LW Women’s Golf Club

All women in Leisure World are welcome to join the LW Women’s Golf Club. They play a weekly nine hole tournament on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 a.m. at the Turtle Lake Golf Course.

Turtle Lake Golf Course is a nine hole, par-3 pitch and putt course. It is one of the first amenities that is seen when coming in the main gate. There is an area where one can practice putting and chipping. The longest drive on the course is 110 yards and the shortest is 54 yards.

Hole No. 2 is one of the most interesting and difficult. From the women’s tees it is a short 50 yards. However, water comes into play. Use the right club or one may be over the fence and on someone’s roof or in the water. It’s a challenging hole.

The course gets a lot of play. Many players play every day. Doing two rounds (18 holes) is the norm. Some people play more. If play is moving it can take an hour to hour-and-a-half to play nine holes. It is a wonderful amenity.
