Not your typical course. Feather Sound's championship par 72 layout is unburdened influences.
The golf course at Feather Sound is not your typical Florida design in more ways than one. With an open, airy, natural feel, there isn’t a place on the golf course where you feel enclosed on both sides by houses and condos, unlike almost every other course in the area. A very good test of golf, the dedicated golfer will appreciate the challenges that are offered in the well-guarded, elevated greens at Feather Sound. And by allowing the average player to swing away off the tee and offering plenty of options to every player, it’s a course that can challenge and be enjoyed by players of all skill levels.

Designed by Joe Lee and updated by Bob Cupp, the par 72 course at Feather Sound plays like one of the longest 6,900 yard courses you’ve ever played. You can swing away with your driver off the tee – you don’t feel cramped like you have to hit a lot of long irons and play target golf – but the main thing to playing well here is precision with your approach shots. And while there is a pretty significant amount of bunkers, the majority of those are greenside bunkers. There is some fairway bunkering, for example on hole number 2, where bunkering comes into play a bit on the right.

Most of the difficulty to be found at Feather Sound is around the Pinehurst-style elevated greens, the signature feature of our course. The challenge in playing well here is first in hitting these small, subtly contoured greens, and how you manage your short game once you’re around those greens as well. And with our new, TifEagle Bermuda greens, we are able to maintain very good pace on the greens, but at the same time they’re quite receptive.
