Sunrise at Country Club at Mirasol

The Sunrise Course at the Country Club at Mirasol opened in 2000 as part of Tom Fazio's dual-course design for this private club in Palm Beach Gardens. Fazio routed both courses through gently rolling terrain unusual for South Florida, incorporating natural elevation changes and mature vegetation into a landscape that predates the typical flat, manufactured character of many regional layouts. The property's native pines, oaks, and palmettos frame holes that move through varied topography, with strategic bunkering and water features integrated into the design.

Fazio's work at Mirasol emphasizes playability across skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through green complexes that reward precision and thoughtful approach play. The Sunrise routing takes advantage of the site's natural contours, with holes that shift direction and present different visual perspectives throughout the round. Water comes into play on several holes, but the design relies more heavily on shaping, angles, and green-site defense than on forced carries.

The Country Club at Mirasol operates as a private equity club and has hosted professional events, including PGA Tour stops during the early 2000s. The club's dual-course setup, with both Sunrise and Sunset layouts designed by Fazio, provides members with variety within a single property. The courses share similar design philosophies but offer distinct routing and hole sequences, taking advantage of different portions of the site's topography and natural features.
