Cedar Hammock Golf Club, Naples, 8670 Davis Blvd, (239) 793-1134 (o)
  Nestled perfectly amongst towering pines and cypress trees lies South West Florida's newest 18 hole championship layout - Cedar Hammock. The pristine cypress and pine preserves provide the beautiful framework for this gracious new golf course. This 18 hole layout tips out at over 6800 yards but with 5 sets of tees golfers of any level can comfortably challenge this course. Cedar Hammock's highlights include: A large practice green, chipping green with a bunker, and a large practice tee; USGA greens with the new TIFEAGLE Bermuda grass that will provide smother, faster, and truer putting surfaces; Numerous glimmering lakes and pristine tree-lined fairways that visually challenge but rarely impede your round.

This championship course runs the gamut from the tantalizing third ot the monstrous 18th. Called "The Thinker's Paradise" because of the variety of shot making skills required, Cypress Woods is challenging yet very playable.

Grandezza, Estero, 11471 Grande Oak Blvd, (239) 948-2900, (?)
Exhilarating is the word most often used to describe Grandezza Golf Club's 18-hole championship golf course. Five sets of tees, undulating greens, rolling fairways and significant elevation changes all combine to make this Darwin Sharp III design one of the most challenging in Florida.

Hammock Bay, Marco Island, 1450 Main Sail Dr., (239) 394-2581, (o)
Old name: Marco Shores
 A "tropical jewel" in the paradise of Southwest Florida most appropriately describles Hammock Bay Country Club. In a natural setting, neatly blended against the native mangroves and waterways of the "Ten Thousand Island," wildlife is abundant. The course, with its well-bunkered greens and wide fairways, was designed by the architectural team of Bruce Devlin and Bob Von Hagge in 1975. Gene Sarazen served as honorary chairman of Hammock Bay Country Club. He also provided the inspiration for much of the architectural design inherent to the golf course. "Hammock Bay," Marco Island's closest public golf course, is a perennial favorite among residents as well as guests. As with all fine courses, proper dress code is strictly enforced.

The Creek is a true test of power and skill from th long tees. The opening hole is a lakeside, 400+ yard par-4, the first of two 400-yarders in the initial six holes. Both par-5s on the front - the 510-yard fifth and the 542-yard ninth - require three shots of reach the green. On the 528-yard 17th hole, a meandering stream must be crossed twice on the way to the clubhouse.
  The second course is the QUAIL course.

Located in North Naples, off Immokalee
The Quail Course measures but 6233 yards from the blue tees - a relatively short course by most contemporary standards, but not a layout to be taken lightly. Arthur Hills has done some of his best design work here. The front nine par-5s - the 500-yard first and third holes are very challenging. The par-4s are generally shorter than on the Creek course, but many are tight doglegs placing a premium on accuracy off the tee.

Valencia Golf Course at Orangetree, Naples, (239) 352-0777, (o)
 Valencia Golf Course has remained the most affordably priced public golf course in the Naples market. Its spectacular layout and high level of service has made it the "Must Play Course" of the area. Noted golf course architect Gordon Lewis has taken advantage of the property's pristine natural Florida beauty and carved a challenging course that takes into play sparkling lakes, lush stands of Florida palms, pines and cypress hammock preserves. Trees frame almost every hole on the back nine. The course iss amenable to virtually all skill levels. From the championship tees, power and accuracy are paramount, but golfers have a choice of five sets of tees to match their abilities with this fair test of golf.

A challenge in a spectacular setting. Tough and long to play from the blue tees. Keep ball on fairways! JP. (103)

Vanderbilt, Naples, 430 County Road 951, (239) 348-2663, 348-2662, (o)
 One of the newer gems to have been built in the Naples area, the Vanderbilt Country Club, is a challenge from the word go. Located at the end of Vanderbilt Beach Road, eight miles from the ocean, it is indeed a scenic wonderland. The course was carved out of 150 acres of prime, Florida forest land. There's even a 40-acre nature preserve smack dab in the middle of the front nine. But in addition to all its idyllic beauty, Vanderbilt has teeth.

 A course in great design.

Vineyards, Naples, 400 Vineyards Blvd, (239) 353-0505, (i)
North course, 18 holes. Vineyards' North Course is designed to test players both mentally as well as physically. Prevailing breezes make club selction challenging, thus the North Course plays longer than its total yardage might suggest. Novices and seasoned veterans alike will be tempted to go for shots that might be better suited to conservative play.

I-75 exit 16, east 1/4 mile.
 
South Course, 18 holes. Home of Senior PGA Tour events "The Challenge", Vineyards' South Course has garnered quite a reputation since it opened in 1988. Carving its its way through the Vineyards community, this course is lined with live oaks, jacarandas, and plenty of sable palms. Players will be tested not only by the winds off the nearby Gulf of Mexico, but by the small, undulating greens throughout the course.

Golf Tips

Top:TOP OF PAGE

Hidden dares and secret challenges typity Florida golf. Here are a few tips to keep the ball where it belongs.

Northern fairways, with softer earth and more give, accept divot shots gracefully. Our fairways don't. Go easy on the divots, or you'll rabbit hop toward the green. Your wrists won't like it much, either.

Dry winter fairways are faster than summer fairways.

Unlike the soft, bent grass of the North, the area's stiff Bermuda grass grabs the club face; consider using an extra club when hitting to the green.

The ball sits low in area Bermuda grasses, not high like in Nothern grasses.

Naples area rough tends to be rough - thick, tangled vegetaton that thrives on golf balls.

Water hazards abound here. Aside from the knee-quaking effect they have all by themselves,, drainage designs tip the fairway slightly, just enough to encourage bounce-bounce, plop-plop.

The area's flatter terrain plays tricks on depth perception for the first few rounds. Golfers tend to see short, and they hit short.

Caution: New sand tends to be fluffy, a perfect medium for fried eggs.

Area putting surfaces, with grainier grass, tend to be less smooth and require stronger strokes than those up North.
