BRIDGEWATER, THE GOLF CLUB AT

LAKELAND, FL

This exciting new links course called for all of architect Steve Smyers' years of skill and ability in course design. The goal — to build a challenging test of golf, a pleasurable experience for all skill levels, a stern challenge for long hitters. As a reclaimed phosphate mine with few stands of native oaks, the original terrain was flat. The topography now features undulating fairways (six connected by winding bridges) and multi-tiered tees and greens, many surrounded by well- placed bunkers. The flow of the land around the greens was carried onto the putting surfaces, resulting in slopes, ridges, and numerous potential hole locations. BridgeWater requires 'strategy' to play skillfully and rewards classic shotmaking with an extra risk/reward approach. In Lakeland, an easy 25-minute shot from the Kissimmee area and less than an hour from Tampa, just off I-4.
Added-value: Unlimited Golf per availability, and complimentary pre-round range balls included

Golfer Comments

11/03/2008 - A hidden beautiful course. Would definitely play again. Wonderful and helpful staff Posted by Joan (Oldsmar, FL)

10/06/2008 - After picking this course I realized that it was a new course that had been open for just a year. Five years down the road this might be an excellent course but right now there are a few holes that definitely show the immaturity. One par five in particular hardly had any fairway grass. I might like to play this course in a few years to see how it had matured. Posted by John (Broomfield, CO)

04/24/2008 - Tuff new course, play it smart. Deep bunkers and water hazards in almost every hole.. I would play it again next time i'm back in Orlando. Posted by Mario (Montreal, QC)
