...great...
Reviewed May 8, 2024
...the classy, extremely spacious resort and the two Greg Norman Courses, nothing is missing!!!
The great thing is that it is an open area with no buildings and plenty of space to play.
The course maintenance was perfect, the best we have seen and played so far on this two-month trip to Florida - all that's left is the stream song!!
The International Course was built in links style, with holes with lots of small, poisonous bunkers in the fairway, on the edge of the fairway and in front of the greens, but also without bunkers. Some of the greens are below average in size, with almost mean shapes and therefore very difficult to play. They were great to play, but brutally difficult - the ball rolled, rolled and rolled... like in Scotland.
You could think we were there, but the weather, the temperatures and the water that comes into play every now and then, as well as the silhouette brought us back to reality.
The course offers 400 yards per hole from the back tees and was playable for all men; the ladies chose a white/gold combo.
The National is a little tamer - from the back tees - not quite 400 yards - larger, but not as many bunkers. The course leads north past woods and has no water. It is a very long, drawn-out 18 holes.
Staff simply perfect.
We stayed here and played both courses twice.
The clubhouse is located on White Shark Blvd - what else could it be called!!!

Definitely worth a visit
Reviewed November 5, 2022
International Course, played in November 2022.
The course is laid out in the links style, with many small and large bunkers, some water hazards and doglegs that you can shorten depending on the wind. Basically it's a wide meadow and the wind is the best defense. As you know it from links golf. There are no houses around the course, which is positive. But the busy access road passes a few holes, which is annoying. Care condition flawless, which affects both Fairwasy and the greens. These are not too fast, but faithful. There are 5 tee boxes for all skill levels. Booked through Golfnow, I found €130 as a non-hotel guest including cart appropriate. Playing time almost 5 hours because quite full (guests and members). Nice service in the clubhouse and at the Caddymaster. Interesting: rental clubs (€85) include 6 balls and a glove. All in all, a recommendable course and, according to the member of my flight, also the better course of the two in the resort.

The National Course - a real challenge
Reviewed January 4, 2013
Anyone looking for a real golfing challenge, should play the National Course of black. 75.2 Course Rating and Slope 138 So this place is sometimes loosely in the range of 5 worst places in Germany. No par 3 at 185 meters, only 3 par 4 under 350 m and 2 par 5's longer than 570 m. To about 60 bunkers (and always in driving distance). Tees and fairways are in good to very good condition, the greens unfortunately a tad too slow. The service at reception is excellent and $ 80 during the week the place is also reasonably priced. Class and the driving range (here is also the headquarters of David Leadbetter - with Callaway fitting center and Oddysee) and the practice area. One sees here a few constantly Tourpros or female pros practice.
