Sebring International Golf Resort

The Green Course at Sebring International Golf Resort is one of several layouts at this central Florida facility, designed by Frank Duane. Sebring, located in Highlands County roughly an hour south of Lakeland, sits in a region characterized by rolling terrain unusual for peninsular Florida, with citrus groves and numerous lakes defining the landscape. The resort property takes advantage of this natural topography, incorporating elevation changes and water features that provide variety across the routing. Frank Duane's design work in Florida during the latter decades of the twentieth century typically emphasized playability for resort guests while incorporating the native sandy soils and water management systems common to the state. The Green Course reflects this approach, offering a layout that accommodates a range of skill levels while presenting strategic decisions around the property's lakes and natural contours. The course serves primarily as a resort amenity, welcoming visitors to the Sebring area alongside local members. Sebring itself is known for its motorsports heritage—the Sebring International Raceway hosts endurance racing events—and the golf resort benefits from this regional draw, attracting travelers who combine racing weekends with rounds of golf. The Green Course, along with its companion layouts at the property, provides a straightforward central Florida golf experience shaped by the area's distinctive terrain and the practical design sensibilities of its era.
