Suggestion #2
Day 1:
• Begin your golf adventure at
Highlands Reserve Golf Club in
Davenport. The par-72 course
designed by Mike Dasher features
a Scottish links-style layout.
(863-420-1724)
• A short drive to Lakeland takes
you to The Club at Eaglebrooke,
where water will challenge you
on 11 holes of this 7,000-yard
championship course
(863-701-0101). Or check out
The Golf Club at BridgeWater,
Lakeland’s new semi-private course
and a recent work of architect
Steve Smyers. (863-682-3000)
Day 2:
• Try Southern Dunes Golf &
Country Club in Haines City for
another luxury resort course. This
Steve Smyers-designed course
traverses 100 feet of elevation
changes over 7,200 bunkered
yards and is the #3 public course
in Florida. (863-421-4653)
• Check out the new Champions
Turf at Ridgewood Lakes
(863-424-8688) or Providence
(863-420-2652), Polk’s newest
course, with 2200 pristine acres.
Both courses are in the
Davenport area.

With near-perfect weather and a collection
of golf courses designed by some of
the biggest names in course
architecture, it’s no surprise
that Central Florida’s Polk County is a popular
destination for amateur and pro golfers alike.
