 Greg
Norman turned the uninteresting 6,208-yard original white design into
a 7,171-yard visual stunner, which opened in 2000. Each fairway is framed
by palm trees and gorgeous white coquina sand, which also doubles as a
cart path.
This "desert-scape" design is considered to be a one-of-a-kind
in the southeast section of the country. As if it wasn't hard enough with
water in play on 14 holes, Norman also littered the course with 222 pot
bunkers, similar to the style he grew up playing in Australia.
The Great White was rated as the best new golf course of 2000, according
to the National Golf Foundation. It was designed to be environmentally
friendly with natural marshes and wetlands used as draining areas. It
has also hosted the 2000 Franklin Templeton Shoot-Out.
Because it's so difficult, players either love the Great White or hate
it.
