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. The Island Course is considered by members to be more challenging than Copperhead. 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:
Ample water, tight fairways, intimidating hazards, and abundant bunkers -- all designed to test the skills of the most accomplished golfer have won much acclaim for the Island Course at Westin Innisbrook. The Island, often considered to be just as challenging as the Copperhead, is ranked among the country's top 50 resort courses by Golf Digest and No. 14 in Travel & Leisure Golf's "Fifty Finest in Florida."

The varying terrain, coupled with a variety of tee placements, can challenge both the professional player as well as the weekend golfer. The course has been a regional qualifier for the U.S. Open and is remembered as well for the NCAA championship that Phil Mickelson won here in 1990.

One of Innisbrook's four championship courses, the Island Course, was the first to open for play in December of 1970. There are 18 truly unique holes here. This is a long par-72 course with water in play on at least half the holes. The Island Course offers enchanting, picture-postcard scenery. You'll find tall pines draped with Spanish moss and lots of serene views.

The Island's first six holes are dominated by lateral water hazards and fairly level terrain which require pinpoint accuracy on both tee shots and approaches. The middle six holes feature rolling hills dominated by cypress and pine trees. The final third of this course boasts a mixture of holes designed to reward the bold yet penalize the errant golf shot. The golf course winds down to a finishing hole that will test the nerves of even the most steady player.

Your first hole is a par-4 (372 yards from the back tees and 322 from the forward). It's dogleg right with a well-protected green. Water runs along the right side of the hole and there are bunkers on both sides of the green. But this opening hole is a birdie opportunity.

The signature hole on this course is No. 7, a par-5 dogleg-left that plays at 565 yards from the back tees and 467 from the forward. This very tight driving hole may be the most treacherous test you'll face on the Island. From the fairway to the green, the ground rises uphill about 60 feet. There's a green here that's well-protected with multiple-lobed bunkers.

The No. 9 hole on the Island Course is another toughie. It's a par-4 that plays 415 yards from the back tees (329 yards from the forward). It's a dogleg left, but it's easy here to run through the fairway and into the woods if you're too daring off the tee. Your approach shot on No. 9 requires a shot over water to a green that's surrounded by bunkers.

The finishing hole on this course is very similar to No. 9 in its layout. It's also one of the most photographed holes in the state of Florida if not in the nation. It's a narrow dogleg-left par-4 (370 yards from the back and 290 from the forward tees) with trees on the right side and lots of water on the left. There's also water in front of the green. You need to use a fairway wood or a long iron off the tee to try to hit around the corner. It's a make-or-break hole. On this hole the green also slopes toward the water.
