One of the games most prolific and innovative golf course architects, Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed Flamingo Island to emphasize the hallmarks of his architectural style. He implemented strategic deployment of water as a playing hazard and a scenic complement to the course as well as the use of multiple teeing areas with large, contoured greens. This combination of design elements combines to provide 18 holes of pure Robert Trent Jones, Sr. magic.

Extensive sculpting and shaping of the land characterize the course. Water is everywhere… beautiful, challenging, maddening water. Large greens and extensive tees offer choices for players of all abilities. The front and back nines are quite different in terrain and treatment, making the course a feast for the senses and a true test of skill. Perhaps the most dramatic scene is 5th Island Hole.

Completely surrounded by water, it is connected to the mainland by bridges to the tees and green. While immersed in and incredible beauty, it is a thinking player’s par three that requires concentration and strategy.
