Florida in our sims

Arnold Palmer's winter home course and longtime residence (owned by Palmer 1974-2016); hosts the Arnold Palmer Invitational since 1979.

Built on the highest ground in Collier County using dynamite-blasted coral rock to shape ponds and ridgelines up to 58 feet, Calusa Pines has held a spot in Golf Digest's Top 100 since 2007 — a rare feat of real elevation for a Florida golf course.

The inland companion to the Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course at the same Palm Coast resort, featuring waterfalls, brooks, and fieldstone work.

Long-time PGA Tour stop (Doral Open/WGC-Cadillac Championship) known for its water-guarded par-3 18th; comprehensively rebuilt hole-by-hole by Gil Hanse in 2014 for the Trump Organization, which acquired the resort in 2012.

A daily-fee course in the Orlando-area tourist corridor near Walt Disney World, recreated for GSPro through community lidar-based course scanning.

One of Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s last designs; a demanding par-71 (7,138 yards, 137 slope) with Sea Dwarf Paspalum/Bermuda turf, classic RTJ penal bunkering and heavy water play. Semi-private, purchased by the Creighton family in 2013.

The first of Larry Packard's four Innisbrook courses, opened with the resort in 1970; tight fairways, rolling terrain and abundant water make it widely considered the resort's second-hardest test after Copperhead, and it has hosted LPGA and NCAA competition.

The only golf course in the Florida Keys, built on Stock Island next to the Keys' only other course-worthy acreage, giving it a near-monopoly on Keys golf.

Ultra-exclusive ~250-member club considered the home course of Tiger Woods and Greg Norman, with a membership roll that has included Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, and Rickie Fowler; hosted 'The Match: Champions for Charity' (Woods/Manning vs. Mickelson/Brady) in 2020.

A municipal course originally named LeJeune, renamed for city manager Melvin 'Mel' Reese in 1973; became the center of a high-profile fight over Inter Miami CF's stadium redevelopment plans and has since closed for that project.

Tampa's first private club, founded in 1916 and reshaped by Donald Ross in 1923; it later became the founding club of the LPGA and still hosts the Gasparilla Invitational and area Mid-Am events.

Formerly the public Belleview Biltmore Golf Club, bought by the Doyle family in 2017 and rebuilt by Beau Welling into an ultra-exclusive private club with Augusta-like conditioning. Hosts the LPGA's The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge (formerly the Pelican Women's Championship) and hosted Capital One's The Match (Woods/McIlroy vs. Thomas/Spieth, Dec 2022).

A private club near the TPC Sawgrass campus in Ponte Vedra Beach -- a distinct, older facility from the famous Stadium Course, despite the shared address.

Considered one of Ross's two masterpieces alongside Pinehurst No. 2; Ben Hogan spent 30 straight spring days practicing here every year to prepare for the Masters, and the club hosted the 2020 made-for-TV Seminole charity match.

The newest of Streamsong's three full 18-hole courses (2017); built for width and strategic angles with a caddie-forward culture (walking-only in winter, carts otherwise). The resort has since added The Chain short course (2024), with a fifth course, Bone Valley, due 2027.

Opened alongside Streamsong Red in 2012; slightly more restrained but no less dramatic use of the reclaimed phosphate-mine sand terrain.

Built on a reclaimed phosphate-mine site, giving central Florida genuine dune-and-sand-waste links terrain; opened simultaneously with Doak's Blue course in 2012.

A private community club course in the Tampa Palms master-planned neighborhood of north Tampa.

Semi-private Ron Garl design with over 100 feet of elevation change (rare for the area) and natural lakes affecting 11 holes; Golf Digest rated it 4.5 stars and named it a 'Best Places to Play' honoree for nine consecutive years.

A private club community course in the Fort Myers area of Southwest Florida.

Home of THE PLAYERS Championship; the par-3 17th 'Island Green' (an Alice Dye idea) is the most famous single hole in modern golf. Ben Crenshaw derided the 1982 debut as 'Star Wars golf'.

A private club course in the South Florida suburb of Weston, listed in the GSPro library as its "Players" course variant.
