Lakewood National Course
Lakewood Ranch, FL, USA





Lakewood National isn’t just a golf club; it's a testament to Florida’s ambitious spirit, bringing a distinct resort-style golf experience to the burgeoning Bradenton area. Carved from relatively flat, former agricultural land, the two courses at Lakewood National present a modern interpretation of risk-reward golf, favoring players who can shape the ball. Wide fairways often belie the challenges lurking closer to the greens, where water hazards and strategically placed bunkers come into play. Designed by Arnold Palmer Design Company, Lakewood National aims to provide a thoroughly enjoyable golfing experience for players of all skill levels. While not steeped in championship lore, the club has rapidly become a popular destination for both local enthusiasts and those seeking a high-quality, accessible golf experience in Southwest Florida. Lakewood National thrives on its vibrant community atmosphere. While golf is central, the club distinguishes itself through its comprehensive amenities, fostering a lifestyle-focused environment. The buzz around the clubhouse often extends beyond golf, with members actively participating in social events and enjoying the resort-style pool and dining options.
