The signature hole on this course is #14, a 135-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot over water to an undulating green that is protected by sand bunkers and a retaining wall.

IGCC is an unpretentious small town course with surprisingly difficult challenges. Houses line the perimeter of the golf course but there are none on the interior. Oak, Pine, Maple, Cedar, and Palm trees are scattered throughout the course that penalize an errant shot. A single skinny Sabal palm on the fifth fairway seems to be easily negotiated, yet plays havoc with the mind on your second shot into this long par five!
It is easy to take this course for granted until you place your ball on the wrong side of the fairway or come up a half a club short on a deceptively elevated green. The fairways are kept in good shape. The greens are well manicured, they will hold a long iron and putt true if you read them carefully. This undiscovered gem is rarely busy so you can get around in as little as three hours if you're in a hurry or a leisurely four hours if not.
The local membership includes year-round retirees, snowbirds from the East and Midwest, and even a few Europeans who appreciate the good value offered on both the golf course and in the clubhouse.
