West Bay GC (16-18)

This Pete and P.B. Dye Audubon Signature course was designed and built with respect to the abundant wildlife in the surrounding 500-acre nature preserve. Golfers at all levels, from touring pros to weekend enthusiasts, will be excited by the challenging, innovative design. Twelve of the course’s eighteen holes are adorned by water features. Strategically placed bunkers and tight, yet well-defined, fairways will push golfers to the next level.
