The Classic by Gary Player - Private Equity Club
Surrounded by sub-tropical woodlands, this 18-hole championship course features tree-lined fairways and gentle contours. Within a serene natural setting, Gary Player designed this masterpiece as a player´s course that requires planning, strategy and ball striking ability. View Score Card
Flamingo Island by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. - public course
The course is characterized by extensive sculpting and shaping of the land. The water hazards are both strategic as well as scenic and the course features multiple teeing areas and large contoured greens. The back tees are made more demanding by the hourglass fairways and contoured sand bunkers, and when swirling, the winds present a real challenge. The Flamingo Island Course was recognized it as one of the country´s best by Golfweek Magazine.

The Mustang by Lee Trevino - public course
Designed by Lee Trevino, the course emphasizes his philosophy of making the game challenging and fair for golfers of all levels. Designed as a forgiving layout, it gives the player the ability to recover from a bad shot. Twelve lakes line the fairways and extensive bunkering is found throughout. The landing areas are generous and there are forgiving entries to each of the greens. At 7,200 yards from the back tees, it is a course that provides varied and spectacular conditions for players of all skill levels. The Mustang was given 4 ½ stars by Golf Digest.
