Golf in Winter Haven

Winter Haven is a city in Polk County in the central Florida chain-of-lakes country, in the lake district west of the former Cypress Gardens site. Three courses serve the city — Country Club of Winter Haven, Cypresswood Golf & Country Club, and Willowbrook Golf Course — in a lake-country market sustained by the permanent residential population. No hole-count data is in public records for Country Club of Winter Haven, Cypresswood, or Willowbrook. The Chain of Lakes that defines the city's geography — with some of the most productive bass fishing lakes in the state among the winter haven lakes — gives this Polk County city a freshwater lake character that defines the residential lifestyle and the outdoor recreation market.
