Best Country Club for taking guests to sit outside for lunch?
 
Friends coming for visit to The Villages and they want to sit outside for lunch. Which Country Club has best lunch and seating outside? Thank you.

Depends on how far you want to go. All of the previous posters are spot on with their recommendations.

Mleeja 02-23-2021 11:59 AM

Lopez Pool Bar, Mallory, Havana, Orange Blossom, Belle Glade.

We went to Fenney last week. We ordered take out from the Fenney Grill and sat in the screened lanai at the rec center. You can social distance, sit in comfort and it is a little cooler on the screened lanai.

Belle Glade, Havana, Evans Prairie, Orange Blossom, Lopez...in that order. I can't understand anyone saying Palmer. Overpriced food and not great of a view...well, there is the name if that's important.

Cobullymom 02-24-2021 06:06 AM

We are blessed with many beautiful views at several of the country clubs...enjoy your visit!

The veranda overlooking the best pool in TV it's got to be OBH

Definitely Belle Glade. Spectacular golf course view. All of the others mentioned are also nice.

Havana’s

blueash 02-24-2021 07:39 AM

I know you asked for a country club, but if you are looking for a best view my favorite is the Lighthouse with Lake Sumter then a few holes of Palmer across the lake as your view.

Havana, Cane, Evans Prairie

Cannot go wrong with any of the Country Clubs and most or all have outside seating overlooking the course. Just pick one in the area you are in or want to be.

Wrong, you would go wrong at Hacienda Hills, unless you brought your own lunch and chair.

What is the dress code at the country clubs for lunch ? Thanks !

raynan 02-24-2021 09:56 AM

Very casual. No need to dress up.

elevatorman 02-24-2021 10:11 AM

Belle Glade has a great view. If you go for dinner the sun reflects off the pond and will blind your view.

albes19@comcast.net 02-24-2021 10:16 AM

Lopez Legacy,Glenview and Mallory

Albany 02-24-2021 12:23 PM

Belle Glade hands down.

prettyw102@aol.com 02-24-2021 03:13 PM

Best Country Club
 
Have been to Tierra Del Sol, Kane Gardens, Havana, Evans Prairie Orange Blossom and Glenview but hands down Lopez Legacy is my favorite. Excellent food,service and management. Go there at least 1x a week.

We eat at The Chop House because the outdoor seating is so lovely.

Mallory

chet2020 02-24-2021 11:40 PM

Who cares about the food, I go by the beer they have on tap. Lopez, Tierra del Sol, Bonifay have IPAs on tap. Evan's Prairie and Palmer have Guinness Stout on tap. Glenview and Mallory have a pitiful selection of beer, unless you are a connoisseur of light beers.

In all seriousness, I eat at wherever I golf, they're all fine. If the weather's nice and the company is good, you'll have a good time.

The “best” of any of the country clubs, whether food or drink, might be compromised by the time of the day that you visit (as mentioned above by “elevator man”). IOW, watch for the sun.

Based on the beer served, sign me up for Evan’s or Palmer.

I had my very first Chocolate Martini at Evan's Prairie at Christmas Time a fews years ago. They garnished the martini with a candy cane. I've never looked back.

Having said that, the view from Mallory Square country club is beautiful with a very long view of the rolling golf course. Morse Blvd in the distance adds to the view too. I'm partial to that one because I live in Mallory.

Each time we enter Belle Glade, I think that the view from the outdoor dining area should be featured on GOLF Magazine cover. Fantastic view, great food, and conveniently located within TV.
