Innisbrook A Salamander Golf & Spa Res

Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club

Innisbrook, a Salamander Golf and Spa Resort, is a true escape destination.

Located in Palm Harbor, near the Tampa / Clearwater area, Innisbrook's summer promotion includes a complimentary upgrade to your room category as well as a complimentary Continental breakfast. This special applies to the Innisbrook Classic Package for reservations booked before May 31 for travel completed by December 31, 2011.

Innisbrook, a Salamander Golf and Spa Resort, is a true escape destination that winds through 900 acres of pristine Florida flora and fauna with a thoughtful balance of minimalist architecture, rolling golf courses, as well as winding nature and bike trails. Innisbrook delivers an uncomplicated, yet elegant resort experience.

Beautifully renovated and enhanced by Salamander in 2009, guests enjoy a fine selection of restaurants, six different pools, a new 20,000-square-foot spa, salon and fitness center as well as an array of luxurious guestroom and suite accommodations. Children especially love Innisbrook's largest pool -- The Loch Ness Monster, with its water slides and scheduled activities. There is also a shuttle to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico beaches, located minutes away by car.

The outstanding collection of four distinct golfing experiences has long made Innisbrook a favorite of professionals and golf groups. The Copperhead Course is home to the annual PGA TOUR's Transitions Championship. It offers Innisbrook's most challenging golf experience, even for the most seasoned golfer. Defined by tree-lined fairways and rolling terrain, Copperhead tests players with its many uphill and downhill shots, significant elevation changes and a variety of water-protected approach shots.

The Island Course, with tight fairways, intimidating water hazards and abundant bunkers, has been newly renovated and lengthened. It is considered by many to be as challenging as Copperhead.

For a more relaxed golf experience, Innisbrook offers two equally beautiful championship courses with less complex designs. Similar in terrain to the Copperhead, the North Course is known for its beautiful par threes, tight fairways and an abundance of trees and well-bunkered greens. The South Course features a links-style approach, both in terms of rolling terrain and numerous fairway bunkering.
