ABOUT THE C OURSES

River Ridge Course - The father and son team of Pete and P.B. Dye designed River Ridge with an eye toward beauty as well as “playability.” Situated among vast wetlands, it’s considered to be one of the top golf courses within Florida’s golf communities and has played host to numerous qualifying rounds for USGA Championships, including the U.S. Open.  A full- scale renovation was completed in 2015 by architect, Kipp Schulties.

Golden Marsh Course - The Golden Marsh course, originally designed by Joe Lee was redesigned by Bobby Weed in 2018.  It has tropical charm, swaying palms, and grand sweeping vistas at every turn.  The delicate natural beauty of this course offers a more subtle challenge than its brother but still manages to provide a true test for golfers at all handicap levels.
