Tiburon (Black)
Tiburón Golf Club (Black course): Tiburón enjoys two excellent and challenging golf courses laid out by Greg Norman. Some might regard the Black course as second-in-line to the Gold layout, but don't be fooled into thinking that it's any less challenging. In fact quite the opposite. The Black also lays down a stern test.
The early stretches of this out-and-back layout are routed through natural wetland forest. The par-4 second hole presents as tight a drive as you'll face anywhere in southern Florida - from the back tees a nerve-jangling experience. The tight opening (and closing) holes are complemented by a more open but no less forgiving middle section.
Although more open, the mid-section brings water firmly into the picture, with several small lakes and ponds threatening alongside the fairways and dangerously defending many of the large and subtly sloping greens. Beware the slick run-offs around the greens that can transport your ball away from the putting surface and into a variety of swales and hollows, or worse.
As on the Gold course, the fairways are firm and fast, generally quite tight, and not bordered by conventional rough. Where the fairways run out, water, coquina shell waste areas, steep-lipped bunkers and deep vegetation lie in wait. There is a more natural, but tighter feel to much of the excellently maintained Black course.

With two courses designed by Greg Norman (alias the Great White Shark), and a club logo that incorporates a shark's fin, it is no surprise to discover that "tiburón" is the Spanish word for shark. | Designated a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by Audubon International, Tiburón is dedicated to protecting and enhancing its natural surroundings.
Tiburon, and especially the Gold course, is no stranger to hosting top level tournament golf. Both the men's PGA Tour (The Shootout) and women's LPGA Tour (Tour Championship) have been regular visitors here. The Shootout is a PGA Tour sanctioned event founded by Greg Norman in 1989 for the benefit of children's charities. (See our Tournaments section >by Venue >Tiburon).

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
