LaPlaya Golf Club opened in January 2002 as a totally new 18-hole championship course lay out, artfully designed by Bob Cupp. The course is a 6,902 yard, par 72 golf course with five sets of tees to meet every golfer’s ability.
“LaPlaya definitely has a natural look, with lots of indigenous landscaping, rolling fairways and water features added to make it not only fun and challenging to play, but also pleasing to the eye.” -Bob Cupp
