The Third Golf Course

FL, United States

The Third Golf Course is an 18-hole championship course designed by Davis Love III, located within the Watersound Club in Inlet Beach, Florida, positioned north of the Shark's Tooth Golf Course. The course represents a blend of traditional and modern design philosophy, with Love III leveraging his extensive experience as both a professional golfer and golf course architect. The layout utilizes the existing topography of the surrounding landscape to create a naturally integrated design that respects the environment while presenting a challenging experience. The course features pristine greens, lush fairways, and natural landscapes characteristic of the coastal Florida setting. Difficulty is balanced across all skill levels through strategic design elements including bunkers, water hazards, and thoughtfully placed shot requirements that demand precision without overwhelming recreational players. The course maintains the architectural hallmark of modern championship design while remaining accessible to golfers of varying abilities. As a recent addition to Watersound Club's golf portfolio, The Third complements the existing courses and solidifies the club's reputation as a premier private golfing destination.
