The Pine Barrens Course at World Woods, ranked #64 in the World by Golf Digest, is a visually stunning blend of native terrain and golf course design. Named for the many pine trees that line its length, the acclaimed layout is sculpted from an expansive pine forest with surprising and dramatic changes in elevation. The large manicured fairways framed by expansive untamed waste bunkering create a unique golf experience. The course's style has been compared to that of Pine Valley in New Jersey - the consensus No. 1 course in the world. Pine Barrens offers many intimidating, yet, enjoyable holes. The golfer who challenges Pine Barrens will find the course to test both the physical and mental aspects of the game.

The Rolling Oaks Course provides the second world-class layout at World Woods. An entirely different, yet no less enjoyable experience than playing Pine Barrens, this course's name also gives clue to its design. Despite being built directly adjacent to the Pine Barrens Course, differences in soil content allow the land to support giant Oak trees draped with Spanish moss that regularly accent the holes. Sharply defined bunkers filled with bleached white sand contrast beautifully with the rich green fairways.

These attributes coupled with the many Azalea bushes present in the landscaping are reminiscent of the famed Augusta National. The beautiful rolling fairways that lead to undulating greens add drama to this more traditional course design. Many changes in hole style and length create a great blend of holes that requires a variety of shots and a strategic approach to score well. This course will be closed June 1 - November 1, 2010.

The 263-acre North course is every essence of a worthy compliment. Architect Kurt Sandness, of the South course, is the man behind Lake Jovita's North course. A little more contemporary in style, the North course has even greater elevation changes than the South; providing golfers with positively incredible views of the scenic community. The North Course continues the tradition of the South Course in terms of movement and elevation changes that are contrary to most Florida courses. In fact, from the second tee box, you can see five or six miles to the northeast.

Lake Jovita is rolling hills. Undulating valleys. Ancient hardwood forests dotted with freshwater lakes. The landscape and elevation changes here are far more typical of North Carolina than they are of Florida. But, make no mistake, this is Florida at its finest. You'll be interested to know that the Lake Jovita South Golf Course features the longest natural drop of any golf course in the state - 94 feet from tee to green on the Par 5 11th hole.

This beautiful 18-hole layout features tight fairways and well-bunkered greens, placing a premium on accuracy from tee to green. Recent course improvements include longer, more challenging par-4s and -5s with added bunkers and waste areas to create greater penalties throughout for those errant approach shots. This course is known for its daunting par-3s. "This is known as a shotmaker's course," says Director of Golf, Jay Overton. "There's definitely a premium on accuracy and not so much on distance."

Also designed by Lawrence Packard, the Highlands North at Innisbrook is similar in terrain to the Copperhead Course, but not in length. Rolling fairways and water throughout make club selection your most important strategy on this course. About 6,600 yards from the back tees, this course is known for its long par-3s and small greens. Ball placement becomes critical.

The Copperhead undoubtedly is the golf course that most lovers of golf are familiar with. After all, they've seen America's greatest golf stars taking on its pine tree-lined fairways and rolling terrain during the PGA TOUR's PODS Championship each March. So you, like many other visitors to Innisbrook, will want to make the Copperhead one of your must-places to play.

With its unusual elevation changes, the natural setting of the Copperhead course will probably remind you of a Carolina layout rather than Florida's West Coast. The Copperhead is ranked in the Top 100, and among "America's Top Resort Courses" by Golf Digest. From the tournament tees Copperhead presents a stern test of golf. At 7,340 yards, this par-71 layout is designed to challenge players of all ability levels. The Copperhead Practice Facility is located adjacent to the first hole and is complimentary to those with a tee time on the course.

The Highlands South Course stretches almost 6,800 from the back tees. This course features the longest Par 5 in the state. Highlands South promises undulating terrain that brings the wind into play when making club selection. Ample waste bunkers and 10 water hazards offer a great challenge. This course is almost a links style, both in its set-up and the way it plays with its fairway bunkers and rolling terrain. You'll get off to a moderately easy start with a straightaway par-4 that plays at 335 yards from the back tees and 250 from the forward. You do have to avoid a large bunker on the left and trees on the right.

There's a great par-3 on the third hole that measures 180 yards from the back tees and 100 from the front. This hole has a very narrow green that measures about 40 feet at its deepest point. There's plenty of water in front of the green. Accuracy and distance control is very important here. "If you're short, you'll end up in the water. If you're long, you'll be in the back bunker," says Director of Golf, Jay Overton.

Ample water, tight fairways, intimidating hazards, and abundant bunkers -- all designed to test the skills of the most accomplished golfer have won much acclaim for the Island Course. The Island, often considered to be just as challenging as the Copperhead, is ranked among the country's top 50 resort courses by Golf Digest and No. 14 in Travel & Leisure Golf's "Fifty Finest in Florida." The varying terrain, coupled with a variety of tee placements, can challenge both the professional player as well as the weekend golfer. The course has been a regional qualifier for the U.S. Open and is remembered as well for the NCAA championship that Phil Mickelson won here in 1990.

Noted golf course architect, PGA Tour professional and NBC-TV commentator Gary Koch and master architect Rick Robbins are responsible for the front nine of The Forest Course, while noted architect Ron Garl designed the back nine.

Accuracy is a premium on this course, with its highly contoured fairways and well placed, meticulous greens. This course measures 6,700 yards and features the signature island-green, par-3 sixth hole, which rivals the famous 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass in Jacksonville.

An abundance of water inspired the moniker for this course. Water comes into play on virtually every hole. This 18-hole course measures over 7,100 yards and is more like the traditional Florida course with huge greens and generous driving areas. Both nines of The Lakes start out with unique par-5's that challenge golfers to use their creativity to make a sub-par score.

As you play these outstanding layouts, you soon understand why The Eagles has a hard-won reputation for well-conditioned tees, greens and fairways.

The course at The Golf Club of Bridgewater located in Lakeland Florida, is another amazing design by architect Steve Smyers. He has carved out 18 magnificent holes, each having its own specific challenge. You must play "HEART BREAK RIDGE". It is number 4 and has become a favorite for few and a menace for many more. With a tight driving area to a narrow 12 foot elevated green surrounded by water left and a 12 foot deep bunker right, this hole challenges the better players to conquer it.

The goal was to build an interesting test of golf for all skill levels, but specifically be a stern challenge for the long hitting players. Steve Smyers accomplished this by developing this links style course with a risk-reward approach especially around the greens.

The beautifully manicured, par-72 golf course features two distinctive nines. The front nine has an open links feel with wide fairways and greens that will accept bump-and-run approach shots.

Starting from the heart of the resort, walking distance from your guest accommodations, this par 71 Arnold Palmer creation is an inviting test very different from the Saddlebrook course, and also fun to play. While many of the holes provide generous driving areas, the firm fairways are contoured to resemble a rolling New England course. Level ground is rare. Hilly lies make it difficult to attain the accuracy needed to find the small elevated greens. These tif-eagle greens are firm, fast and undulating, allowing only crisply struck shots to hold the surface. Miss the green and you face a difficult par. Several holes require length; all require finesse. Golf groups always enjoy the challenge. You must stay at Saddlebrook Resort to play this course.
