abundant native wildlife. For information on residential and lifestyle opportunities, visit their website by clicking here.
Mature pines, flowering magnolias, live oaks and seasonal annual flowers adorn the property, creating a lush and serene residential and golf environment. The 7300 yard John
Sanford designed golf course is sculpted into the rolling terrain, with manicured conditioning from tee to green, and with five sets of tee boxes that afford golfers of all skill levels to

courts, and a 5 mile jogging trail that winds through the nature preserve. A halfway house is situated near ninth and tenth holes, providing sandwiches, snacks and beverages for
those making the turn.
The course features a variety of sand features raging from sprawling waste areas to conventional fairways and greenside traps, with 74 such hazards scattered about the course.
Water comes into play in the form of crystal clear spring fed ponds and natural areas on 7 holes. The tee boxes play to distances measuring 7236 (143/75.4), 6729 (139/72.6),

The yardage marking system includes sprinkler heads that are measured to the center of the green, plus Laser Link that provides accurate yardages to the pin. A daily pin
placement sheet is also available to let golfers know which of the quadrants are chosen for the day's hole locations. Each tee box also has yardage markers that are measured to
the center of the green, from each set on every hole.
This is a very upscale golf experience (rates including cart top out at around $149 per player in 2009). Golfers willing to take the drive from Orlando will be glad they did - we highly
recommend this experience! For more information, visit our page for this course, with direct link to their website by clicking here.
