The Villages Executive Golf Trail, Longleaf Course

The Longleaf Course is named for the longleaf pine, a native Florida species, and is one of the shorter-format layouts in The Villages Executive Golf Trail. The course plays in a compact setting with a design focused on approach shots and putting rather than long drives. Like the other trail executive courses, it offers an accessible round that can be completed in a few hours.

The Villages Golf Trail in Lady Lake is open to community residents and their guests only. Longleaf is one of many such executive layouts spread across the development, which spans parts of Lake, Sumter, and Marion counties. The trail’s resident-access model means golfers can play different courses each day and experience a wide variety of short-course designs without leaving the community.
