Key Biscayne, FL

Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne occupies part of Crandon Park on a barrier island near Miami, surrounded by mangrove forests, saltwater lakes, and views toward Biscayne Bay. Robert von Hagge and Bruce Devlin designed the original course, which opened in 1972, with von Hagge returning for a redesign in 1993. The par-72 layout includes seven saltwater lakes and mangrove thickets, and is noted as the only course in North America built around a subtropical lagoon. Several holes overlook the bay, though mature shoreline trees screen much of the Miami skyline view for environmental reasons. The course is owned and operated by Miami-Dade County and open to the public. It hosted PGA Tour Champions events for many years and has undergone turf-reduction work in recent years aimed at lowering water use while preserving its tropical character.

Avon, CO

EagleVail Golf Club is a mountain course in the Vail Valley, just east of Avon, owned and run by the EagleVail Metropolitan District. It is short by mountain standards, around 6,600 yards from the tips, but the fairways are narrow and water, trees and slope are in play all day. The round opens with a par 5 that drops about 65 feet from tee to fairway. A stretch of the front nine crosses to the north side of Highway 6 along the Eagle River, and those greens tend to break toward the river. A creek runs the full left side of the par-4 6th. It is open to the public, and the season runs roughly May through October.

Tucson, AZ

The Catalina Course is one of two courses at Omni Tucson National Resort in Tucson, Arizona, laid out on former cotton-field land in the desert north of downtown. The course opened in 1961, designed by Robert Bruce Harris, and was substantially redesigned in 1983 by Robert von Hagge and Bruce Devlin. It hosted PGA Tour events for decades, including the Tucson Open beginning in 1965 and again from 1997 to 2006, as well as the 1966 U.S. Senior Amateur. Catalina plays as a traditional parkland-style layout with tree-lined fairways, multiple lakes and bunkering that tightens the driving areas, and it remains open to resort guests and the public.

The par-72 layout stretches to roughly 7,150 yards from the back tees with a slope in the low 140s. A greens conversion to Tif-Eagle Bermuda was completed in 2018.
