Grenelefe Golf & Tennis Resort (South)

Overview: Grenelefe's South Course was an 18-hole resort layout in Haines City, Florida, designed around wide fairways, mounding, sand bunkers and water hazards. It is a former course: the resort's own 2022 newsletter states that South would not reopen, so this profile describes its documented history rather than presenting it as playable today.

History: Sources agree that Ron Garl was involved in the South Course design, with historical resort material also crediting PGA Tour player Andy Bean. Published records disagree on the opening year, citing 1977 and 1983, so that field remains blank; the course is recorded at par 71 and 6,869 yards from the longest tees.

Did You Know? The South Course was associated with Grenelefe's former resort complex and served as a host site for the final stage of PGA qualifying school before the golf operation was shut down.
