Golf at The Nest

The Hurricane Course

What a great course this is for our members. It presents a number of challenges yet it is the easier of the courses at a Par 72. With seven tee boxes and the addition of our "Scoring Tees," anyone can find plenty of challenge, yet also a comfortable distance for an enjoyable round of golf. The tips are a respectable 6,743 yards (73.0/140) but most men play from the III tees at 6,031 yards (69.7/127). For our ladies, this is the shorter of the two courses. Play can be lengthened to the V tee which is 5,040 yards (69.9/120), but most of the ladies play from the VI tee box at 4,794 yards (68.5/116).

HOLE DESCRIPTION:

The Hurricane course starts with a 183-yard par-3 that drops in elevation, usually playing about 1 club less than the scorecard yardage. This green features a wide open front, receptive to all types of shots. The rear is guarded by a couple of bunkers, which really don’t come into play.

The Gator Course

This is our longest course at a Par 73 and 6,930 yards (73.7/130) from the tips. With five par 5's, length is more of a factor on the Gator course but only one hole, the par 3, 17th, is a forced carry over water. The course features seven sets of tees boxes, plus the addition of our "Scoring Tees" allows golfers to match their skill level. The majority of men play the III tees at 6,149 yards (70.5/123). While this course is 187 yards longer than the Hurricane course for the ladies - 5,275 yards (71.2/120), it does not force any shots over water or marsh from the tees boxes.

Hole #1
  • Par 4

  • I.378
  • II.347

  • IV.314

  • VI.278
HOLE DESCRIPTION:

The 378-yard par-4 first is a great starting hole! This short par-4 is one of the best dog legs on the golf course. A good drive is a must, as the fairway is flanked by water on the right and heavy vegetation left. After a good drive you’ll be left with just a wedge for the approach to this small and tricky green. Any slight miss right will roll down the hill, into the water.

Practice and instruction
are encouraged at The Nest

Our practice facilities are equipped with a 36-station full practice range with multiple targets. The range includes several target greens and flags throughout the area. We have real grass as well as Turfhound artificial teeing areas. Turfhound is the premiere product in the market and best performance like real grass.

We provide a 4,000 square foot practice putting green as well as a half-acre short range complete with a large greenside practice bunker. Members and guests can practice uphill shots, downhill shots, shots from tight lies as well as the rough.

The practice facilities are open all day every day that the golf club is open except for one hour per week. The Club encourages practice and instruction and to do that we have not only the facilities but a full staff of PGA Golf Professionals for instruction.

Director of Instruction, Jim Sowerwine has a storied history of instruction experience with some of the most well-known instructors in the industry. Today he directs the instructional program at THE NEST.

All staff members participate in instruction and come with a wide variety and approach to instruction. The golf calendar is loaded with instructional opportunities, from individual lessons to group lessons; from basic clinics to clinics with a special twist; from advanced techniques to half-day golf schools for the more serious golfer. Playing lessons and on-course instruction is also available.

We believe that you should enjoy this game as much as possible. For most, enjoying the game more requires a little professional support as well as the facilities to improve. THE NEST supplies them both!
