Play one of America's Top 50 Golf Courses. As a golfer, 463 Troon Circle is your dream destination, even down to being named after the venerable Royal Troon Golf Club of Scotland, one of the world's most famous golf courses. We are situated on the prestigious Highlands Reserve 18-hole golf course, and within a 10 mile radius there are over a dozen other courses to play. Not to mention that we are based in Florida, one of the only spots in the world where you can golf all year round. Highlands Reserve
It was nominated as one of America's Top 50 Courses and has been awarded 3.5 Stars by Golf Digest's "Places to Play" guide. It has a decidedly Scottish feel and is unusual for Florida courses in that it has great natural sand traps (being built on a natural sand deposit) and excellent views as the course with the highest elevation in the area.
