This is the perfect
course for beginners and experienced players who wish
to work on their short game. There are three par 4's
on the course and water hazards occasionally come into
play on several holes. Hole #8, a 380-yard, par 4, requires
a tee shot that can either be played over a pond or
onto the dogleg left fairway. The greens are medium-sized
and easy to read.
This course had restoration
work done in 1995 that was overseen by Gary Grandstaff,
a member of Pete Dye's staff. They replaced the original
contouring of the greens and added many updated features.
The greens, with new putting surfaces, are large and
vary in undulation. This is a fair course because there
are no hidden hazards. The finishing hole, a 543-yard,
par 5, has water guarding both sides of the fairway
and another water hazard sitting to the right of the
well-bunkered green. The facility hosted the 1972 NCAA
Championships and the 1996 Southwest Florida PGA Championship.
Lessons and clinics are offered by certified PGA professionals;

This club has three
nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen
hole combinations. This is a golf course community which
is continuing to grow. The Queen Course is a target
course and requires shot accuracy. All three courses
were built on rolling terrain, and palm trees and sand
bunkers come into play on just about every hole. Lakes
come into play on all three courses. The housing development
around the course is separate from the golf course.
However, you may join the club.
