2019 Sessions

Shotgun start at the fantastic Tranquilo Golf Course. Host to the LPGA Tour’s 2019 Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, Tranquilo is named to reflect the the Spanish Revival style of the Resort and pay homage to the Florida landscape. This Tom Fazio-designed course is a secluded, Certified Audubon Sanctuary, allowing you to connect with nature and truly escape.
