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.

The sanctuary is tough for high handicappers

this 9 is tough for high handicappers but if you hit the ball straight you can score the greens are very good and you can throw the ball at the stick and it holds.

Interesting and fun

A short 65 or 67 par course.
There are three nines, I played The Oaks ( short and narrow, a shotmaker's course. I then played The Sanctuary, very wide and forgiving. A little dry but very playable.
Met a fun couple for a threesome and made new friends

BETTER THAN EXPECTED

Played Penbrooke for the first time after passing it by a hundred times. We live in The Villages and had to give it a try. Good rate on Golf Now for $14 plus extras= $18.00. Beats the standard $28 rate. Started off on the 9 hole exec (Oaks) which was OK and it you played the tips it could be kinda long and challenging. Greens were nice. Then went to the championship 9. Pleasantly suprised at the layaout and condition. We had a good time. I would go back if the price was right.

This course has a variety of features.

Three different nine holes offers something for all golfers. Friendly atmosphere in a gated community.

Short but lots of fun

Three nines - one full length and two executive - perfect setup for a retirement community. Good condition and lots of fun - I am a 5 handicap and will go back.

Did not like this course at all.

They offer 3 nines. One nine is a par 35, the second a par 32 and the third is a par 30. If you play 18 holes they send you out on the par 30 and finish on the par 35. Not good if you are looking to play a standard length course.

The course is in dire need of attention, especially the greens. Will not play this course again.

good course for the money

I played this course for the first time this week. My wife loved the executive course since it let her practice with her irons and chipping. I enjoyed the challenge, too. The 9 hole Sanctuary Course was awesome. 3 or 4 holes you felt as if you were the only people out there. I will gladly go back. I am looking to see if we can rent (snowbirds) in the park. It was a beautiful place and everyone was super friendly.
