Golf Club of the Everglades Course Description
The Golf Club of the Everglades is a private, 18-hole championship course playing to a par 72 over 7,362 yards. Designed by Rees Jones and Greg Muirhead, it blends open links and tree-lined fairways. The course features sculpted bunkers, rolling contours, lakes, and native grasses. Renovations in 2015 improved drainage and overall turf quality. Conditions are consistently excellent with fast greens and firm, well-maintained fairways.
The championship tees rate 75.1 with a slope of 137, while back tees rate 72.9 with a slope of 133. Greens are bentgrass, and fairways use drought-tolerant bermudagrass. Signature holes include the scenic par-5 1st and the challenging, water-lined par-4 4th. The par-3 8th demands a precise carry over water. The par-5 18th offers a risk-reward finish with bunkers and water hazards.
