INNISBROOK RESORT & GOLF CLUB 4*

Location: Palm Harbour, Florida, 25 miles NW of Tampa

YourGolfTravel Top 100 Golf Course for Rest of the World

Innisbrook is among Florida's most celebrated golfing destinations, appealing to many as a result of the impeccable service and conditioning usually the reserve of prestigious private country clubs. With four championship courses, including one of America's finest, it is clear why Innisbrook is so highly regarded.

Copperhead Course
The legendary Copperhead Course is the annual host of the PODS Championship on the PGA Tour, and is ranked in America's top 100. The outstanding variety inherent to the layout makes it a fascinating test, and if you are brave enough to stride back to the tournament tees, you will be confronted by a par 71 layout measuring a staggering 7,340 yards. Designer Lawrence Packard has combined drastic elevation changes with tight fairways and tricky dog-legs to create one of Florida's finest golf courses.

Island Course
While the Copperhead tends to hog the limelight, the Island Course has been ranked inside Florida's top 15, and is widely regarded to be equally as challenging. Frequently used for regional US Open qualifiers and NCAA events, the Island has a number of huge changes in elevation, and demands pinpoint accuracy from the tee to find the tree-lined fairways. Distance is not crucial, but fascinating holes like the 18^th combine testing angles with strategic water to create formidable challenges.

Highlands North Course
Also designed by Lawrence Packard, the Highlands North Course is renowned for its long par 4s, and particularly for its intimidating set of short holes. Less emphasis is placed on length, but the fairways are tight, and some 15 holes are sculpted around treacherous water hazards. The signature hole is the third, a long par 4 which demands an outstanding approach shot to its partial island green.

Highlands South Course
The Highlands South is just shy of 6,800 yards from the tournament tips, and features the longest par 5 in the state of Florida. There is excellent variation throughout the layout, with fascinating short holes and some inventive par 4s, all shot through with treacherous water hazards. The 13^th is undoubtedly the signature hole, stretching to 630 yards from the tips, and is certainly not for the faint hearted.

The 19th Hole

Guests at the Innisbrook Resort will enjoy accommodation of the highest standard, consisting of guest bedrooms and a range of luxurious suites. All are truly luxurious, and the suite options include a fully fitted kitchen and private balcony or terrace.

In keeping with Innisbrook's mantra of providing unparalleled levels of service and attention to detail, the accommodation is purpose built to maximize both comfort and convenience.

Set in the rolling hills of the resort's estate, within easy reach of Tampa and its International Airport, the Innisbrook Resort's outstanding reputation both locally and further afield is entirely justified, and it makes for a fantastic Florida golf holiday.

The 900-acre resort not only has four championship courses, but also offers its guests use of the 11 championship standard clay tennis courts, and six swimming pools, including the Loch Ness Monster Pool, with its water slides. There are cycling and jogging trails, while the 60-acre private lake is perfect for the avid fisherman. Innisbrook has a well equipped fitness suite, and also specialises in sports massages for weary golfers.

Within a short drive of the international airport at Tampa, the north western coastline of Florida not only offers fantastic golf resorts, but also has some outstanding beaches. Take advantage of the outstanding climate and soak up the rays, or take advantage of the Tampa area's array of attractions, which includes the thrills and spills of the Busch Gardens theme park. The area is known for its excellent shopping, as well as extremely lively nightlife.

The Copperhead Course is seriously good, take my word for it. But if you don't, why not listen to the true experts - Stewart Cink is one advocate for bringing the US Open to Innisbrook's headline act.

For the most tender red meat, head to Packard's Steakhouse, which is named after the course designer, and serves only the best Aberdeen Angus.

The Grill at Loch Ness specialises in hearty sustenance for golfers, and is also famed for its frozen cocktails.

Named after Innisbrook's sister resort in Ayrshire, the Turnberry Pub is golf to the core.
