The Lady Lake, Fla. property selected Sanford Ferris Golf Designs to alleviate flooding issues and improve the routing with the new design. The project follows a recently renovated model home sales center, the addition of a new operations center and expanded home sites to elevate amenities and accommodation options for its active resort residents and growing residential base.
Water Oak Country Club Estates in Lady Lake, Fla. has broken ground on a multi-million-dollar golf course renovation. Designed by Sanford Ferris Golf Designs, the new course will alleviate flooding issues, improve the routing, and provide a strategic and fun challenge for all golfers.
Once complete, the new par-70, 6,100-yard layout will embrace the site’s unique characteristics, like the large mature oak trees that have defined the course for decades. Additionally, the new routing also takes advantage of the 90-acre site’s 70 feet of vertical change. The project is expected to be completed in September 2022.
“Our team is thrilled to lead the design of the complete course renovation,” said David Ferris, ASGCA, RLA of Sanford, Ferris Golf Design. “With straight sight lines and angled features including fairways, greens, and bunkers, this core golf course emulates those of the golden era of golf course design.”
The project follows a recently renovated model home sales center, the addition of a new operations center and expanded home sites to elevate amenities and accommodation options for its active resort residents and growing residential base.
“Water Oak Country Club Estates has so much to offer the local 55+ active community and this milestone project will further increase our amenities and enhance our experience for residents,” said Sheri Woodworth, Division Vice President at Sun Communities. “We’re excited to be embarking on this journey and look forward to offering a range of new amenities to our expanding residential community.”
