Deer Island Golf & Lake Club

18000 Eagles Way
Deer Island, FL 32778
Phone: (352)343-7550Fax: (352)343-7970

This is a 400-acre island course and is part of a private community. Lake Dora surrounds the course and runs alongside some holes. The fairways are mostly wide open, and sand bunkers outline the course in the true Joe Lee tradition. The greens are average-sized and quite undulating. The most difficult hole is #13, a 184-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot that must carry the entire length of the lake, usually with a cross wind affecting your shot. The shifting winds make this course a different challenge every day.

A round in paradise, May 11, 2006

reviewer: D.K. from Chesterfield, VA

Played this course on 4/28/06. Found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful. The course is absolutely breathtaking and the wildlife frequently took my attention away from my game. Needless to say water coming into play on most holes was challenging, but I had come here for a relaxing round and scaring the alligator into the water was just icing on the cake. I will return to this course. not only to improve my score, but to enjoy the sheer beauty of the surroundings. Thanks for a delightful day in paradise.

Central Fl golf at its finest, Feb 26, 2004

reviewer: Thad Caraway from Orlando, Fl USA

This course is unbelievable. Just a short drive from Orlando. If this same course was in the city of Orlando, greens fees would be well over one hundred dollars, and the course would be packed. This course is very challenging, and beyond reasonable as far as price. One of the premier courses in the entire area.

Delray Dunes Golf & Country Club
"A South Florida gem"
This a great private golf course, with new TifSport fairways, TifEagle greens and new bunkering, all put in during the summer of 2002. Pete Dye's course is better than ever. The new gold (back) tees now play 6,616 yards with a 72.0/131 course and slope rating. This par 71 course is made up of narrow fairways, many tree-lined. Four par 4s exceed 400 yards with number 6 playing 442 yards and number 13 reaching 437 yards; tough holes by every standard. If you can find a member or locate a friend of a member, by all means make it a point to play this great South Florida golf course.

Chapel Hill Country Club
"HARD TO GET ON - GREAT TO PLAY"
Course is a traditional style designed by Gene Hamm and renovated by John LaFoy in 1999. This is the only private course in Chapel Hill. Walking is encouraged and it is a great way to experience the course. Signature hole IS NOT # 14. It's # 10 which can require carry over water twice. Pin on this hole makes 3 to 4 clubs difference on second shot. It's a beauty! Only one hole without bunkers - the par 3 9th is about 175 uphill from middle tees. Out of bounds on many of the holes as the fairways rise and fall through a very established traditional and exclusive neighborhood. Greens are all large (with at least 6 different zones on each one for pin placement)and have many contours. Three putts are common - especially in spring and fall when the bent grass surface is kept very fast. Bring your thinking cap, but also bring your game if your fun comes from scoring well. It's not an easy course, but it's not Jack Nicklaus difficult either.

Texas National Golf Club
"Texas National is a great value."
This is a great course kept in extremely good shape. It is a little far out from Houston but if you live anywhere on the north side, it's well worth the drive. It's inexpensive and not crowded, especially on weekdays. The greens are in very good shape and the course is challenging without being a killer.
