Golfers should know that Innisbrook has not one, but four golf courses so you can always get a tee time.

The resorts famed Copperhead Course is home to the PGA Tour’s Valspar Championship in March. It is a PGA Tour course that you can play. Just a few years ago, Copperhead was renovated and as part of the renovation, the bunkers were redone, and the white-tour angle sand was added. That gave the golf course a look, that is eye-popping.

Innisbrook’s room renovations have given the resorts accommodations a fresh and modern look.

Not to be lost as part of it’s 50th year celebration, are the extensive room renovations across the resort.

The one-and-two bedroom condo style suites, have added new modern style interiors. This fresh new look, has now replaced what was considered an aging charm to the rooms of the resort.

Added to the resorts suites, is brand new furniture, flooring and furnishings. Need more, how about stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, cabinets, lighting, draperies and few more small touches that will catch your eye, and make you feel right at home in Innisbrook’s spacious rooms.

“Innisbrook has been a revered destination for golfers, families and conference groups for nearly 50 years, and the upgrades made to our accommodations have already received rave reviews,” said Managing Director Mike Williams. “These improvements are just another testament to our commitment on delivering a superior guest experience.”

The Innisbrook suites reside in the resorts low-rise lodge buildings, which have kept their exterior design, and continue to fit into the Innisbrook’s 900 wooded acres of Florida beauty and charm. The buildings do sit below tree-top level, to offer guests some seclusion and a relaxing stay while on property.
