The Villas of Grand Cypress, Orlando
The double greens, stone bridges and walls, gorse mounds, burns, and pot bunkers as deep as 12 feet might make you feel like you are playing ?>St. Andrews. But the beautiful weather will let you know you haven’t traveled any farther than Orlando. This year is the 20th anniversary of the New Course at The Villas of Grand Cypress, Jack Nicklaus’ tribute to the Old Course.

There are 45 holes in all at this AAA Four-Diamond luxury golf resort, all of them designed by Nicklaus (over the past two years he was back to renovate both the South and North courses). Located next door to Disney World, Grand Cypress’ elegantly appointed villas provide spectacular golf course views and offer private terraces, large-screen flat-panel televisions, a wet bar, and daily housekeeping with available turndown.

You can get your fill of the three Nicklaus courses with their current golf package that offers unlimited play for $195 per person, per night. The special includes all accommodations, taxes and fees, and is available until December 31, 2008.


Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club, Palm Harbor
Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club is renowned for its four championship golf courses, including the famed Copperhead course, home of the PGA Tour’s Transitions Championship each March. U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Paul Azinger calls Copperhead “the best course we play on Tour.”

In honor of their four courses, Innisbrook has created the “Perfect Foursome” golf package. From now until January 14th golfers will enjoy a three-night package that includes five rounds of golf including a round on Copperhead, spacious suite accommodations, full golfers’ breakfast daily and a golf gift pack. All for only $269 per person, per night. If you have a group of nine or more golfers, Innisbrook provides a personal golf concierge to handle all the details for your group.

For the big football fans out there, Tampa is hosting Super Bowl XLIII and Innisbrook has created a very special VIP Super Bowl Package. The four-night package includes seven rounds of golf, spacious suite accommodations, breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, and either transportation to and from the game or a Super Bowl Party at Innisbrook. The stars of professional football will also be playing at Innisbrook that week as the resort has been selected to host the official NFL Charities Golf Tournament and the Franco Harris Grid Iron Tournament.


Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, Ponte Vedra Beach
Located in the tony seaside community of Ponte Vedra Beach, 20 miles southeast of Jacksonville, the historic Ponte Vedra Inn & Club  has graciously welcomed three generations of resort guests. The Atlantic coastline serves as a dramatic backdrop for the AAA Five-Diamond resort's 250 luxurious rooms and suites, the vast majority of which enjoy breathtaking ocean views.

When it opened in 1928, The Inn & Club introduced the first golf course to the area. In December 2007, Bobby Weed fully restored and enhanced the Lagoon Course layout, adding both character and challenge. The $5 million restoration branded the Lagoon Course with its own unique identity while nicely complementing the Ocean Course.

Beyond the two championship golf courses, guests enjoy the beach, tennis, pools and oceanfront gym. Ponte Vedra’s spa, the region’s largest, features more than 100 pampering services. A variety of resort packages are offered year-round.
