Experience the Salamander Golf Collection

Salamander Hotels & Resorts

Three of Florida's grandest golf resorts have united under the management of Salamander Hotels & Resorts to form the Salamander Golf Collection. The collection includes Innisbrook Resort in Tampa Bay, the AAA Four Diamond-rated Reunion Resort in Orlando, and the AAA Four Diamond Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast. Salamander's owner and CEO, Sheila C. Johnson, has an eye for the details that ensures guests will have exceptional service and memorable experiences.  

The Salamander Golf Collection offers 162 holes of golf, known as the Legends of Golf Trail, designed by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Larry Packard. Each of these playing and architectural legends has fashioned a total of nine Signature Designs from the Gulf to the Atlantic – including PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and LPGA Tour event venues, as well as some of Florida's highest rated courses. The Salamander Golf Collection also features the world's only resort-based ANNIKA Academy, an innovative teaching facility designed and developed by Annika Sorenstam.

In addition to its stellar group of courses, the Salamander Golf Collection features a combined 1,200 spacious suite accommodations that include beautifully appointed living and dining areas, fully equipped kitchens, large balconies, and multiple floor plans. There is also 200,000 square feet of meeting and function space, 25 swimming pools featuring slides and lazy rivers, 17 tennis courts, 16 restaurants, three spas and numerous nightlife options.

Located along two miles of spectacular Atlantic beach on Florida's Palm Coast, Hammock Beach Resort features 320 accommodations, including a 12-story tower of ocean view luxury suites, and an intimate 20-room lodge that features spectacular ocean and golf course views. Hammock Beach, which has been ranked on Travel + Leisure's 'World's Best Award' list as the top Florida resort in the Continental U.S., is famed for its two spectacular golf courses. The recently renovated Conservatory Course was designed by Tom Watson and is one of Florida's longest layouts. The Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course is one of Florida's highest rated courses and plays six holes directly along the Atlantic Ocean—more than any other course in the state. The resort also features countless amenities for families and groups, including a multi-level fantasy pool complex, indoor atrium pool, spa and fitness center, oceanfront meeting and function space, and numerous dining choices including the oceanfront Atlantic Grille restaurant.  

Celebrating 10 years of excellence and recently ranked by U.S. News among the top 10 hotels in the Orlando-Walt Disney World area, Reunion Resort features 330 accommodations, including luxury villas and deluxe vacation homes surrounded by 2,300 acres of lush landscape and nature preserve. Accommodations are highlighted by the 82-suite Reunion Grande, an 11-story hotel, replete with stunning lobby and bar, exquisite décor, elegantly appointed meeting space, and two restaurants – including the hip and award-winning Eleven, which features a rooftop pool and nightly views of the fireworks from nearby Walt Disney World. The resort is the only location in the United States with golf courses designed by golf greats Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson, and also features the exclusive ANNIKA Academy by Annika Sorenstam. Additional facilities include a boutique spa, multiple pools, slides, water playgrounds and a 1,000-foot lazy river.

Innisbrook Resort, situated on 900 wooded acres of rolling hills in the Tampa Bay area on Florida's Gulf Coast, is located just 25 minutes from Tampa International Airport.  The top-notch golf resort features four courses of championship golf designed by the legendary golf course architect Larry Packard, 600 spacious guest suites and rooms, four restaurants and three bars, the Innisbrook Golf Academy, 11 tennis courts, the new luxury Indaba Spa with 12 treatment rooms and state-of-the-art fitness center, six heated swimming pool complexes, a nature preserve, and three conference halls with 65,000 square feet of meeting space. The resort hosts the PGA TOUR's Valspar Championship at its famed Copperhead Course, and the LPGA-supported Legends Tour Open Championship, held annually at the equally challenging Island Course.   

Meet at Salamander's Golf Resort Collection

Hammock Beach Resort features 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space. Hammock Beach has traditional meeting space, such as ballrooms and executive boardrooms, but it's the resort's ancillary space that makes meetings unique. Some of Hammock's unique spaces include an oceanfront event lawn; event space at the Hammock Beach Yacht Harbor Village marina; and for a truly memorable meeting experience, a 117-foot luxury yacht the cruises the Intracoastal Waterway named the Sundancer.

Reunion is renowned for providing unforgettable gatherings and an ability to bring meeting attendees together. From lavish ballrooms to executive boardrooms and even a rooftop deck that includes views of EPCOT's nightly firework display, meeting and conference spaces are aplenty at the resort. Reunion is a mere six miles from Walt Disney World and near all of Central Florida's major attractions and outlet shopping centers.

Innisbrook Resort in Tampa Bay is a flexible meeting location that accommodate groups as small as 10 to groups as large as 1,000. The resort is unmatched in its ratio of conference space to sleeping rooms and boasts 100,000 square feet of meeting space, featuring one of the largest exhibit halls in Florida.
