Sebring International Golf Resort

The 12 at Sebring International Golf Resort occupies a distinctive position in central Florida golf, designed by Frank Duane as part of a larger resort complex in the Sebring area. The course takes its name from its connection to the famous Sebring International Raceway, home to the historic 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race, and reflects the motorsports heritage that defines this region of Highlands County. The layout navigates rolling Florida terrain that offers more elevation change than typical for the state, with fairways carved through native vegetation and strategic water features that come into play on several holes. Duane's design emphasizes playability for resort guests while incorporating enough challenge to engage accomplished players, with multiple tee boxes allowing various yardages and angles of approach. The routing takes advantage of the natural landscape, with holes framed by mature trees and native grasses characteristic of central Florida's interior. Sebring International Golf Resort serves primarily as a destination for visitors drawn to the area's motorsports events and recreational opportunities around nearby Lake Jackson and other Highland Lakes. The facility caters to a mix of tournament groups, racing enthusiasts visiting during major events at the adjacent raceway, and seasonal residents. The course provides a golf complement to the resort's broader hospitality offerings in a region known more for its racing tradition than its golf pedigree.
