Nicklaus Course – American-style course with abundant water hazards
The Nicklaus Course offers a good test of golf and offers a different style of golf from the original Norman Course, which plays in Dunes and Ocean settings.
A series of interconnected lakes and creeks meander throughout the course with wooden walls framing the holes and separating the greens from the surrounding water hazards. These bullheads are unique and give the Nicklaus Course a distinctly Floridian feel. The materials, not coincidently all imported from the USA, form a crucial feature of other Nicklaus courses and associated playing strategies.
This Norman designed Dune Course is a unique golf challenge that every golfer will enjoy. Fairways are generous, and there is restrained use of water and no out-of-bounds. Sculpted bunkering, shaped putting greens, and abundant natural waste areas have been cut directly from the surrounding dunes. Scoring well requires carefully placed shots to give players a chance to go for the pins on the undulating greens. The fairways are also lined and well defined by long needle pines, so miss into the trees, and it’s a forced punch off the sand and pine needles along a safe line to get back into play.
