TREASURE CAY GOLF COURSE

The Treasure Cay Golf Course was designed by Dick Wilson, one of America's most renowned course architects, with several classics consistently ranked in Golf Digest's top 100, the best known might be the Doral "Blue Monster" in Miami. Treasure Cay was among the last courses that Wilson designed but unfortunately he died before the course was finished in 1968. His assistant, Joe Lee, completed the work and went on himself to become a famous course architect.

The course is carved out of the woods on a generous tract of land so there is no interference from adjacent fairways. Measure 6985 yards from the blue tees and having 60 strategicallyFairway placed sand bunkers, it challenges even the best players. Natural terrain and undulations along with imaginative contouring provide subtilties which will make you want to play if more than once.

An excellent irrigation system is in place drawing water from two fresh water ponds on the property. The capable and friendly staff under superintendent Steve Pedican do a great job of keeping the course in top condition year round.

If you are a single looking for a game, just show up at 8:30 AM and pro Ronnie Bootle will fix you up. Tee times are not needed, in fact if you tee off after 10:30 AM, you may not see another group - your own private champoinship course. During the winter season tournaments are often held at 2-weekly intervals and guests are made most welcome, a reasonable and interesting way of meeting new people.
