The Burnt Pine Golf Club, a Rees Jones masterpiece, weaves through the natural beauty of this sun-kissed resort.

The Front Nine: Engage in Strategy Embark on the front nine, where the green canvas of fairways flanked by towering pines and strategically placed bunkers sets the tone for the day. Each hole offers its narrative, challenging golfers to think their way through a chess game against the course. Here, the game is not just played; it’s felt.
Dominance on the Back Nine: A Closer’s Paradise As you make the turn, the back nine greets you with even more vigor. The landscape shifts, and the true character of Burnt Pine reveals itself. You’ll grapple with risk-reward holes that skirt the edges of wetlands and marshes, demanding shots that flirt with the boundaries of boldness and prudence.

Again, the course is stunning, and greens are fast but not ridiculous. This is another one that is visually tight, and it is.. the pine trees come into play. They are closer than they appear. Water lurks around. If you get a chance to play it, don’t pass the opportunity.

The designer greens (Tifdwarf Grass) roll true, and each fairway (Bermuda Grass) presents a pristine path lined with natural sand barriers.
