Adventurers are welcomed to Lakeside Golf & Country Club to practice their skills at this course. Dog legs, pine trees, and lakes are not enough for you? Then how about 51 sand traps strategically placed in places you don’t want them to be at and the hills are another task you will have to master at the same time. But something that you may not know is that you will be playing around an abandoned phosphate mine, making it an unusual layout and not typical of most Florida courses.
