About 30 miles northwest of Orlando lies Deer Island — a lush paradise in the middle of Central Florida. Deer Island is where Florida, golf and islands all come together — a private, peaceful and picturesque golf retreat.

Deer Island is a true peninsula, wedged between lakes Dora and Beauclair. Inside its lakeside boundaries are 400 acres of spectacular natural habitats, including bald eagles perched atop towering pines and oaks. The golf course was designed by noted Florida architect Joe Lee, who called it “the most unique course he’s ever designed.”

Not overly long, but tight in places, Deer Island carries a 137 slope rating from the black championship tees — among the highest in the state. Don’t fret though — three other sets of tees allow a wide array of golfers to enjoy Deer Island’s impeccable conditions and wonderful scenery without being overwhelmed.

The 17th and 18th holes hug the shores of Lake Dora and make for a breathtaking finish.
