Overview & Suitability
The Innisbrook Resort - Green Lot Parking Entrance is a highly specialized, outdoor grass and dirt parking facility primarily utilized during major events at the resort, most notably the annual PGA Tour Valspar Championship held at the famed Copperhead Course. Located under the power lines near the intersection of Belcher Road and Klosterman Road, this lot is ideally suited for standard passenger vehicles and golf spectators. Please note that this is not an RV campground or long-term motorhome park; oversized vehicles are restricted and must be directed to park near the resort's main entrance at the Belcher Gate.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
Because the Green Lot is an open-air, unpaved surface lot, there are no height clearance restrictions for standard vehicles. Accessing the lot via the Belcher Road entrance is highly recommended, as this path avoids the extreme traffic congestion along US Highway 19 during tournament weeks. The lot is located immediately adjacent to the golf course near Gate 8 and the Osprey Driving Range, providing direct walk-in access to the course. Note that shuttles are typically not provided from this lot, so visitors should be prepared for a short walk to the tournament gates.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
During the Valspar Championship, parking passes for the Green Lot must be purchased digitally in advance (historically priced around $20 per day), and drive-up cash payments are not accepted at the gate from Thursday through Sunday. Additionally, there is a special promotion where the first 100 Lexus vehicles arriving each day receive complimentary parking in this lot. For regular resort guests outside of major event weeks, self-parking is included under the standard daily resort service fee ($45 per night), and Innisbrook operates as a completely cashless facility.
Security & Amenities
The Green Lot features active staffing and parking attendants during major tournament hours. It also serves as the official, designated Rideshare Drop-off and Pickup Zone (Uber/Lyft) near Gate 8, making it an incredibly convenient hub for ride-hailing services. While there are no electric vehicle (EV) charging stations directly in the Green Lot, resort guests can find EV chargers located in the Edinburgh parking lot near the resort's front desk.
Strategic Alternative
The Green Lot is the premier strategic alternative to the remote Bronze Lot (at Palm Harbor University High School) or Silver Lot (at Carwise Middle School). While those options require waiting for shuttle buses, parking at the Green Lot allows you to walk directly onto the course. It is also an excellent option compared to the premium Gold Lot, which, though located on-property, is significantly more expensive at approximately $75 per day.
