Willowbrook Golf Course, Winter Haven

Mature trees, water hazards, bunkers, and doglegs define Willowbrook Golf Course's natural setting, but that isn't the property's only allure: alligators, herons, foxes, and many other Central Florida residents make frequent appearances during rounds, too. Located in Polk County, the course boasts a challenging, yet forgiving layout, making it a test for seasoned golfers and a good learning experience for beginners. In addition to rounds of golf, Willowbrook also offers FootGolf—a hybrid of soccer and golf—and practice areas, complete with a driving range, putting greens, and chipping zones. Inside the clubhouse, a pro shop stocks the sport's latest gear and a bar and grill invites golfers to kick back and have a beer.
