About

Holes 9
Type Semi-Private
Par 35
Length 3036 yards
Slope 113
Rating 35.0

Situated less than an hour from Orlando, Pennbrooke Fairways in Leesburg is one of the top spots for golf in Lake County, Florida. There are three different nines available, the executive Meadow and Oaks Courses, and the Sanctuary nine, a regulation course. Like the Oaks and Meadow nines, the Sanctuary has five different sets of tees available. There are two par-5 holes that will please long hitters and they also present some of the toughest challenges. The first par 5 you'll encounter narrows severely at the landing area, forcing you to choose between a safe layup and an ambitious drive. Bunkers are strategically placed throughout and there are also ponds and marshland that come into play. All three of the par-3 holes bring water into play. Pennbrooke Fairways' Sanctuary golf course doesn't have the same walkability the others have due to the 500-foot bridge that spans a protected wildlife area and swamp.

Most Improved Award

WOW! Returning snowbirds will love the excellent conditions of the Sanctuary Course at Pennbrooke Fairways. New superintendent and maintenance company have done a great job making this one of the most enjoyable courses in the area. Fairways are lush and greens roll true. Beautiful course with water coming into play on several holes. Great value - will definitely play again.

Needs tender loving care.

The fairways were so dry and barren it was hard to get under the ball. The greens were full of weeds. Finished play under 3 hours because no one was playing.

Disappointed

Not the plushest course in the world. It was ok, but lots of bare spots. Front 9 we played was a regulation/championship course. But, then, the back 9, we were on an executive course with only 3 Par 4's and no Par 5's. We didn't know that when we booked. Disappointed!

Wonderful day!

So nice to get out in the middle of the chaos that is COVID. We had not golfed in well over a month and we had a fantastic time at Pennbrooke.
