Florida's Marion County, 85 miles northwest of Orlando, is home to some
200 horse farms, and its latest golf offering is a pure thoroughbred.
Architect John Sanford coaxed a classic parkland layout from gently rolling
terrain, and while there are a few bells and whistles—four waterfall
features and eye-catching waste bunkers dotted with shrubbery
and wire grass the course's strength lies in the variety of its
par-4s and the standout quartet of par-3s, two of which feature Daliesque
greens that seemingly melt into the water. Gallop over here
before it goes private sometime down the road.
