Golf Course

Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort
Palm Harbor, Florida
Par 71 (four par fives), 7,340 yards

Course Notes

Unlike traditional Florida courses, this is tree-lined and has elevation changes
Difficulty the last five years: 29th, 20th, 6th, 6th, 17th
Thick rough this week and 25+ MPH gusts expected Friday through Sunday
Very narrow off the tee (fairways are 24 yards wide on average)
Very few drivers need to be hit on this course outside of the par fives
Water is in play on nine of the 18 holes
Small (5,800 square feet) bermudagrass greens
The ‘Snake Pit’ (holes 16 through 18) provides an exciting finish

What I’m Looking For

Solid all-around
Good long iron players
Good scramblers
Bermuda putters
Bogey avoidance
