Golf in Clewiston

Clewiston is a small city at the southern end of Lake Okeechobee, in the sugar-cane agriculture zone on the western edge of Palm Beach County. Clewiston Golf Course is the sole course here, serving a rural agricultural community in a part of the county far removed from the coast and the resort corridor. No hole-count data is in public records for the course. The sugar-cane industry that has defined this area since the early twentieth century remains the primary economic driver, and the golf market here is sustained by the permanent residential population of this inland community rather than the seasonal visitor base that defines the county's coastal markets. Lake Okeechobee fishing and the surrounding agricultural landscape define the setting.
