Innisbrook Resort is a premier Florida golf destination spread across 900 acres of rolling hills, tranquil lakes, and pine-lined fairways in Palm Harbor, just north of Tampa. It’s home to four championship courses designed by Larry Packard, including the legendary Copperhead, host of the PGA TOUR’s Valspar Championship. Think challenging layouts, stunning scenery, and that classic resort vibe with pools, spa, and endless activities.

Top Standout Courses

Copperhead Course

The star, host of the PGA TOUR’s Valspar Championship. Tree-lined, demanding ball-striking test with elevation changes and the famous “Snake Pit” finish (holes 16-18) where tournaments are won and lost. Over 7,200 yards of pure challenge and drama.

Island Course

Often called equally or more challenging than Copperhead, with tight fairways, intimidating water, bunkers everywhere, and huge elevation shifts. Ranked among top resort courses by Golf Digest; stunning finishing hole that’s one of Florida’s most photographed.

South Course

Classic parkland style with rolling hills, lakes, and strategic play — more forgiving than Copperhead/Island but still a solid test. Great for groups or building confidence before tackling the big ones.

North Course

Shorter and scenic at around 6,000 yards with interesting holes and beautiful views. Ideal for a relaxed round or family play while still feeling like championship golf.

Stay-and-Play Options

  • Innisbrook Resort on-site: Spacious rooms, suites, condos, multiple pools, Salamander Spa, restaurants (Packard’s Steakhouse a highlight), and direct course access
  • Classic package (one round per night) or Platinum package (up to 36 holes/day including Copperhead) include breakfast, merch credit, and unlimited practice

Pro Tips

  • Book stay-and-play packages early via innisbrookgolfresort.com or specialists including Copperhead upgrades
  • Fly into Tampa International (TPA), just 20-30 minutes away
  • Pair golf with Florida favorites: fresh seafood, Tampa craft beer scene, beaches, or the Valspar Championship in March
