Leaving for Innisbrook today

[inthecup]

I am leaving on a 4 day trip to Innisbrook today.  We are playing Copperhead, the Island course twice and the North course.  To me it will be especially interesting because I have the Island course on my golf simulator.  I got it recently and have played it a bunch.  I have never played a course that I have played on the simulator.

I am very excited.  Probably setting myself up for disappointment.  At the end of last season I started scoring a lot better.  My ball striking improved, it showed itself in greens hit and proximity to the hole.  I finally became more connected.  It limits my big misses and makes my distance control much better.  That good play has continued on the simulator.  I am hoping to throw up at least a couple good rounds.  We will see.

Has anyone done Innisbrook?

You'll be surprised at the number of hills for a Florida course. Very nice resort all around and the weather here the next 4 days looks perfect for golf. A little chilly in the morning but nice all afternoon. Enjoy!

Had a chance to do it 4 years ago during a trip to the Tampa area but got rained out. Went down and played Waterlefe down in Bradenton instead. Very nice 'resort' type, super manicured course. 

Hit 'em well! Always nice to catch a good break from the cold.

Thanks, I filled my travel humidor with some nice Rocky Patels for the trip.

I played in the Golf Channel end of year tournament here 2 years ago.  We played Copperhead, Island, North (and Fox Hollow off the Innisbrook facility).  I liked Copperhead the best.  It seemed like the course that was tough but fair.  Was cool playing the "snake pit."  I don't think it's as snaky as it reputation implies though.  Seems like the Island was my least favorite, really narrow and if you missed the fairway those scrubby trees kinda sucked up your ball. 

Had a blast though and really enjoyed the experience (even though it was some of my crappiest golf for the season).  Hope you have a great time too.
