A week in Lakeland in the spring is a golf week by default, and the plan is the one that makes the week work.
Polk County has 23 courses within a fifteen-mile radius, which means a week here is a golf week. You can play a different course every day of a week and not repeat one, and in the spring you can do it without a waiting list if you book early.
The course locals point visitors to is the Club at Eaglebrooke, a Ron Garl links-style design with over a hundred feet of elevation change, water in play on eleven holes, and a Golf Digest four-and-a-half star rating it has held for years. In the spring it is the course everyone wants to be on, and the move is to book the tee time for the first day of the week.
Early morning on the course, back to the house by 10, a slow lunch at Cob & Pen, an afternoon on the lake, and a late dinner at Nineteen61. That is the day, and you can do it five of them. The houses we manage are a short drive from the courses, and the dock houses are the ones that make the post-round afternoon work.
The local tip: the spring tee times are the ones that fill first, and the spring house rates are the ones that are still available. Book the house early and the tee times will take care of themselves.
