A seven-year plus veteran of Troon Golf, Nicholas most recently held the position of director of golf at Lake of Isles in North Stonington, CT.

Carved from 280 acres of natural Osceola County wilderness, the front nine meanders through the community of Harmony and the back nine winds through acres of lakes, woods and conservation areas.
