Overview

The Champions Course is the older of Palm Aire's two private 18-hole layouts, a Dick Wilson design from 1957 that stretches past 7,000 yards from the back tees. The member-owned club sits just north of the Sarasota-Manatee line and the course has since been renovated by Mike Benkusky.

Designer: Dick Wilson (renovated by Mike Benkusky)
Opened: 1957
Holes: 18
Forward tees: 4,666 yds

⏰ Best times to play: Florida heat and afternoon storms make early-morning rounds the most comfortable in summer; winter months are the club's busiest season.
