When you were a child, it was about having the best sandbox or the perfect swing set. Today, you have higher expectations for your backyard playground. Fortunately, IMI’s resort and urban communities offer luxurious amenities and superior locations—complete with plenty to occupy your time and soothe your soul. Here is just a sample of the ways IMI clients can play:

Catch a big one: Hook up with blue marlin and barracuda for big-game fishing off the coast of Florida or cast a line for the freshwater variety at The Cliffs on magnificent Lake Keowee and Jocassee. Or fly-fish on the Weber and Provo rivers near Glenwild.

Play around: There’s no feeling quite like a center-cut drive down the perfectly striped fairway on a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. Or maybe you and your favorite foursome prefer to chip away at a course designed by Arnold Palmer? Or by one of the “Toms” (Fazio, Watson or Weiskopf)? Whatever your pleasure, IMI teams up with the legends of golf-course design to offer clients courses that are considered to be among the best of the best.

Get a soothing stone massage: Or skip the hot rocks and opt for a delicious-sounding Skin Revival Wrap, a Sun Lover’s treatment or a pampering paraffin pedicure. Interpretations of all three—and any number of other state-of-the-art spa therapies and wellness programs—are readily available within your IMI-represented community.

Saddle up: Opportunities to experience nature on the back of a horse are virtually endless in IMI’s world. Several communities have their own stables, where beginners and experienced riders alike can perfect both English and Western techniques. Among the most notable nature horseback rides: on the 12 miles of trails inside The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards and next door, where trails wind throughout the 40,000 acres of the protected Jocassee Gorges.
