Golf on site

Three championship courses, one resort

Dan Maples, Rees Jones and Willard Byrd each designed a course here. That is 54 holes and three distinct tests of golf without leaving the resort, plus a driving range and two clubhouses. Book your rounds with your villa and it is all one trip.

    Holes
    18
    Opened
    1990

    Generous, rolling fairways framed by bold mounding and deep bunkers, with water on eleven holes. Rees Jones gives you room off the tee and asks a real question on the approach.

    • Water in play on 11 holes
    • Wide landing areas, large undulating greens
    • Shares the Jones and Byrd clubhouse
  3. 03The thinking one

    The Byrd Course

    Tight, tree lined and strategic, with lakes guarding fairways and greens. Willard Byrd made every tee shot a decision, so the player who picks the right club wins here.

    • Lakes guard the fairways and greens
    • Shares the Jones and Byrd clubhouse

    Place was exactly as the pictures showed, four bedrooms each with their own en-suite made it awesome! The host was super responsive, had two small things and the maintenance man was there quickly. We stayed after season so it was a good price, and only one block from the beach and like 10 min drive from the airport made everything nice and easy.

    The staff (especially the morning crew) were exceptional. Little disappointed about the fruit chiller, hence the lack of fruit. Once again the Sawmill Townhouses were excellent. Golf courses (Jones & Byrd) were in great shape. Looks like the neighborhood is growing with all the new construction, sometime the parking was a bit burdensome at the clubhouse with the orange cones. Overall it was a good golf event...

    Place was as listed. Close walk to the beach and close to town with lots of things to do! Had everything we needed!

    The property itself was great; although the floors were dirty as shown on my kids feet when they didn’t keep their slippers on. The view was excellent and the size of the unit was great for a large group. But be warned that there are only two parking spots available for the unit; so if you’re coming with multiple people/families, make prior arrangements for parking. Overall, I would definitely stay there again!

    Only complaint is that the TV in the living room was only 32 inches and two small! Have used your services for the past several years! Always very responsive.
