Golfing Around Polk County

With more than three dozen challenging courses, Polk County offers some of the finest golfing in Florida, and the highest number of un-crowded golf courses in the southeast. A wide range of quality golf tournaments, including the Senior's Pro Tour, offer golf fans an opportunity to watch, and to participate.

Award-winning designs, beautiful resorts and housing, and ideal climate combine to make Polk County Florida a golfers paradise. Some of the best include...

Oakwood Golf Club
This beautiful and challenging course winds through the woodlands and dunes of the Ridge, offering affordable championship golf. Broad fairways and one of the largest bunkers in the world give way to a few links-style holes. The Florida wildlife and scenery is super, along with some spectacular views of Historic Bok Sanctuary on nearby Iron Mountain.


Highland Park Hills
One of the most interesting courses in Florida, with its hilly layout high on the Lake Wales Ridge. More than one hundred feet of vertical relief and beautiful views make this historic course a delight. Set in the quiet of a private preserve, with an adjoining lakeside resort and inn.


Grenelefe
One of the top golf resorts in the United States, with three championship-level courses to challenge even the most dedicated golfers. A full-service resort, Grenelefe features restaurants, convention facilities, quality lodging, and a beautifully landscaped, quiet country setting.

Stonegate
Residents and visitors alike are welcomed at the semi-private Stonegate Golf Club, a spectacular golf course designed by Ron Garl. Also, within the expansive village you'll find The Grille at Stonegate, a casual restaurant and watering hole; a well-stocked pro shop; and men's and women's locker facilities. Outside is a deck overlooking the course, a driving range, and practice chipping and putting greens.
