High Grove, a new golf course in Venus, Florida, recently opened its first 18 holes.
The course, designed by Jim Wagner and Gil Hanse, features unusual heathland citrus terrain with more than 65 feet of elevation change. Holes wind through a working citrus grove, offering distinctive scenery and shotmaking challenges uncommon in the state. The first 18 holes opened in December, followed by a short course in March. The property sits equidistant from Naples and Jupiter.
Rodeo Dunes opened Thursday with a full 18-hole layout designed by Bill Coore. The course sits in the Colorado high plains roughly 30 minutes from Denver airport.
