Nicklaus Course @ Reunion Resort

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is the Nicklaus Course at Reunion, really?

This isn't your typical resort walk in the park; Nicklaus definitely left his signature here with strategic bunkering and demanding approaches. You'll need to think your way around, especially on the back nine, but it's a fair test that rewards good shots.

What's the standout feature or a must-see hole on the Nicklaus Course?

The par-3 16th is a real stunner, playing over water to a green framed by palms - it's as picturesque as it is intimidating. You'll find the course weaves through natural wetlands and mature oaks, giving it a distinct Florida feel that sets it apart from some of the more open resort designs.

When's the best time to play the Nicklaus Course for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We recommend visiting in late fall or early spring, typically October-November or March-April, for comfortable temperatures and prime course conditions. You'll avoid the peak summer heat and humidity, plus the busiest tourist seasons, making for a much more enjoyable round.

Is the Nicklaus Course worth the green fee compared to the other Reunion courses?

Absolutely, if you appreciate a strategic layout that demands precision over brute force, it's a fantastic value. While the Palmer and Watson courses offer different challenges, the Nicklaus provides a unique, classic design experience that feels distinct and well-maintained for the price point.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face on the Nicklaus Course greens?

The greens here are often large and undulating, demanding precise iron play to avoid tricky two-putts or even three-putts. You'll want to pay close attention to pin positions and the subtle breaks, as they can be deceptively fast, especially in drier conditions.
