Golf in Frostproof

Frostproof is a small city in Polk County on the shore of Lake Reedy, in the rural lake country of the central Florida interior south of the Lake Wales Ridge. Lily Lake Golf Resort is the sole course here, serving a small residential community in a part of the state where the lake-dotted terrain and the agricultural character of the Polk County interior define the landscape. No hole-count data is in public records for the course. The community's name references the reputation of its microclimate as relatively resistant to citrus-damaging frosts, a record that reflects the importance of the citrus industry to this part of the Florida interior before development pressures changed the land-use pattern.
