Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, Private golf course in Southeast Orlando, United States.
Lake Nona Golf & Country Club is a 600-acre private residential community in southeast Orlando with an 18-hole championship course designed by Tom Fazio in 1986. The course runs through natural pine forests and oak groves and encompasses three lakes, with yardages from 4,221 to 7,200 yards.
The club opened in 1986 and quickly became a recognized venue when it hosted the Solheim Cup in 1990. Three years later, the World Cup of Golf came here, giving the course international standing.
The club's roster of residents includes major champions Annika Sörenstam, Nick Faldo, Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, along with coach David Leadbetter. Many of them settled beside the fairways of the course they play, which is why the community is associated with touring professionals.
The facility is open to members and their guests, so visitors should check access arrangements in advance. The grounds offer several tee positions that allow for different levels of play.
Several well-known international golfers live in the neighborhood surrounding the course. This proximity has made the area an informal gathering place for professional players from different countries.
