Innisbrook Golf Resort
Innisbrook Golf and Spa Resort, host of the PGA TOUR’s Valspar Championship each April, is unquestionably a golf lover’s dream come true with four impeccable golf courses all located at one beautiful destination.
All of Innisbrook’s four championship courses – Copperhead, North, South, and Island – were designed by legend Larry Packard, resulting in a resort-wide consistency in vision and detail. The innovative designs presented by Packard feature elevation change and scenery more reminiscent of the Carolina sandhills and Georgia foothills, a welcome change of pace from the typical Florida terrain.
Often referred to as “Baby Copperhead,” the North Course remains one of its most challenging courses and has easily become a guest favorite. Known for its daunting par 3s, North features well-bunkered greens, tight fairways, and an abundance of trees that are guaranteed to test your nerves. North also boasts an abundance of water hazards present at eleven holes on the course, making club selection a critical decision when trying to break par.
The South Course is more reminiscent of a links-style design, both in terms of rolling terrain and numerous fairway bunkering. At over 6,600 yards with ample waste bunkers, a total of 10 water hazards, undulating terrain, and beautiful Gulf of Mexico breezes, South is yet another great Innisbrook challenge that has become a favorite of returning guests.
Take on the North Course and find out for yourself whether you think the “Baby” is more lethal than the famous Copperhead, or tee off on the picturesque yet demanding South Course and enjoy the beautiful Gulf breeze. Both of these strikingly scenic layouts offer challenging play for golfers of all levels that you won’t want to miss out on.
There’s a reason golfers from all over the world travel to play at Innisbrook, and there’s never been a better time to discover why.
