    Reunion Resort - Tradition Course

    Unlike the severe hills of the Legacy and Independence courses, this Parkland-style layout is smooth and flowing, with long horizon lines as well as elevated tee boxes and greens.

    The 7,255 yard Tradition course can be as deceptive as it is beautiful. Designed to tempt golfers into hitting risky shots with potentially big payoffs, The Tradition challenges the golfer to step up to the ball with a carefully organized series of shots in his or her mind.

    Designed by Jack Nicklaus and Jack Nicklaus II, The Tradition is the newest of the three courses at Ginn Reunion Resort. The two Jacks took advantage of naturally undulating terrain when designing this outstanding layout. The beautiful setting showcases water on nine holes and a variety of oaks, magnolias, maples, and palms.

    Reunion Golf Resort features 54 holes of championship golf.  The resort features the Reunion Resort Nicklaus Golf Course, Reunion Resort Palmer Golf Course and Reunion Resort Watson Golf Course.

    About Reunion Resort: In addition to the three championship golf courses, Reunion Resort features spacious accommodations, personalized concierge services, world-class dining, the Annika Golf Academy, a luxurious spa, tennis courts, 5 pools and a water park. At Ginn Reunion® Resort, taking care of our planet is every bit as important to as taking care of our members and guests. In fact, Reunion has been recognized by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Lodging Program.

    Reunion Resort - Independence Course

    Reunion Resort - Independence Course

    Highlighted by fast, firm and wide rolling fairways, a variety of strategically placed bunkers and large greens, the 7,257 yard, par 72 Independence Course is as much about strategy as it is about length.

    Demanding a well thought out approach from every player regardless of skill level, The Independence puts a premium on a solid short game with spacious green complexes where club selection can vary from putter to lob wedge to three-wood.

    • Golf Digest selected The Independence Course as #10 on their list of “America’s Best New Resort Courses” for 2005
    • Golf Magazine selected The Independence Course in the top 10 “Best new courses you can play”
    • GolfWeek selected The Independence as #4 on their list of “Florida’s Best Public Access Courses 2006,” #12 on their list of “America’s Top 40 New Courses 2005,” #38 on their list of “America’s Best Residential Golf Courses” and #29 on their list of “America’s Best Resort Courses”

    The Independence course was the first of the Ginn Reunion Resort courses to open and also Tom Watson’s first Signature design in Florida. The Independence offers a native appearance framed by numerous varieties of native grasses, azaleas, camellias, and other native foliage. While The Independence is certainly beautiful, it’s equally challenging. Watson’s thoughtful use of bunkers will make you think your way around.

    Reunion Golf Resort features 54 holes of championship golf.  The resort features the Reunion Resort Nicklaus Golf Course, Reunion Resort Palmer Golf Course and Reunion Resort Watson Golf Course.

    Reunion Resort - Legacy Course

    Innovatively routed on hilly, roller coaster-like terrain, Palmer’s 6,916 yard, par 72 Legacy Course boasts dramatic elevation changes creating a unique variety of risk/reward golf shots.

    That varied menu of shot-making opportunities is further ensured by six tee locations on each hole, a variety of natural preserve areas, generously wide fairways and strategically placed bunkers across all eighteen holes.

    • Golf Digest selected The Legacy Course as #21 on their list of “America’s Top 40 New Courses 2005”
    • GolfWeek named The Legacy as #12 on their list of “Florida’s Best Public Access Courses 2006”

    The course is routed over surprisingly undulating and hilly terrain. The natural flow of the land provides dramatic elevation changes and creates a number of “risk/reward” shots for the gutsy player. Much like Mr. Palmer himself, you can “go for broke” on numerous occasions.

    This is the course where Golf Hall of Fame legend, and local Orlando resident, Arnold Palmer won his first PGA Tour event. Mayfair challenges golfers with its strategic layout and the clever positioning of hazards such as greenside bunkers, water and trees. Mayfair is a great course for players of all abilities and skill levels; beginners and novice players will enjoy the shorter length, while the experienced player will be called on to use an array of skillful shots throughout the round.

    Designed by Donald Ross in the early 1920′s, Mayfair features an open layout that is perfect for novice players and experts alike. The challenge for golfers at Mayfair lie within the strategic layout and the clever positioning of hazards and trees. The fairways tend to be wider (typical of older course designs) however, the approaches are much less forgiving. Water comes into play on more than half of the 18 holes.

    Heathrow Country Club

    The 18-hole “Heathrow” course at the Heathrow Country Club facility in Heathrow, Florida features 6,900 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72 . The course rating is 73.8 and it has a slope rating of 131.  Designed by Ron Garl, the Heathrow golf course opened in 1985. James Upp manages the course as the General Manager.

    Featured Holes
    No. 7. Water is the key challenge on this par 4, the No. 1 handicap hole on the course. Your drive must clear the hazard, which borders the entire left of the fairway. You need length off the tee to shorten an approach shot that must also carry the hazard. Catch is, the longer your drive, the narrower the landing area becomes. The green slopes from the back toward the water in front.

    No. 17. This is a nice risk/reward par 4. From an elevated tee, big hitters can attempt to drive the green with a blind tee shot over the trees. The safer play is a fairway wood to the landing area protected by water. A middle-iron approach shot then must find an elevated, two-tier green.

    Other Highlights
    Heathrow has all the amenities of a full-service country club, and offers the full country club experience. With courts as far as the eye can see, tennis is a high-energy experience at Heathrow. The swimming complex includes a six-lane lap pool and lots of organized activities. A full-service fitness room has all the latest equipment.
    There are weekly dining and social events for members, and a modern clubhouse with banquet space.

    Membership
    Several special offers at different times of the year. Contact: Kay Maguire, membership director, for details
