Overview
Loxahatchee was a course of its time when it opened in the 1980s. Jack Nicklaus studded it with sharp chocolate-drop mounding around greens and fairways that was all the rage as architects began fiffing on the shapes Pete Dye was building. That kind of thing soon went out of style and most of those features have since been removed from Loxahatchee. What's left behind is less dated but nevertheless a quintessentially Florida 1980's-style penal design with 14 holes that have water in play, including the possibility of rinsing your ball hitting into at least 11 greens.
