The Independence Course by Tom WatsonThe Independence™ – designed by Tom Watson, the 7,257 yard, par 72 Independence Course features a link-style layout that’s a mixture of undulating dunes and fairways surrounded by a variety of native grasses, flora and other natural boundaries.  Each hole includes five sets of tees, giving you the choice to play the short game.  Additional course features include large greens and creatively placed bunkers that add to challenge.

The Tradition Course by Jack NicklausThe Tradition™ – designed by Jack Nicklaus, the 7,300 yard par 72 Tradition Course presents a  beautiful, flowing Parkland-style layout.  Its narrow, tree-lined fairways can get tricky and the plentiful water hazards will test your limits.  This course also includes five sets of tees at each hole – plus elevated greens and tee boxes.

Beyond the courses, learn how to play your best game ever at The ANNIKA Academy™ – Reunion Resort’s state-of-the-art golf training facility by pro Annika Sorenstam where you’ll learn her unique golfing approach from personal swing coach Henri Reis and personal trainer Kai Fusser.
