Raptor Bay, Bonita Sprints, Florida
 WCI,
in a partnership with Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, sought the expertise
of golf legend Raymond Floyd to design 27 golf holes and make history,
as Raptor Bay becomes the first resort course in the world to receive
Audubon International's Gold Signature Certification. The first
18 holes opened for play in September 2001 and feature multiple
tee locations, so the course can play from a variety of lengths
and angles. Fairways are very wide and feature one height of cut
throughout the course. Unique to Raptor Bay is the use of native
sand and palmetto areas, which are incorporated into the design
of waste areas. The course is devoid of any sand bunkers; instead,
golfers will selectively encounter these sandy native areas adjacent
to greens and fairways. Surrounding the course are 22 acres of lakes
and more than 200 acres of native vegetation and nature preserve
areas, giving some lucky guests a chance to glimpse a bald eagle
or gopher tortoise.
