Tiburón Golf Club - The Gold Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Tiburón Golf Club is home to two championship courses designed by Greg Norman. The two courses, the Black and the Gold, share similar characteristics but they each offer a different set of challenges. The Gold Course is slightly less demanding than the Black, the club's original layout, but that is not to say it'll be an easy round. Golfers will face a variety of hazards including towering pines and a combination of stacked sod wall bunkers and coquina waste areas. Water also comes into play on several holes. The golf course opens with a risk-reward par 5 that is nestled amongst tall trees. The hole flows to the right then bends back to the left, winding around a large lake. Long hitters may be tempted to go for the green in two, but beware because it's surrounded by trouble on all sides.

Tiburon Gold is just fun
I find this course to be incredibly comfortable to play, and I think it starts with the staff. If you are going to pay for Ritz service, you should get Ritz service and I think you do. The Gold course is challenging for me, but has plenty of forgiveness if you have just a bit of control of the ball. I'm a short hitter and the White Tees were perfect for me at 6200. The course was immaculate this day, and only the pace of play would be a criticism. A few of the holes are scenic, but lots of real estate on the course. Sydney's is not to be missed after.
Fantastic course
Great conditions. Very well kept. Pace of play was good. Would highly recommend if price isn’t a deterrent.
Late afternoon round
Had a great time with my son on this course - challenging and fair - 16 handicap and 7 handicap.
Greens a tiny bit slow, but true and a course the staff should be proud of.
Pricey - yes but it’s Tiburon and you need to cross this off your list
Awesome
Had a great afternoon of golf with a threesome pacer play was excellent we did have to let a twosome through but love the course highly recommend you play this course
World Class
Played the Gold Course in four hours. First class experience. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were outstanding. Arrive early to enjoy the practice facility.
Championship Layout, indeed
First time playing at Tib. Beautiful morning, course conditions immaculate. CME Globe and QBE coming soon so the grandstands and scoreboards were up. If you are willing to spend some serious coin for the private course experience in Naples, come to the Shark's paradise.
Worth every penny
As a young guy from Kentucky, courses like this are a real treat. On Vacation I decided to treat myself to a round at this beautiful course, and it was incredible. The course is very different than any I had played, There is very little rough on this course, it's either sand or fairway, which can be an advantage and disadvantage. The fairways were very well cut, which provided great roll of the tee, especially for long drivers. The greens are very challenging, hard to read, and fast. The setting and layout are beautiful, and knowing that you are following in the footsteps of the pros is another bonus. I don't know if I will ever be back, but it was certainly a round I will never forget.
Awesome
Had a great day they booked us with another two guys and it was a fantastic day
