Florida’s Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Which Is the host for the PNC Championship, is considered one of the best courses in Orlando.

Aside from the natural features, the course also has water, bunkers and beautifully groomed, subtly contoured greens. There are also several forced carries over ponds and natural areas, while sprawling sandy areas are not uncommon.
