Lake Bess Golf Club

Lake Bess Golf Club is a 9-hole layout in Winter Haven playing 2,271 yards to a par 33, a short-format course suited to quick rounds and players focused on improving their iron game. Despite its compact size, the course provides a driving range for pre-round warm-up, an uncommon amenity at this scale.

The club sits along Golf Aire Boulevard in eastern Winter Haven, within easy reach of the city’s many lakes and the broader Polk County golf corridor. Economy-level green fees make it one of the more affordable options in the Winter Haven area, particularly for juniors, beginners, or golfers looking for an efficient round during a busy travel day.
