Tiburón Golf Club, nestled within the affluent enclave of Naples, Florida, reflects Greg Norman's signature design ethos, a modern take on risk-reward golf tailored to championship play. The two courses, Gold and Black, are both known for their immaculate conditioning and challenging layouts. The Black course's wide fairways invite aggressive tee shots, while strategically placed bunkers and closely mown collection areas demand precision on approach to undulating greens. Its generous fairways don’t necessarily mean ease: favored by longer hitters and those comfortable shaping the ball, the course challenges with its bunkering schemes and the ever-present Naples winds.
Architect Greg Norman, known as the “Great White Shark,” crafted the Tiburón courses to harmonize with the natural Florida landscape. While avoiding overtly penal features, Norman subtly integrates native grasses and strategic mounding to frame holes and test strategic thinking. He has also updated the course several times to keep up with the times. A full service club, Tiburon is known as a great winter getaway for those in colder climates.
Home to the LPGA Tour's CME Group Tour Championship and the PGA Tour Champions' Chubb Classic, Tiburón has seen countless clutch performances under pressure. While perhaps not as storied as some of golf’s ancient grounds, the club provides ample challenge and quality for members and resort guests alike.
