Greg Norman

Naples, FL

The Gold Course at Tiburon in Naples, Florida, is a Greg Norman design that opened in 1998 at what is now the Ritz-Carlton golf resort. Norman built it without conventional rough, using coquina shell waste areas along the fairways instead. That choice defines play. A missed tee shot usually leaves a lie on crushed shell rather than in thick grass, so recovery is available but control is not, and the greens are firm with subtle rather than severe contour. It plays as a par 72. The course hosts the LPGA's CME Group Tour Championship and has hosted the mixed-team event played at the resort each December. It is open to resort guests and members.

Wolcott, CO

The Norman Course at Red Sky Golf Club in Wolcott, Colorado was designed by Greg Norman and opened June 30, 2003, as the second of the club's two courses alongside a Tom Fazio layout. Built by Landscapes Unlimited at roughly 7,880 feet elevation, the par-72 course plays 7,580 yards from the championship tees and features craggy rock outcroppings, scrub oak, gulches and wildflower meadows framed by views of Vail's Back Bowls and Castle Peak. Its bentgrass greens and bluegrass fairways were established through extensive sodding during construction.

Livermore, CA

The Course at Wente Vineyards is an 18-hole public course on the Wente family wine estate in Livermore Valley, about 50 minutes east of San Francisco. Designed by Greg Norman, it opened in July 1998. The par-72 layout measures 7,181 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of 74.7 and a slope of 144. The routing moves through native woods, vineyards and rolling grassland hills, with more than 200 feet of elevation change. The course is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary and sits next to the estate's tasting room and event center.

San Antonio, TX

The Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio, in the Cibolo Canyons area north of San Antonio, Texas, was designed by Greg Norman with player consultant Sergio Garcia and opened in 2010. The par-72 course plays 7,435 yards from the back tees with a 76.6 course rating and 145 slope, routed through Hill Country terrain and oak stands with about 100 feet of elevation change. Bunkering has a natural, minimalist look, and fairways mix narrow, tree-lined corridors with wider options. The course sits next to the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa.

Naples, FL

Tiburón Golf Club's Black Course is a resort course in Naples, Florida, associated with the Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón. It was designed by Greg Norman and plays to a par of 72 over 6,949 yards. The layout uses stacked sod wall bunkers, orange coquina shell waste areas, and pine-lined fairways instead of conventional rough, following Norman's approach of working with the existing terrain. It is a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. Tiburón is a resort course, accessible to hotel guests and outside players, and its two courses have hosted the PGA Tour Champions' Chubb Classic along with LPGA and PGA Tour events.

Leesburg, VA

The Greg Norman Course at Lansdowne Resort is located in Leesburg, Virginia, along the Potomac River, winding through mature hardwood forest and past rocky outcroppings, with two holes touching historic sites on the property. Greg Norman designed the course using his "Least Disturbance Approach," opening in 2005 as part of the resort's 45-hole golf offering alongside a Robert Trent Jones Jr. course and a nine-hole executive layout. A demanding four-hole stretch is nicknamed "the hardest mile in golf," and the par-4 first features island tees. The course operates as part of a resort managed by Troon Golf, open to resort guests and members, with multiple tee options for a range of skill levels.

La Quinta, CA

The Greg Norman Course at PGA West is an 18-hole, par-72 resort course in La Quinta, California, the only Greg Norman design in the Coachella Valley. It measures about 7,200 yards from the back tees. The layout sits in a former prehistoric ocean bed roughly 40 feet below sea level, surrounded by terra cotta mountains, with 102 white crushed-marble bunkers and water in play on nine holes. Native grasses and wildflowers line the fairways, which cover about 60 acres of turf.

Pooler, GA

Savannah Quarters Country Club is an 18-hole golf course in Pooler, Georgia, on the outskirts of Savannah. The course first opened in 2001 under the name The Woodyard at Westbrook, designed by architect Bob Cupp, before being closed for a year and reopened in 2006 as Savannah Quarters after a redesign led by Greg Norman. The layout runs through lowcountry terrain with lagoons, wetlands and stands of cypress and live oak, and Norman's changes softened hazards and added tee options and fewer forced carries. The par-3 15th plays to an island green in a lagoon. Savannah Quarters operates as a semi-private club with membership options for residents and nonresidents, alongside tennis courts, pools and a clubhouse restaurant. It measures roughly 7,016 yards from the championship tees at par 72.

Katy, TX

Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club sits on a former rice farm west of Houston in Katy, Texas, part of a planned residential community. The land is flat coastal prairie shaped into rolling fairways, with creeks, lakes, wetlands and stands of oak, pecan and sycamore trees framing the holes. The course is a Greg Norman design, one of only a few he built in Texas, and it opened as part of the Meadowbrook Farms development. Sod-wall bunkers with white sand, subtle green contours and native prairie grass roughs give the layout a distinct look compared to most Houston-area courses. Play is organized around member access with limited outside play, and the clubhouse sits above the ninth and eighteenth greens. Multiple tee options let the course play from roughly 5,000 to over 7,000 yards, and a practice center with a driving range and target greens supports instruction.

The 18-hole course opened in 2000, was designed by Greg Norman, and was remastered in 2016. The International plays as a links-style layout with rectangular tee boxes, sandy dunes and pot bunkers, giving it a hard, fast playing surface reminiscent of courses in the British Isles. It plays to a par of 72 and stretches to more than 7,300 yards from the back tees, with large greens from the restoration. The course operates as a resort facility tied to the Omni hotel, with tee times bookable through the resort. It shares the property with the National Course and the David Leadbetter Golf Academy.
