The Venue: We are always excited to return to our long standing “home venue” at Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Summerfield. Great practice facilities, well-tended greens and always a challenging layout, that’s always well maintained, means we usually see some good scores returned by our players. Head Professional Dale Smauder and his professional team have always shown great commitment to the development of Junior Golf in our community and a great welcome to everyone and, in turn, we really enjoy playing there. We try to return here regularly and always keep things fresh by playing different 2 x 9 hole layouts each time. On this occasion we anticipate playing all 4 of the 9 hole layouts over both days of play

Sublimely challenging. Frustratingly addictive.

Surrounded by an abundance of natural Florida beauty, the El Campeón 18-hole championship course was designed by Chicago-based course architect, George O’Neil and built in 1917 – with further enhancements in 1926 by Charles E. Clarke of Troon, Scotland.

El Campeón is one of the South’s oldest golf courses and blends unusual Central Florida elevation changes of more than 85 feet with features of traditional golf design, including spectacular rolling fairways and undulating greens.

The course’s signature hole is the par 5, 17th hole – which features a long double dogleg that has more obstacles than some entire courses! Play a Top 25 U.S. course on GolfAdvisor – El Campeón (#9) – 2016.

We are always impressed by the Ocala GC,s  layout, its condition and its history…Join us for this one and play a 90-year-old gem that really has stood the test of time?

To those golfers who know this one well, and who have talked about it for years, they know it simply as “Muni!” …it is city owned but that’s where the term ends for me as its unlike any municipal course I’ve ever seen before!  The layout is great and it could easily pass for a private course. It’s become known as one of the best competition venues in Florida and it’s visited every year by numerous Tours including FJT.

History

The Ocala Golf Club is located in the City of Ocala in Marion County. The city of Ocala has a long history and strong ties with the development of golf in Florida, dating back to the early 20th century. Ocala had a 9-hole golf course in the early 1900s known as the Ocala Heights Golf Club.  The early popularity of golf in Ocala generated citizen support for the development of a second golf course on the east side of town. Construction began in 1930 for a course designed and built under the personal supervision of E. Ellsworth Giles, golf architect from Pittsburgh. Giles promoted himself not only as an architect but as a builder of golf courses and an authority in selecting land for golf links. The Ocala Highlands Golf Course and Hotel formally opened in 1931. The City of Ocala purchased the golf course in the mid-1940s and built a new clubhouse.

In 2009, the municipal golf course re-opened for play following an extensive renovation by golf course architect Michael Beebe. The renovation consisted of new greens, tees, bunkers, irrigation, cart paths and selective tree removal. According to Beebe, “our goal was to re-capture the classical look and strategic principles that had been lost over the years while utilizing improved technologies in turf grass, green construction, drainage and irrigation.” The club also re-introduced short grass around the greens to add interest to the short game.

We are particularly excited to be revisiting this exciting Orlando Championship venue. Undoubtedly one of the best Orlando has to offer. Designer Ron Garl has tried to bring a touch of Scotland and Links Golf to The Sunshine State and check out some of those 60 bunkers…we think this is going to be another great Claret Tour day of junior golf and we hope you can join us at Eagle Creek GC. The info below and images are taken directly from their website:

 

Eagle Creek Golf Club

Conveniently located minutes from the Orlando International Airport, Eagle Creek Golf Club Orlando was designed by world-renowned golf course architects Ron Garl and Howard Swan. It is an extraordinary 18-hole, 7200-yard, Par 73 championship course with five sets of tees for golfers of all skill levels and more than 60 bunkers and dramatic bulkheads are reminiscent of those found in Scotland and England. Overall, the true Scottish-style experience of Eagle Creek Golf Club stands out from other Orlando championship golf courses as a true golfing masterpiece!

Enjoy our unique Orlando Golf Club features like the spectacular 14,000 square foot, two-story clubhouse designed in a vintage, New England-manor style, which includes a fully stocked pro shop, the Belfry Restaurant – a 120-seat restaurant with private wedding and banquet space available, plus locker rooms and showers for men and women.

Whichever your occasion may be, we invite you to join us sometime soon for an exceptionally memorable experience at one of Central Florida’s finest signature golf clubs.
