Ranked in the top 100 courses in the U.S. by Golf Magazine This exceptional design by Dick Wilson has been known to be a little more difficult than the North Course. Although it is slightly shorter most people find the narrow fairways and the first five holes to be arduous. A narrow creek that winds through this course comes into play on 12 of the 18 holes. Finishing on the same 9 holes that the PGA Tour finishes on is a nice experience while at the same time a difficult one considering the PGA Tour nickname for the final 5 holes on the South Course is the "longest mile" on the PGA Tour.

THIS COURSE WILL BE CLOSED FROM MAY 1 - OCTOBER 31, 2013 FOR RENOVATION.
