 THE BLUE MONSTER COURSE  The Blue Monster, home of the 2007 WGC-CA Championship, has hosted prestigious PGA Tour events for the past 40 years. In fact, virtually every great name in golf has had a moment of glorious personal triumph on this world-class track. Originally designed by Dick Wilson, and later restored by Raymond Floyd, golfers won't find a more challenging or spectacular golf course. At 7,125 yards from the tournament tees, and with a series of strategically placed bunkers, both length and finesse are needed to score well on this historic course. The Blue Monster features long fairways, undulating green, a deep Bermuda rough and a unique assortment of water hazards. The famous 18th hole, with its signature fountain, was ranked by GOLF Magazine as one of the Top 100 Holes in the World.
Our championship course rated in 2004 & 2005 #76th out of 100 Top places to play by Golf Magazine.
THE GREAT WHITE COURSE A Greg Norman Signature Course, the 7,171-yard, par-72 Great White Course is the only golf course of its kind in the Southeastern United States that utilizes coquina -- crushed shells -- as the primary design element on every hole. In designing the Great White, Norman blended strategically demanding fairways with hundreds of palm trees and sporadic Scottish-style bunkers. He then laid out the course in a manner where water comes into play on 14 of the 18 holes, which makes for a challenging, but picturesque Great White Golf Course. Host to the PGA TOUR's Franklin Templeton “Shoot-Out” in 2000, the Great White was rated as the best new golf course of 2000 by the National Golf Foundation. THE RED COURSE The Red Course forces golfers to use strategy and shot placement, rather than driving for show. Featuring 14 water holes with fairways winding around several lakes, the course provides breath-taking beauty and exhilarating challenges, without intimidating length. This course hosted the LPGA in 2001 for the Office Depot Championship. Unique to the Red Course are two island greens at No. 6 and No. 14. This course is often the site of corporate tournaments due to its promise of a fair test of golf at any level of play. THE GOLD COURSE PGA Tour legend Raymond Floyd recently redesigned this course to follow a traditional Florida layout, incorporating gently contoured greens, strategic bunkering and water surrounding 16 holes. The course features narrow, tree-lined fairways and finishes with a dramatic par-4 island green on the 18th hole. This course hosted the 1999 PGA Qualifying School finals. The Gold Course provides an opportunity for golfers of all abilities to play to their skill level. THE SILVER COURSE Breaking away from a Florida-style layout, golf legend Jerry Pate redesigned the Silver Course to include narrow, rolling fairways, raised tee boxes and elevated greens. The Silver offers a diverse mix of short and long holes throughout the course, with water coming into play on 16 holes. Designed for all levels of championship play, and featuring a signature 14th hole island green, the Silver Course hosted the 1999 PGA Qualifying School finals. The Silver Course was designed to challenge players of all skill levels.
