A Hidden 1920's 27 Hole Gem in Lakeland FL

A Hidden 1920's Gem in Lakeland Florida. Welcome to 27 Beautiful Holes of 1920's Style Old Country Charm. This course was designed in the 1920's Style for the Wealth folks of the time, many of them former Cleveland Indians Baseball greats such as Tris Speaker as well as others of the time. The Entire Staff is OUTSTANDING including (Brock Witmyer > GM), just ask for a brief tour of the 1920's Style Clubhouse and Grounds, they will show you the History of the Course and Surrounding area as if you lived in the 1920's era! The layout is challenging as they have 5 Tee locations (Yellow, Green, White, Blue & Black), the Fairways are cut with a light rough cut highlighting the edges, the Greens hold your perfectly placed shots as well as run true for putting, and the Sand if you end up in it is resourceful with the clean cut edges of traps exposed. Give it a try, as I am returning again later in the week.

Needs some work

Overall, the course is in pretty good shape. However, the fairways need a lot of work. Many areas of no grass or nothing but weeds. The greens are in good shape. They were slow on the day we played, but because they were wooly and wet. I love this course but was disappointed this time. Hopefully, management will get enough similar reports to take action.

Thanks for the feedback. The combination of 3.5 inches of rain and we had just over seeded the week before you played would cause slower greens. The feedback has been very positive over the past 90 days and we hope to keep improving. We hope to see you back soon. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Love playing at Cleveland Heights

I have always enjoyed playing at Cleveland Heights... challenging, but not too challenging... course is public, so it is tough to keep it in perfect condition because many different types of golfers play... better than any other public course in Lakeland.

Was paired up with another Father & Son couple. Great people. Course was in dry condition. On C course had several patch work quilt greens. Please golfers fix your ball marks on the green so we can putt without hopping over pot holes.
