GT Selects
| | Bay Hill Club
Orlando, FL
 Known the world over as the home of Arnold Palmer, Bay Hill has a down-home atmosphere combined with supreme golf course challenges. Three nines, designed by Dick Wilson and retouched by Ed Seay and Palmer, encompass the facility, two of which host the PGA Tour’s Bay Hill Invitational. One of the strongest, yet fairest, tests of golf anywhere.

| Grand Cypress Resort—New Course
Orlando, FL
 The New Course is a throwback to yesteryear, with replications of the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland. The course is replete with pot bunkers, stone walls and other idiosyncrasies normally reserved for courses across the pond. The Grand Cypress Resort is state-of-the-art, offering upscale accommodations for active travelers. Twenty-seven other stellar golf holes lie in wait, as well.

www.grandcypress.com | Jekyll Island—Pine Lakes
Jekyll Island, GA
 This true masterpiece meanders through ocean forests and undisturbed hammocks populated by migratory birds. The longest of the four Jekyll Island courses, Pine Lakes was completely renovated in 2002 by Clyde Johnson, who took what was a near perfection and added his vision and flavor making it the premier course on Jekyll Island.

www.kiawahresort.com | Kiawah Island Golf Resort—Osprey Point

 One of the true favorites on the island, Osprey Point is a visual masterpiece, carving its way through natural lakes, fingers of saltwater marsh and dense maritime forests of live oaks, pines, palmettos, and magnolias.

| Ocean Hammock Resort
Palm Coast. FL
 With the dramatic Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Hammock Golf Club as its foundation, the Ocean Hammock Resort is a golfer’s paradise overlooking the Atlantic. There are five courses total, one for every day of the workweek, yet each has a unique personality. Just look at the architect roster to see why: Nicklaus, Trevino, Lopez, Palmer and more. This kind of diversity makes Ocean Hammock the ideal “stay (for a long time) and play” destination. Ocean Hammock Golf Club was the first Oceanside golf course built in Florida since the 1920s when it made its debut in 2000.

Sea Island, GA
 Davis Love III, Sea Island's resident touring professional, brought to life his finest vision as a course architect, remaking the original Retreat Course. The result is challenging enough for a pro, yet comfortable enough for the casual player. A favorite with Sea Island regulars.
