The Osprey Ridge Golf course is a challenge to golfers, starting at the first tee and continuing through the beautiful tropical landscape. Tom Fazio designed a contrasting extra-long links style golf course which is very different from its counterpart, Eagle Pines. Osprey Ridge features dramatically elevated greens and tees, nine water holes, and more than 70 bunkers placed strategically throughout the course. Rolling fairways cut through the local forests of scrub oaks, pine, palmetto, cypress, and bay trees, while high mounds protect the medium to large greens. "Golf Digest" and "Places to Play," who rank the best public and resort golf courses in the U.S., have recognized Osprey Ridge as one of the best courses in Florida.
