Tucked among the
oaks and pines along the shores of the historical lake, which has been
designated an outstanding inland Florida waterway, Shark's Tooth is a
challenging routing that is one with nature.
The vision for
Shark's Tooth began when Norman first walked this remarkable landscape. "It's
unusual in Florida to find such rolling land, particularly on a site as close to
the Gulf as this," Norman said. "This site, as much or more than any other we
have had to work with, allows us to follow my long-standing mandate of taking a
'minimalist' approach to the design. With the natural undulation of this
property, we moved very little earth, which is always an environmental benefit."
says Greg Norman.
Sharks Tooth Golf Club has already been awarded Signature Status by the Audubon
Society for its commitment to environmental excellence. This is an honor that it
will share with only five other golf courses in the state of Florida.
The course
stretches 7,209 yards from the back tees and features five fairways that border
Lake Powell, two holes that play toward the water and numerous wooden cart path
bridges that cross over protected wetlands and uplands
With dramatic views down Nos. 17 and 18, the 14,000 square-foot clubhouse will
provide members and their guests with a unique club environment, whether golfing
or dining. Golf memberships are available only to residents of Wild Heron. |
