Cypress Knoll
53 E. Hampton Blvd.
386-437-5807
Gary Player designed Cypress Knoll Golf Club to conform to the boundaries of native wetlands and natural lakes. At 6,591 yards, it's been called an "environmental masterpiece" that can be enjoyed by all players. The narrow fairways are lined with hazards that make reaching the greens in regulation a challenge and the collection of par threes is the best you'll find anywhere.

Pine Lakes
400 Pine Lakes Parkway N.
386-445-0852
Recently voted the 13th best golf course in Florida, Pine Lakes is the longest of the Palm Coast courses. Fortunately for the big hitters, it can also be the most forgiving! On the other hand, there is water on half of the holes and long-iron approach shots are uncommon. Pine Lakes has hosted the PGA Tour Qualifying School. It was designed by Palmer-Seay. Several white sand bunkers are subtly positioned on the fairways. The rolling fairways and manicured greens are always beautifully maintained. Pine Lakes was recently voted the 13th best course in Florida.

World Golf Village: The Slammer & The Squire
Two World Golf Pl.,St. Augustine
904-940-6088
This course was named after Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen. It meanders through the scenic beauty of native flatwoods and hardwood hammocks, while bordering on wetland preserves and wildlife habitat. The greens are very large and undulating and built like "upside-down" table tops, which is reminiscent of vintage greens. A number of fairways are tree lined, however, they are very playable and directed not at punishing beginners, but present an interesting challenge for the advanced golfer.

World Golf Village: The King & The Bear Course
Two World Golf Pl., St. Augustine
904-940-6088
This course was designed by Nicklaus and Palmer. It measures 7,279 yards from the back tees. The course blends two distinct styles: the front nine has a more open, "linksy" feel, while the back nine is more traditional and tree lined.

LPGA International Champions and Legends Courses
300 Champions Dr., Daytona Beach
904-274-5742
The home of the LPGA Tour presents challenging, affordable and memorable golf.
The newer Legends Course, designed by Arthur Hills, guides the golfer through testing, target golf, surrounded by tall, dense pines, magnolias and centuries-old oaks.
The Champions Course, designed by Rees Jones, opened in July 1994, and is much more forgiving. At 7,088 yards from the back tees, this links-style designed course present problems if you get an uneven lie on the strategic mounding, or stray one into the marshy areas or numerous lakes.
Champions was the first golf course in history designed for professional women golfers. Golf for Women rated it No. 1 among "America's Best Women-Friendly Golf Courses.", and the LPGA moved its headquarters here in 1989 from Houston.
