Indigo Run - Golden Bear (££):
This Jack Nicklaus layout winds through lush forests and scenic landscape. The greens here are on the smallish side, placing a premium on accuracy with approach shots. The most appealing aspect of the courses however, is the variety of holes - from open, park-like settings, to tranquil tree lined fairways, to winding lagoons and oaks.

Oyster Reef (££):
Featuring elevated tees and fairways, lined by thick stands of live oaks and pines, Oyster Reef offers a test worthy of the most skilled golfer. Numerous doglegs call for well-planned tee shots and large greens with undulations and tiers place a premium on precise approach shots. The par 3 sixth is one of the most visually spectacular holes on the island.

Palmetto Dunes - Robert Trent Jones Course (££):
An oceanfront classic, this picturesque course was the first in Palmetto Dunes and it remains the most popular amongst visitors and residents alike. The open fairways and large greens make this course a pleasure to play, although keeping the ball out of water on the shorter back nine can be a challenge.

From a player's standpoint, Cupp is great fun to play for all skill levels.
