![]() Located 20 miles from Tampa International Airport on Florida's sparkling Gulf Coast, Innisbrook has become one of the country's most celebrated golf destinations. As golf is a game of tradition, Innisbrook consistently offers both sensational service and the type of pristine course conditions that one might expect to find at the finest private country clubs. Here you'll find four championship layouts, including the Copperhead Golf Course...home to the PGA TOUR's Chrysler Championship. One of the most challenging and scenic holes here is the Highlands North par-4 with an island green. The readers of Golf Digest also just named Innisbrook to the highly respected "Best Places to Play" listings. In addition to four outstanding golf courses, the resort also offer three award-winning golf shops and The Innisbrook Troon Golf Institute, rated one of America's Top 25 Golf Schools by Golf Magazine. All this in a private, wooded oasis with all the amenities one would expect of a full-service resort destination. Course Description: This beautiful 18-hole layout features tight fairways and well-bunkered greens, placing a costly 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 and considered a shotmaker's course with a premium on accuracy. 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. Eleven of the 18 holes here have water on them. The other seven have narrow fairways with lots of trees and bunkers. The signature hole is No. 3, a 470-yard par-4 that is a tight driving hole (345 yards from the front). You will need a long and accurate drive to get started on this hole. It's straightaway, but there's water on the right and left and rough farther down on the right. Then you have a long carry to a partial island green. One of the most scenic holes here is No. 5, a dogleg-right par-4 (410 yards from the back tees and 300 from the forward) that curves around the water. Your second shot has to take you onto an island green. Whenever you say the words 'island green,' it puts fear into the heart of golfers. On top of it all, you can't see the island green from the tee because this is a pretty sharp dogleg. You have to hit down a chute of trees off the tee. If you go too far right, you're in the water No. 8 is an excellent par-5 (510 yards from the back tees and 425 from the forward). It's a 90-degree dogleg right uphill with a river running across the fairway. Golfers who like to gamble will love this hole, especially if they can hit the ball well. The brave may choose their driver off the tee to try to go over the river, but most golfers will lay up in front of the water and then go uphill. On the second shot, you start all over again by trying to hit a cut shot over 50-foot trees. No. 14 is a par-4 dogleg left that measures 400 yards from the back tees and 320 from the forward. You hit off the tee to the landing area through a tunnel of trees. Your approach shot requires hitting over a river and lake combination that goes all the way across the fairway.
