Built in 1958 and designed by Dick Wilson, the beautiful course is named after the Spanish Colonial Revival style hotel situated on Little Lake Jackson on the south side of Sebring. Construction for the 134 room hotel began in 1925. Two years later, the hotel and golf resort opened its doors to guests and visitors.

In 1953 the hotel was bought by Victor and David Jacobson and their partners Larry Tennenbaum and San Levy. Victor commissioned golf course architect Dick Wilson to transform the golf course into a championship layout. The Jacobsons operated the hotel until 1982 when they sold it to a group of investors, who were unable to convert the structure to timeshares, due to financial difficulties. Harder Hall has been unoccupied ever since.

The club features an outstanding eighteen hole course, plus a nine hole executive course. The Eighteen Hole Course is a championship layout with tree-lined fairways that demand straight shots from off the tees. This course is flat, but there are water hazards coming into play on at least five holes. The other tee shown is an additional men's tee. Carts are mandatory on this course. The Executive Course is typically flat, but there is an occasional hill that can cause uneven lies. The wide-open fairways are lined with palm trees, and there are ponds that come into play on five holes. The greens are medium-sized, undulating, and protected by a few sand bunkers. You are required to walk this course, but it's well worth the workout. There are additional sets of tees when playing an eighteen hole round.
