This event is ranked by GJGR – Global Junior Golf Rankings and iWanamaker

 

It’s always a great pleasure to return to Harbor Hills Country Club with our group of junior players.

Harbor Hills was the recent host venue for the PGA Tour (LatinoAmerica) LOCALiQ competition where 144 professionals battled it out for a place in the final season event in The Bahamas. This year Harbor Hills are delighted to also be hosting several FSGA Junior events (Florida Junior Tour – FJT)

Our event, ranked by GJGR, will give players an opportunity to test yourself in challenging competition play over this great championship layout.

Head Professional Tom Leimberger and the team at Harbor Hills CC work extremely hard to support junior golf in our community and they always provide a fine welcome to our Tour. Harbor Hills is deceptively challenging and it always proves tough for most of the field to post their lowest numbers. Lots of elevation changes and usually a firm breeze contribute to that!

Harbor Hills has provided us with quite a few great moments, fine individual performances and some wonderfully competitive junior golf. You really don’t want to miss out on this one and we advise you register as early as you can!

Course Information :El Campeón 

Watch this amazing video to get a true feel for this incredible venue.View the El Campeón flyover here!

Sublimely challenging. Frustratingly addictive.

Surrounded by an abundance of natural Florida beauty, the El Campeón 18-hole championship course was designed by Chicago-based course architect, George O’Neil and built in 1917 – with further enhancements in 1926 by Charles E. Clarke of Troon, Scotland.

El Campeón is one of the South’s oldest golf courses and blends unusual Central Florida elevation changes of more than 85 feet with features of traditional golf design, including spectacular rolling fairways and undulating greens.

The course’s signature hole is the par 5, 17th hole – which features a long double dogleg that has more obstacles than some entire courses! Play a Top 25 U.S. course on GolfAdvisor – El Campeón (#9) – 2016.

Las Colinas

Consistently named one of the “Best Places to Play” and receiving a “4-Star” rating, Mission Inn Resort & Club – Las Colinas in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida, is one of the best resort courses in the country. Designed by former PGA Tour player Gary Koch, Las Colinas is an island links style course with open fairways and large, undulating greens. Presenting golfers with a different challenge than El Campeon, Las Colinas, meaning “the hills,” takes from its name with gentle rolling hills throughout the course. The signature par 5, 12th hole is called “Alligator Alley,” for its tree-lined fairways requiring supreme accuracy from tee to green. Las Colinas doesn’t pack as much punch as the El Campeon but still provides golfers with championship golf and exquisite views.
