"This course is designed for utmost enjoyment and requires the golfer to use every club in the bag."
—Ron Garl, course architect, Grande Vista Golf Club
Designer Ron Garl’s comment describes the feel of the course in the context of your left-brain: The logic behind this course’s design is to make you think twice and place shots among the lush landscape as if you were playing chess with Mother Nature herself. For those more inclined to use the right side, don't worry — there’s plenty of spontaneous opportunities to play risk-reward golf on this brilliant layout, with beautiful features beckoning your creative side.
The nine-hole par-32 layout measures out to a modest 2,308 yards from the tips with a course/slope rating of 31/113. You’ll find three different tee locations to match difficulty and skill level. With towering pines, mature oaks and requisite cypress trees, this Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary-certified program provides you with some of the best ambiance you’ll find in the Sunshine State.
Be sure to pay homage to both Grande Vista’s pro shop as well as their driving range to give your game the love it deserves before heading out for your round. The Club-Fitter’s Workshop carries all of the top name brands as well as the knowledge of a master club-fitter.
"Pleasure for your eyes, improvement for your game" — they couldn’t have painted a better picture for you, so pack up the clubs and see the nine-hole executive layout of Grande Vista Golf Club for yourself!
