Innisbrook's Copperhead course is the Site of the PGA Tour's Transitions Championship. The course is surrounded by rolling hills and narrow fairways lined by tall pine trees, with its signature hole at the 16th, a 475-yard, par 4 hole that doglegs around a lake.
The Island Course is flat with plenty of water hazards to keep players on their toes. There are cypress trees scattered around all 18 holes, with the signature hole at the 570-yard, par-5 seventh that requires players to move around the lake to the green. This course has also been ranked among the country's top 50 resort courses by Golf Digest and the LPGA selected it as the site of its first Legends Tour Open Championship.
The Highlands South Course opened in January 1998 with nine completely new holes, complete with water hazards and bunkers surrounding the greens.
The Highlands North Course has plenty of tight fairways and well-bunkered greens, so accuracy from tee to green is a must.
