Valspar Championship course guide

The Copperhead course at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, Florida is a par-71 that measures 7,340 yards, with nine par-fours, four par-fives and five par-threes to negotiate.

Known for its narrow fairways and challenging greens, this is not a layout that can be overpowered and is one that demands precision from tee-to-green as well as fantastic course management.

Competitors must navigate the Snake Pit, the name given to the final three holes on the course, with a giant copper Snake statue placed near the 16th tee with a plaque underneath that reads 'the most difficult finishing holes on the PGA Tour'.

The 16th is a par-four that measures 463 yards, with water running almost all the way down the right side, and bogey or worse is made 25% of the time.

A par-three awaits at the 17th, with a narrow green surrounded by four bunkers, while the 18th is a 441-yard par-four that goes uphill and has bunkers down the right, while two more sand traps protect the green.
