WEKIVA GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Longwood, FL, USA
Designed by Ward Northrup


Wekiva Golf Club sits in Longwood, a suburb north of Orlando in central Florida. The course was designed by Ward Northrup, a Florida-based architect who worked primarily in the state during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Northrup's designs typically reflected the constraints and opportunities of Florida's flat terrain and sandy soils, often incorporating natural wetlands and native vegetation into the routing.
The course occupies land characteristic of the region, where elevation changes are modest and water features—whether natural or constructed—play a significant role in both strategy and aesthetics. The Wekiva area takes its name from the nearby Wekiva River system, known for its springs and forested corridors, though the degree to which the course itself engages with these natural features depends on its specific property boundaries and routing decisions made during construction.
As a daily-fee or semi-private facility serving the greater Orlando metropolitan area, Wekiva caters to a mix of local residents and visitors. The course provides accessible golf in a region where the game is played year-round, and where many layouts compete for attention amid Florida's dense concentration of courses. Northrup's work here would have aimed to create playable golf within the environmental and budgetary realities of its time, balancing challenge for regular players with the practical demands of maintenance in Florida's climate.
