Detailed description of Ponce De Leon Golf & Conference Resort, Eighteen, CLOSED 2005

Ponce De Leon Golf & Conference Resort, The Eighteen hole course opened for play in 1916. The course was designed by Donald Ross. The course has been redesigned several times over the years, most recently by Joe Lee in 1991.

The Eighteen Hole Course has views of the Intracoastal Waterway along with the many marshes of the area. The course provides a challenging layout, along with some of Florida's most beautiful scenery. The breezy links-style front nine allows golfers a panoramic view the marshlands and sailboats traveling the Intracoastal Waterway. The back nine has a different look with the fairways lined with rows of live oak trees and draped with Spanish moss. The course follows the natural contour of the land, somewhat rolling, with the fairways turning in tune to the natural tree lines. Most of the bunkers are near the greens. There is water that comes into play on at least fourteen holes.

This traditional par 72 championship course was a regular stop for the professional tour in the 1930's and 1940's.
