Orange County National is home of the 2010 PGA Q (Qualifying) School. Links are below. The driving range at OCN is the largest in the country 43 acres. Orange County National is the #1 rated public course is Florida and the #2 rated public course in the USA. The rates are $51.00 for 18 with a cart Monday - Friday before 11:00 AM less after. Orange County National has two 18 hole championship courses and 1 par 3 course. What a golf facility.

Orange County National is just off the 429 Trunpike at the 2nd exit from the FL Turnpike. Less than an hour drive.

Both of these courses are well worth the drive. These are world class courses.
I forgot to mention in my previous post Harbor Hills Country Club. In the Friday sports section of the Daily Sun there is always a coupon to play Harbor Hills the current coupon is for $29.00 with a cart and includes a $5.00 food voucher in the Signature Grill.

I have eaten at the grill and it is very good. The views from this golf course are great and it is a nice layout. I have taken guest out there just to see the view from the club house and have lunch at the grill. The view over looking Lake Griffin is worth the trip. Harbor Hills is located just East of The Villages and has a Lady Lake mailing address. Link is below
