Golf in Lake Placid

Lake Placid is a small city in Highlands County in the central Florida interior, on the shore of Lake June-in-Winter and surrounded by the freshwater lake network of the Lake Wales Ridge. Placid Lakes Country Club serves this inland lake community in a county where the retirement residential base, the mural-covered downtown, and the caladium farming heritage define the local character. No hole-count data is in public records for the course. Lake Placid is known for the caladium plant farming that has given this community a floral identity, and the claim as the Caladium Capital of the World reflects the agricultural heritage of the Highlands County interior.
