E. Lawrence "Larry" Packard
Why we love this place
We love Osprey as the easygoing heart of a golf-rich resort. Larry Packard's pine-lined corridors and gentle Florida movement make for a round you actually enjoy walking off, especially after testing yourself on Copperhead. It is friendly, scenic and welcoming, a reminder that great resort golf does not have to punish you.

About Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club - Osprey South
The Osprey Course is part of Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida, a heavily wooded property on Florida's Gulf Coast best known for its championship Copperhead Course. Like every layout at the resort, Osprey came from the drawing board of architect E. Lawrence "Larry" Packard, whose designs defined Innisbrook from its opening around 1970. Over the years the resort's holes were reorganized, and Osprey today is played as North and South nines that trace back to Innisbrook's earlier Sandpiper course. Gently rolling by Florida standards, with pine-framed fairways and a calm, natural setting, Osprey offers a more relaxed, resort-friendly round than the demanding Copperhead nearby. It suits members and vacationing golfers looking for an enjoyable test rather than a tournament grind, within a resort that has welcomed professional and amateur competition for decades.
