Course Description

Coral Creek is a Robin Nelson & Hayworth design 18-hole championship golf course. Water comes into play on at least 13 holes, mostly in the form of natural spring fed lakes or coral creeks. Players will find the cool prevailing winds pleasant, but take note that this "cool breeze" can play havoc with any shot you play; making the water hazards an even greater threat. Each hole is distinctly different and calls for an arsenal of shot-making skills and strategy. Elevated greens protected by strategic bunkers incorporate sloping conditions and false fronts.

Cost - $365 pp (includes club rental, shoe rental & guide to assist with check in)
