The Grand Club Pine Lakes Course

Sixty-three white sand bunkers, water on 11 holes and 7074 yards in length make Pine Lakes one of north-central Florida's most challenging courses. The rolling fairways and manicured greens are always beautifully maintained.

This is potentially the sternest test of golf as well, due particularly to an omnipresent wind that cruises over the course largely unsheltered by trees. Not only does Pine Lakes boast the longest yardage of the Resort courses, it also possesses the most complete and expansive facilities, including banquet areas, men's and women's locker rooms, and an outdoor pool.

The course was designed in 1980 by the team of Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, and if their intention was to design a difficult, championship caliber layout, they found success. Most golfers will want to play it more than once, to take another shot at it when they feel that they've got something more to prove.
