WINTER PINES GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Winter Park, FL, USA
Designed by Lloyd Clifton



Winter Pines Golf Course operates as a public facility in Winter Park, Florida, a city located just north of Orlando in the central part of the state. The course was designed by Lloyd Clifton, a regional architect who worked primarily in Florida during the mid-20th century. The layout reflects the design sensibilities of its era, when Florida courses often emphasized playability for a wide range of golfers while working within the constraints of the state's flat terrain and sandy soils.
The course sits in an area characterized by the mature pine trees common to central Florida, which provide natural definition to the holes and offer shade in the region's warm climate. The relatively level topography typical of this part of Florida means elevation change is minimal, with strategic interest coming instead from tree placement, bunker positioning, and the management of water features that are standard elements in Florida golf course design. The sandy subsoil provides good drainage, an important consideration given the area's frequent afternoon thunderstorms during summer months.
Winter Pines serves the greater Orlando metropolitan area as an accessible public golf option. The course caters to local residents, tourists visiting the nearby theme park corridor, and golfers seeking a straightforward round without the premium pricing of resort facilities. Its location in Winter Park places it within one of Orlando's more established communities, providing convenient access for both daily-fee players and those looking for a practical venue for casual golf outings.
