The Golf Club at Bridgewater

The Golf Club at Bridgewater is an exciting resort-style golf course that opened in the spring of 2007 and is noted as "Florida's New Premier Links Course."  The course, spanning over 180-acres, has five sets of tees and the practice facility includes grass tees, target greens, practice bunkers and a dedicated chipping area and a large putting green.  Steve Smyers describes his course design at Bridgewater: "We've taken distressed wetlands and made them into 40 acres of pristine wetlands. The course will actually turn into a nature conservancy as well.  This is a perfect example of golf and nature coexisting.
