MIDDLEBURG, Va.
Salamander Hotels & Resorts, the luxury hotel management company founded by Sheila C. Johnson, unveiled its new Salamander Golf Collection, featuring a “Perfect 10” lineup.
With designs by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Larry Packard, Salamander’s 180 holes span the states of Virginia and Florida, where the company is the state’s largest independent golf course operator.
“This is of the finest collections of courses in the country, but we have also taken care to create opportunities for golfers of all skill levels to just ‘get out and play all 10,’” said Johnson, Salamander’s Founder and CEO, and an executive committee member of the United States Golf Association.
In Virginia, Salamander has just added an exclusive new golf experience for guests at its luxurious Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Va., enabling them to play the nearby private Creighton Farms Golf Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus. In the Sunshine State, the Collection includes Innisbrook Resort in Tampa Bay, where Jordan Spieth’s magical year began in March with a win at the Valspar Championship.
In November, Innisbrook’s highly acclaimed Copperhead Course, a PGA TOUR site over two decades, will re-open after a six-month restorative enhancement.
The “Perfect 10” also features Reunion Resort in Orlando (Palmer, Watson and Nicklaus), and Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast (Ocean and Conservatory). A fourth Salamander Florida resort, Henderson Beach Resort in Destin, is scheduled to open in summer 2016 with several golf packages for its guests.
