Best course in Avon Park.
The Sun N Lake golf club is the best around Avon Park, FL. They offer two courses to play. Deer Run and Turtle Run. My favorite is Turtle. You can't go wrong with either course. I've played both many time and always look forward to coming back. Both courses are always in excellent condition with never having to hear "cart path only today". If you get the players advantage, which I recommend, you'll save a ton of money. The staff is excellent. 10 out of 10 in my book. If you haven't already, book a round at Turtle. You wont be disappointed.
