We have company coming in for a couple of days. We would like to take a cart ride to see a gator. Are there any hanging out?
Thanks for the help.
P.S. we don't plan on taking a close up photo.

This might help. Supposedly they are still at the pond just south of Arnold Palmer Country Club. There is a golf cart, pedestrian, dog walker, biker bath going past it or you can park at Arnold Palmer CC and walk over to it.

This is an old thread from 2010.

Six foot + alligator sunning himself on one of the islands in the middle of a pond.

I've been here for a bit over five years and I find that gator sightings are a rare event. We were fortunate when we had some guests about a month ago to see one is the water next to RJ Gators at LSL.

I've also seen a few in the pond next to the cart path on the ninth hole of Palmer along Buena Vista.

I saw a small one in a veery small pond on the side of Stillwater Trail between Morse and O'Dell.

I've also seen them in Lake Sumter, but again it's rare to see them.

It was even rare to see them when taking an air boat ride with Wild Bill's Airboats. But we did see a few every time we went on the ride. It's funny, we went for a ride in the winter and was told that we probably wouldn't see any gators because it was too cold. Then we went back in the summer and were told that we probably wouldn't see any because it was too hot. Evidently, they're very fussy creatures.

A number of years ago I took an airboat ride down on Alligator Alley just west of Miami and we saw forty or so of gators.

Good luck with your gator search. But like I said, for me, it's been a rare event to see one. In five years I think I've seen less than ten.

I don't know if " Larry" the gator in the pond by the cart path near Brownwood is still there. We haven't seen it in a while.

Sometimes if you walk the boardwalk at LSL you might see one swimming in the water. We've lived here 8 yrs and sightings are truly random. Sometimes folks see them while golfing but to go out to specifically "see" one is pretty rare I think.

We had lunch at Arnold Palmer CC on Sunday but I forgot to go check if the gator was out on the pond. This is the only place I have heard of that there is a quite regular alligator sighting.

Anyone seen one here within the past week at Arnold Palmer Golf Course?

We finally saw one during the boat trip on Lake Sumter. It was just hanging out in a Sand Trap on the golf course seen from the boat's route. This boat tour will please your guests for sure. When we got back to the dock there many a whole lot of large fish and a few turtles just doing their thing. The men & women who run the boat trip are full of good information. Take Care.

The big one in that pond got a little too horny.

I've taken company to the pond south of Palmer on Buena Vista. You can often see gators on the sidebanks.
If they're out and about sunning themselves, they'll probably be there.

We know. That's how we roll over on three-word thread.
Otherwise it gets boring. You should drop by and liven things up.
