The recent restoration work on the front 9 by Gil Hanse has brought back the historic green sizes and introduced much more dynamic putting surfaces and pin positions. The back 9 is as strong a routing as you will ever find anywhere…

Calusa Pines is a fantastic club! First thing we noticed was the clubhouse/locker room looking and feeling totally old school while the club is very new school. Presented a great vibe. Pro shop was stocked with all of the best brands colors and gear.

Conditions are mint. A very tough start (1-4) before getting slightly easier the rest of the way. A great set of green complexes, many are raised, making up and downs really tough.

Extremely well kept, very challenging, somewhat unreasonable ask around the greens with many chips being very hard to simply put on the green. Overall, it’s one of those great courses that’s super fun to see, but doesn’t reel you back in like some others

A really good course in the Orlando Area. It does have some aspects of a typical Florida course, but it’s in impeccable condition and does have some variety in the layout.

As much challenging as it is forgiving. Conditions are always pristine you wont see a blade of grass out of line. As most florida golf be prepared to lose balls in the water as it is all over the golf course.

Super funky golf course. Probably the least Florida golf course in all of Florida. Some holes are too hard but again, really fun.
