Innisbrook is home to four outstanding layouts
- all designed by architect Lawrence Packard. The top-rated Copperhead course
hosts the PGA TOUR event each March. The three other championship layouts
feature up to 70 feet of elevation change and scenery more reminiscent of the
Carolina sand hills and Georgia foothills rather than the typical Florida
Terrain. The Island Course recently completed a $2 million renovation featuring
new Tiff Eagle greens.
