This 10-acre practice and instruction facility is available to guests prior to playing a round at the Island, North, or South courses, and it also serves as the primary practice spot for players without a tee time.

The main practice facility boasts 100% grass tees as well as putting, sand bunker, and chipping areas. And, as part of our service standard, our Golf Club Services staff will ensure that your clubs will be awaiting your arrival whether it is at the practice tee or on the first tee. Included in the resort fee, guests staying on-property receive a complimentary bucket of golf balls per person, per day at the Osprey Driving range.
