The
Golf Club at Champions
Circle exemplifies designer Jay Morrish's vision of
maximizing the land's natural features while minimizing drastic changes
to its topography. Nestled amoung the gently rolling hills of a
former
cattle ranch, Champions Circle will lead goflers through visually
striking
natural creeks, oak-lined fairways, distinctive rock outcroppings and
dramatic
changes in elevations.
Stretching 7150
yards, five
sets of tees allow each player to choose an appropriate distance and
level
of challenge. All players will be tested on the 11th hole, a lengthy
486
yard, par 4, playing to a narrow, elongated green guarded on one side
by
a waste bunker and a pond, while a large white Floridian sand bunker
guards
the right side of the green. Protected by trees and water, the two
shortest
“drivable” par 4’s of 320 yards or less are equally challenging. The
creeks are the dominant visual feature and figure prominently in the
design
and strategy of thirteen holes, along with several lakes and ponds. The
facility also offers a 10-1/2 acre practice facility with two putting
greens
and a chipping and short game area.
