Package features luxury gulf coast vacation home accommodations, unlimited play at Camp Creek, Shark’s Tooth
(WATERSOUND, Fla.) – The WaterColor Inn and Resort – Northwest Florida’s only AAA Four Diamond rated hotel, located on the Gulf of Mexico – today announces an “Unlimited Golf Getaway Package,” including accommodations and unlimited golf at highly-ranked Camp Creek and Shark’s Tooth, starting at $165 per person per night.
The package features accommodations in the WaterColor Resort’s luxury Gulf Coast vacation homes equipped with flat screen televisions, full kitchens, and other amenities. It includes complimentary transportation to and from the courses and dinner for four one evening at WaterColor Inn & Resort’s chef-driven, fine dining restaurant, Fish Out of Water.
“The Unlimited Golf Getaway Package is ideal for discerning golfers in search of an exclusive, convenient, private resort-style experience,” says Mike Jansen, general manager of Camp Creek and Shark’s Tooth Golf Clubs. “The package becomes an even greater value during the summer when golfers are able to easily get in at least two rounds during the extended daylight hours.”
“The luxury vacation rentals are ideal for groups and families who want the conveniences and comforts of home, such as living room social space, full kitchens, patio and porches and washer/dryer,” adds Eric Sather, WaterColor Inn and Resort general manager. “Coupled with unlimited golf and dinner at Fish Out of Water, the package is an incredible summer value.”
Camp Creek, designed by Tom Fazio, is a “core” course hewn from the coastal dunes and native grasses of northwest Florida. Holes are framed by Fazio’s elaborate bunkering, and feature large, undulating green complexes – a Fazio trademark. Highly-rated by Golf Digest, Golfweek and GOLF Magazine, Camp Creek is a regular host of both U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur Qualifiers.
Routed along the shores and natural wetlands of scenic Lake Powell, Shark’s Tooth is a private, Greg Norman design ranked among the top ten courses in the state by Golf Digest. It is available for limited play by guests of the WaterColor Inn and Resort and is located 10 minutes from Camp Creek.
Rates for the “Unlimited Golf Getaway Package” are seasonal and based on quad occupancy. The package requires a minimum three-night stay.

About Camp Creek
Since opening in 2001, Camp Creek has been consistently cited as one of Tom Fazio’s most thought-provoking, aesthetically-stunning design credits. Featuring a unique “dunescape” appearance, the layout is framed by sand dunes and native grasses. From the back green tees, the course plays to a championship caliber yardage of 7,159 and a formidable slope rating of 152 (one of the highest in the state). Camp Creek’s five-tee configuration, which also includes gold (senior) and red (women’s) tees, accommodates players of all skill and experience levels. It is ranked among the top courses in the state by Golfweek, GOLF Magazine and Golf Digest. It has also been recognized for its environmental stewardship through designation as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System (ACSS). Superintendent Larry Livingston was similarly distinguished as a certified Audubon Steward. Camp Creek is operated by Troon Golf, the leader in upscale golf course-management.
About Shark’s Tooth
Designed by Greg Norman and voted the second best new private course by Golf Digest in 2002, Shark’s Tooth Golf Club was purchased by The St. Joe Company to bolster its high-end, golf course holdings. The course stretches to 7,204 yards from the back tees and features five fairways that border scenic Lake Powell, two holes that play toward the water and numerous wooden cart path bridges that cross over streams and estuaries. Tucked among the oaks and pines along the shores of the historic lake, which has been designated an Outstanding Florida Waterway, Shark’s Tooth is a challenging course that co-exists with its surroundings. Grass from the Greg Norman Turf Company was used on the fairways, approaches and rough. The course is a Silver Signature Sanctuary Course as accredited by the Audubon Signature Program and is operated by Troon Golf, the leader in upscale golf course-management.
