Overview

Shark's Tooth fits nicely into the oeuvre of Greg Norman's Florida work. Located on the banks of Lake Powell just west of Panama City Beach and east of Highway 30A with five holes that play along the marshy shore, the design features the Shark's trademark wall-to-wall fairway cut, bright white bunkers the jut into the line of play, crushed coquina shell transition areas and slick-shouldered greens that fade into close-cropped chipping swales.

“Several very interesting hole designs including an excellent Redan on the back nine. Although it's part of a development, there's very little residential intrusion. Very firm mostly push-up greens require some thought and make the course difficult for high handicappers."

“Private unless you stay at Watersound Resort. Flat with lots of water but only requires carry on few holes. Mostly wooded with tree lined fairways. Three holes on water with views of Hwy 98 bridge and high rises on PCB. Condition good with difficult greens. Worth playing if you can get access."

“Greg Norman loved fairway bunkers, and it shows on his design at Sharks Tooth. Lots of big fairway bunkers, and well designed green complexes test accuracy throughout your round. If you get the chance to play this course, it's time well spent. Holes playing along the shores of Powell Lake are outstanding, as you would expect, but some of the best holes are those playing through the trees across the peninsula."
