The centerpiece of Tampa Palms' golf program is our certified Audubon Sanctuary course designed by the legendary Arthur Hills. Routed through a beautiful wetland which is home to native-Florida plants such as pine and palmetto flats, this scenic and challenging track is a very stern test of golf. You’ll play around magnificent laurel oaks and through the wilderness preserve areas with beautiful views of the water – and the continuous loop course doesn't bring you back to the clubhouse till after the 18th hole.
