About

A round of golf at the Jack Nicklaus golf course created by one of the world’s greatest athletes, is bound to rank high on the list of any golfer. The name Nicklaus has long been associated with greatness on the golf course – but extends far beyond the man and his dominance as a legendary golfer. Today the name Nicklaus represents superior golf course design – the result of Jack’s more than four decades as a renowned golf course designer.
