If you like great golf, and lots of it, Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club outside Tampa offers the perfect foursome of championship courses in one setting. And you can play them all. The Copperhead course, a favorite among PGA Tour professionals and home to the annual Transitions Championship, is the course avid golfers come to collect. But ask Innisbrook members and they’ll tell you that they prefer the more challenging Island course. The Highlands North (similar to Copperhead, but shorter) and South (a links style design) courses round out the quartet. All of the courses take advantage of the elevation changes afforded by the Ocala sand ridge that gives the club its unique North Carolina foothills feel. This year a new fitness center and a full-service luxury spa are being added along side Copperhead as part of $25 million in property improvements.

Besides the great golf, what attracts guests most is the impeccable service at Innisbrook. Everyone is treated as if this is their country club away from home. Indeed, when you come here, you are a guest of a member and stay in a residential-style guest suite. The four-day/three-night Preferred Golf Package ($269 per person, double occupancy) that gets you onto all four courses is a popular way to experience Innisbrook. From October 2nd to January 14th, a complimentary fifth round of golf will be added to the package that includes breakfast, range balls, club storage, daily golf clinic and gift pack. Groups of nine or more even get a personal group golf concierge to handle all the details of their stay.
