The Championship Course is made up of the Champion and Challenger 9-hole loops and is the layout played annually on the PGA TOUR. Featuring gently undulating fairways, immaculate greens, and a strong presence of water hazards, the course provides a demanding yet rewarding test for golfers of all abilities.

Multiple tee boxes allow players to tailor the challenge to their game, while tournament conditioning ensures an authentic PGA TOUR experience from tee to green.

Charger 9

A more traditional resort-style layout, the Charger 9 offers a slightly more forgiving round while maintaining excellent conditioning. Palm-lined fairways and water features provide a relaxed contrast to the championship course, and guests can enjoy the flexibility of a 27-hole venue during their stay.
