This 18 hole championship course is situated on 200 acres of rolling terrain. Built in 1997 by the renowned Pete Dye, it has already been the host of various professional and amateur events. Lush Bermuda/Bluegrass fairways sweep through natural contours and elevations producing many breathtaking sights. Mr. Dye has strategically placed over 40 bunkers around the fairways and greens.
The bent grass greens of Peninsula have many undulations and swells, the challenge is not over until the last putt is holed. All the greens are surrounded by bent grass approaches and Dye’s famous “collection areas” for those wayward iron shots.
The championship tees, Playing almost 6700 yards, will provide even the scratch golfer with a most arduous task. The middle and front tees play 6100 and 5100 yards respectively. All players of every caliber will enjoy the Peninsula experience.
