It’s New, it’s Nice, and it’s NAPLES. Florida, that is. Naturally, it is beautiful at the least, magnificent at the most. The Eagle Lakes Golf Club has been taking southwest Florida by storm since it opened in 2006 and it seems like it has no immediate plans of stopping any moment soon. This is one golf vacation destination specifically designed for the low handicap golfer. But designer Gordon Lewis was too nice, he wanted the better players come play with their newbie buddies. So he placed five sets of tees on each hole and made it one for everyone.
The Eagle Lakes Golf Club measures close to 7000 yards from the longest tees, par 71. Like most every Florida golf course, water is an indispensable part. And by indispensable, it actually means water on every hole. All 18 of it has it making an appearance directly and indirectly; add to that the presence of bunkers and native vegetation paired with really quick greens – the result is a most fascinating concoction of golf features that will take any golf trip from simple to simply amazing. Or exhilarating. Or wonderful. Or all of that.
Much of the design of the golf club – layout and amenities both – are crafted with Olde Florida themes. But this is more apparent in the 
11,381 square-foot elegant clubhouse. That, the fully stocked pro shop and the perfect conditions of the course all year round make the Eagle Lakes Golf Club a most perfect place for a golf vacation. Perhaps the only thing Negative in this course are the neat scorecards; and maybe, just maybe, even when it’s gone from ‘New’ to ‘Old’, it will still be Nice. The nicest even.

The Black Course lists shorter in yardage, at 7,005 yards, par 72, from the longest tees but Norman made sure it never ran short on being exciting. And by exciting, he actually meant unforgiving and extremely demanding. Its fairways and landing areas are tight, and the water and sand hazards make it even tighter. The trees will make their own statement, too, somewhere along the way. This is one tough

a proof of its unparalleled beauty. But stopping at that feature is not giving justice to the totality of the work that designer Lee Trevino did here. The lakes along with a number of sand bunkers give as much grit to the course as it could get. Thankfully, though, the undulating fairways and the relatively flat greens make for easier recovery after an errant shot. Pretty much like the Flamingo, the Mustang is lined with many Florida pines and other native vegetation and could easily be said to be as beautiful. But what separates the two is the Mustang’s being forgiving, therefore less daunting and more inviting. Makes for enjoyable 
good use on an area this huge, incorporating a lot of the traditional Florida golf features. But him being himself, none of these “usual” features will ever register as ordinary to any golfer’s mind. The

Countless girls of all ages felt with Jamie Sullivan when Landon Carter took her to “two places at one time”. Countless golfers of all ages and handicaps, too, blushed at the thought of the Primm Valley Golf Club. It is located right in the patch of desert land dividing the states of Nevada and California, in Primm, where the best desert views are.

Just a little beyond the greens, a stately castle stands in sight as a clubhouse cum museum. Apart from a rugged, authentic isle pub, Stymie’s, serving traditions – from food to its antique effects. The rest of the clubhouse also houses memorabilias that further tell tales of golf’s colourful past. On top of it all, the golf shop at the
