Innisbrook Resort general manager Mike Williams joins the show to discuss the Florida destination that features four courses – all designed by Larry Packard – including the daunting Copperhead Course that has been the annual home to the PGA Tour's Valspar Championship since 2000.

Innisbrook is located roughly 25 miles northwest of Tampa in Palm Harbor, along the Gulf of Mexico. The sprawling resort features more than 700 acres of golf and outdoor amenities amid a terrain that may be more reminiscent of the Carolina sandhills and Georgia foothills than typical Florida.
