Oakview Lakes Golf Course

Oakview Lakes Golf Course is a nine-hole par-27 course on South Washington Avenue in Fort Meade, a small city in central Polk County. The all-par-3 format makes every hole a short iron or wedge, suited to beginners and casual players rather than competitive golfers. There is no driving range on property, and the course operates at a community recreation level in a county better known for the Streamsong Resort courses to the southwest.

Fort Meade sits between Bartow and Avon Park in the phosphate mining region of central Polk County, and Oakview Lakes serves the local residents who want convenient access to golf without traveling to the larger markets in Lakeland or Sebring. The par-27 all-par-3 format keeps rounds short and accessible, and the South Washington Avenue location makes it easy to find within the town’s compact layout. Streamsong is close enough to provide a dramatic upgrade for serious players willing to make the drive.
