Charlotte Harbor National Golf Course, previously named Bobcat Trail Golf & Country Club, is a Semi-Private, 18 hole golf course located in North Port, Florida.
The course first opened for play in 1998. The course was designed by 2003 Canadian Open Champion and former PGA Champion Bob Tway and golf course architect Lee Singletary, "The Cat" is the epitome of "risk-reward" golf. The keys to scoring at "The Cat" are well-placed drives on the wide, rolling fairways; accurate irons to the roper "shelf"; and imagination and steady nerves on and around the large, undulating, well-bunkered greens.
Water comes into play in some shape or form on all but two holes. Most water is located along the perimeters, but there is some H2O situated perilously close to landing zones or greenside.
