DEER ISLAND COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Tavares, FL, USA
Designed by Joe Lee



Deer Island Country Club, built on a unique island setting in Central Florida, presents a golfer's escape where water is as much a playing partner as the other members in your foursome. The course, while not steeped in championship lore, provides a compelling test amid a distinctive landscape.
Architect Joe Lee’s design winds its way across the island, a layout that favors strategic play over brute force. Water hazards loom large, demanding accuracy from tee to green and a deft touch around the putting surfaces. While wide fairways are present, the course's numerous doglegs, penal bunkers, and ever-present water, ensure no two rounds play the same.
Deer Island offers a haven for those seeking a relaxed, yet challenging golfing experience. After your round, the 19th hole is a warm gathering spot, where tales of near misses and triumphant birdies are shared over local fare. The membership enjoys a social calendar filled with member events, cultivating a strong sense of community that extends beyond the fairways.
