Innisbrook Golf Resort

Featuring four championship golf courses, the Innisbrook golf resort in Florida is a golfer’s paradise. Not only is the golf excellent here, but the rolling hills and tranquil lakes make it the perfect setting for teeing off any time of year.

Located between Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs, the resort is just a short drive northwest of Tampa, delivering a warm climate and the opportunity to experience everything this Gulf of Mexico haven has to offer. Make the most of your Florida golf vacation with a visit to Clearwater or try a spot of fishing on the Gulf.

The Innisbrook golf course that every golfer wants to play is the Copperhead golf course. This world-renowned course hosts the PGA Tour’s Valspar Championship and is a firm favorite amongst the professional golfing community.

Copperhead golf course rates vary between different Innisbrook golf packages, but you can also visit this course on an Orlando golf tour. Once you’ve completed the Copperhead challenge, try your hand at the Island Course, North Course, or South Course.

Copperhead may be the course that puts Innisbrook on the PGA Tour map, but one of the resort’s biggest strengths is that the golf doesn’t begin and end there. Set over 900 acres near Florida’s Gulf Coast, Innisbrook Golf Resort offers 63 holes across four Larry Packard-designed courses.

Copperhead provides the famous PGA Tour challenge, while Island, South and North each introduce something different to the trip.

That variety makes Innisbrook particularly well suited to golfers who want to settle into one resort without playing the same style of golf every day. There is no need to change accommodations or build lengthy transfers into the itinerary simply to find another course.

Instead, a few nights at Innisbrook can include a PGA Tour venue, demanding tree-lined golf, a more open links-style experience and a shorter nine-hole option – all within the same resort. For a buddies’ trip or short Florida golf vacation, that simplicity can be just as valuable as the quality of the golf itself.

If it’s your first visit, Copperhead is difficult to leave off the itinerary. Its PGA Tour pedigree and distinctive terrain make it the obvious bucket-list round. But the Island Course deserves more than being treated as the supporting act. Innisbrook itself considers it comparable in difficulty to Copperhead, so golfers looking for two substantial championship tests should consider playing both.

South makes sense when you want to change the rhythm of the trip. Its more open, links-inspired appearance and shorter overall yardage provide contrast after the tighter corridors of Copperhead and Island.

North can then work particularly well when 18 more holes aren’t what the group needs. A nine-hole round leaves more time for the resort, practice facilities or simply recovering before tackling one of the championship courses again.

The advantage of staying at Innisbrook is having enough variety to shape the golf around the group rather than building the entire trip around one course.

The Innisbrook Resort itself is home to almost everything you need for a great golf trip, however, if you enjoy exploring new places and getting the absolute most out of your break, there are several attractions nearby that will add a different element to your vacation.

Innisbrook is a short drive from Tampa, which is renowned for its cultural amenities from museums and art centers, as well as Florida’s Aquarium, where you can see a variety of sea life. An even shorter drive from Innisbrook is the city of Clearwater, which is home to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, famous for rescuing and rehabilitating injured mammals. Sports fans can enjoy a hub of major league action, with NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, MLB’s Tampa Bay Rays, and NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning all based in the area.

The Premier Golf Innisbrook golf package demonstrates how naturally the resort lends itself to a multi-round stay, combining three nights with four rounds across the resort’s courses. For golfers planning their own trip, the important consideration isn’t simply how many rounds can fit into the stay, but how those rounds work together.

A first round on South can provide a gentler introduction before taking on Island and Copperhead. More experienced groups may prefer to prioritize the two championship tests or play Copperhead more than once. North can also provide flexibility when arrival or departure times make another full round impractical.

Course maintenance and tournament schedules should be considered when choosing dates, as individual layouts may periodically close while the rest of the resort remains available.

Premier Golf can tailor Innisbrook golf packages around the group’s preferred courses, travel dates and wider Florida itinerary, whether Innisbrook is the focus of the vacation or one stop within a longer golf trip.
