southwest Lely Resort Golf and Country Club, Flamingo Island Naples One of Naples’ signature public courses, Flamingo Isle at Lely Resort Golf and Country Club was designed by famed architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr. in 1989. Prepare to be amazed at the signature fifth hole–an impressive 200 yard, par-3 that is surrounded by shimmering water and connected to the mainland by only two small bridges. Although hourglass fairways will force you to strategize throughout the round, large Bermuda greens will assist you in securing a desirable score. PAR: 72, YARDS: 7,095 Hidden hazards off the tee box are abundant throughout the course, so paying close attention to hole layouts beforehand will make a difference in your score. Pace of play is pleasantly maintained at Verandah, leaving you with plenty of time to enjoy the off-course practice facilities and amenities. PAR: 72, YARDS: 7,083 Lely Resort Golf and Country Club, Mustang Course Naples Beautifully maintained like the Flamingo Island course, the Mustang course has generous fairways, large greens and more opportunities to shoot low. Course designer Lee Trevino gave this course an exceptional balance of playability and fair challenges throughout the round. Twelve shimmering lakes give the Mustang course a sense of challenge and picturesque quality. PAR: 72, YARDS: 7,230 TPC Treviso Bay Naples TPC Treviso Bay has everything that you would expect from a TPC course and more. Designed by Arthur Hills, this course is beautifully maintained with extraordinary features including pristine fairways and tee boxes. Hills has thought of everything on this course, including distances to the front, middle and back of the green marked on each and every sprinkler head. Water on almost every hole makes for a challeng ing yet visually stimulating round. PAR: 72, YARDS: 7,367 Verandah Golf Club, Old Orange Course Fort Myers Designed by Bob Cupp in 2003, Old Orange at Verandah Golf Club is a classically structured course with beautifully maintained conditions. Much like its Gold Course counterpart, Tibur Ó n’s Black Course masters the art of blending a modern layout with Florida’s natural beauty and landscapes. High rough is nowhere to be found, but coquina-shelled waste bunkers are prevalent throughout. This dynamic course is a Greg Norman tour-style design. It's also home to the PGA TOUR’s Franklin Templeton Shootout and the LPGA’s CME Group Tour Championship. PAR: 72, YARDS: 6,949 Tibur ó n Golf Club, Black Course Naples FLASPORTS.COM/GOLF | 51
