THE CLUB AT LOST LAKE

The dense palmetto scrub and towering pines create a surprisingly rugged Florida test that feels more North Carolina mountains than coastal flatland, with elevation changes rare for the region adding genuine strategic intrigue to approach shots. Water comes into play on nearly half the holes, but it's the thick native areas flanking tight fairways that will punish wayward drives and demand course management over raw power. This Tom Fazio design rewards precision and local knowledge, particularly on the risk-reward par-5 finishing stretch where aggressive lines can yield birdies or double-bogeys with equal ease.
