There are 70 sand bunkers situated along the landing zones on the gently rolling fairways or greenside, and water comes into play in some shape or form on 16 holes. There are several forced carries over natural areas or ponds, but most of the water is located on the perimeters. The well manicured fairways are usually bound woodlands, water and or sand bunkers. Golfers will also encounter several sprawling sandy waste areas.

This course is immaculately maintained, with tropical foliage lining the cart paths and sprucing up the tee boxes. Most of the ponds and lakes are pristine, and are replete with plentiful native wildlife. One of the hazards is advertised as a "fly fishing pond". The Tif Eagle greens run quick and true, and are mildly undulating. Miss with approaches however, and golfers will find their ball rolling into the collection areas that often surround the gently raised green complexes. Bump and run chips can be utilized here extensively.

With the 5 tee areas, plentiful room near the greens and generally wide fairways, this is a course that can be fun for resort golfers. Avid players will be challenged by the distance and variety in design that will require pretty much every kind of shot in the book. We highly recommend a round here – and keep in mind that walking is possible! For more info, visit our page for the course with direct link to their website by clicking here.
