The Golf
Sandy cliffs and beaches lie alongside the mossy glens and legendary links of St. Andrews, where the game of golf was born. From your first glimpse of The Club at TwinEagles, you’ll sense the kinship of our grassy fairways and rolling dunes to the sport’s inspired Scottish homeland. Our Golf Club was designed to be a golfer’s paradise – not a theme park. The 47,000-square-foot clubhouse is a tribute to the Highland manors and features fieldstone, traditional rich woods and patterned fabrics. Just beyond its walls are TwinEagles’ two majestic championship courses, the only private club in Florida with courses designed by golf legends Jack Nicklaus, his son Jack Nicklaus II, renowned course architect Steve Smyers and design associate Patrick Andrews. Sharpen your skills at the short-game facility or take your game to a challenging new level at the Suttie Golf Academy with Dr. Jim Suttie, 2000 PGA National Teacher of the Year. Stay limber, focused and on target with every swing on the double-ended driving range. Everything you need to perfect your game you’ll find at TwinEagles.
Between rounds of play on its award-winning fairways, you can find relaxation, refreshment and recreation at The Club. Both formal and casual dining rooms serve delicious fare overlooking the course and provide wonderful settings to meet friends and family for private gatherings. The fitness center features the latest equipment as well as unbeatable views of The Talon and nearby lakes. Outside you can play a game, set or match night or day on the Har-Tru tennis courts. Whatever your interests or hobbies, you’ll find a menu of social activities and opportunities to make new friends who share your interests.
