The Sanctuary Golf Course at Pennbrooke Fairways
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Bad Course Conditions
I had never seen so bad greens. For this conditions is the course much to expensive.
Course includes Executive Nines
When I booked, I didn’t realize only one nine was a regular length course. Our first nine was an Executive corse made up of mostly par 3s. Our second nine was the regular length course with par 5s on it. The third nine consists of only par 3s and 4s.
Great course
Great course starts with a nine hole executive course and the back nine is a bit more challenging course was a fun time by all
Windy
Fairways were average for winter play.
Greens were in pretty good shape.
very windy
executive
Was a windy, cloudy day so that didn't help. I new it was an executive course for 9 holes so was okay with that. Greens were pretty good, rolled true. Layout was non existent on one 9 but otherwise the Sanctuary was good. If you play there ask for the Oaks and the Sanctuary. Clubhouse restaurant was not open so that was a negative.
Good Times
The Oaks is a very short ,nicely kept short 9 hole course.
Greens
A couple of greens were lost on the Oaks Course ... very bad patches of nothing, plus a couple greens on the Sanctuary needed some work. All in all ... the courses were in pretty good shape.
Interesting challenge
Several greens were in bad shape with dead areas, but the tee boxes and fairways were in good condition. Almost had the course to ourselves. Certainly a bargain at this price. Would happily play often even if we had to pay more.
Rough
fairways & greens were not in good shape.
very disappointed
way too slow
I think we got behind the last 4some in a league cause they never offered to let us thru and don't think we could have went anywhere, anyway. Way slow Don't like slow. Can't play slow.
Typical Central Florida Course
Course was in average condition, greens were somewhat rough. You could see some storm damage.
