It's a beautiful day at Bobcat Trail. You'll most likely hear this a few times when you visit Bobcat Trail for a round of golf, but they really mean it. "The Cat" is one of Sarasota County's best clubs as signified by their 4 1/2-star rating in Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play." Laid out by PGA Champion, Bob Tway, and architect Lee Singletary, the course will really make you think as there are risk-reward decisions to make all over the lot. The club has also undergone a renovation of the entire complex including brand new Champion Bermuda greens, renovated and enlarged clubhouse (with flat screen TVs), bunker renovation and new Precedent Golf Cars with GPS. Once again, it's a beautiful day at Bobcat Trail.

Open to the public, this 18-hole course provides an entertaining round of golf amid a spectacular natural landscape. The tropically lush links and the spectacular back nine — a wildlife preserve sanctioned by the Audubon Cooperative Society — provide a diverse array of native wildlife and foliage. Sanibel's only aqua driving range and practice greens are great for warming up your game.

Heron Creek is an Arthur Hills masterful creation. The 27-hole layout consisting of the Creek, Marsh, and Oak nines winds quietly through the community providing a beautiful backdrop for neighboring homes. Elevated tees help you line up your drives, while an abundance of water features create unusual and frequent challenges. In typical Hills' fashion, every level of golfer will be challenged, but without intimidation.

Billed as the only "stand alone" Jack Nicklaus course in Southwest Florida, Old Corkscrew Golf Club is not part of a real estate development. Named for the winding river nearby, it's set on a 275-acre site about seven miles east of I-75. The course is built to Audubon International standards and reflects its original natural setting with stands of cypress and magnificently tall pines. Nicklaus' design philosophy is apparent throughout with well balanced holes that vary in direction, look, and feel. Put Old Corkscrew on your itinerary and be one of the first to play this extraordinary golf course.

Located in north Fort Myers lays one of the finest courses in Southwest Florida. In keeping his reputation of designing top quality golf courses along Florida's Gulf Coast, Chip Powell has done it again with Pelican Preserve Golf Club. The design features abounding water, sand and grass hollow hazards that are perfectly complemented by generous landing areas and gentle contouring of TifEagle "Ultradwarf" greens. Players will have a memorable golf experience from the moment they step up to the first tee to the moment they hole out on one of the best finishing holes anywhere, the 444-yard Par-4 eighteenth. This dogleg right finishing hole not only features its challenge in length, but also requires a precise tee shot to avoid a nasty cluster of bunkers at the dogleg and to avoid the water hazard that lurks just through the fairway. Golfers will then be faced with a mid-iron to the green protected to the left by a bunker and the water hazard.

WCI, in a partnership with Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, sought the expertise of golf legend Raymond Floyd to design 27 golf holes and make history, as Raptor Bay becomes the first resort course in the world to receive Audubon International's Gold Signature Certification. The first 18 holes opened for play in September 2001 and feature multiple tee locations, so the course can play from a variety of lengths and angles. Fairways are very wide and feature one height of cut throughout the course.
Unique to Raptor Bay is the use of native sand and palmetto areas, which are incorporated into the design of waste areas. The course is devoid of any sand bunkers; instead, golfers will selectively encounter these sandy native areas adjacent to greens and fairways. Surrounding the course are 22 acres of lakes and more than 200 acres of native vegetation and nature preserve areas, giving some lucky guests a chance to glimpse a bald eagle or gopher tortoise.

This Signature Davis Love III design is his first in the Florida market. River Hall Country Club is a private golf course built within the gates of a masterfully planned LandMar community. The layout stretches out to over 7,200 yards from the tips and adheres to Love's design philosophy that "modern courses should be designed in a traditional manner, with emphasis on strategy and playability, and where creativity is reflected in the subtleties of design detail."

Long Marsh's gently rolling fairways meander through 300 acres of natural Florida scrub, its fairways and greens invitingly framed by native pines, oaks and palms. Now a 27-hole facility, each hole has its own distinctive character, set amid natural bunkers, lakes and marshes that are havens for wildlife. This Ted McAnlis-designed course opened in February of 1999 and is enjoyable for golfers of all levels. Four sets of tee boxes provide course distances ranging from 7120 yard to 5257 yards.
Since it opened in December 2002, this beautiful Gordon Lewis design has been receiving accolades. The great par-three seventh was featured on NBC-2's "Dream 18" TV program featuring the best 18 holes in Southwest Florida. Best of all, the rest of the holes are just as good! Located along the shores of the Caloosahatchee River, the popular club is located just minutes from the Sanibel Island causeway in Ft. Myers. It's the perfect choice for any visiting golfer with great greens and excellent customer service.
Located south of Ft. Myers in Estero is Stoneybrook, one of the longest courses in Florida at 7353 yards. Featuring the "Magnificent 7 Tees," (that's right, seven sets of tees!), this upscale public course runs through immense preserve areas and a variety of pines, oaks, and cypress heads. Although accented with imposing waste bunkers and mounds, the layout's rolling fairways provide spacious landing areas. Not surprising for a Jed Azinger/Gordon Lewis design, every hole is just as spectacular as the last. Best of all, the club is convenient to both Ft. Myers and Naples area hotels. Make sure to play this gem!

Chip Powell is considered one of today's most thoughtful and ingenious golf architects. His layout at Venetian Golf & River Club provides all the aspects of course design that today's players are looking for. There are a number of challenging hazards, but you won't find the course to be overly penal. This terrific course is set on 660 acres and provides panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. You'll be eager to see what's next as each hole seems as memorable as the last. Venetian is a WCI Properties managed facility.
