The Villages Executive Golf Trail, Tarpon Boil Course

The Tarpon Boil Course takes its name from a Florida fishing phenomenon where tarpon chase baitfish near the surface of warm, shallow water, creating a churning boil visible from the shore. The name gives the course a distinctly Florida fishing-culture character among the trail’s more generically named layouts. As an executive course, the design keeps lengths short and puts emphasis on approach accuracy and putting.

The course is part of The Villages Golf Trail in Lady Lake and is open exclusively to community residents and their guests. The fishing-themed name connects it to Florida’s broader outdoor recreational identity, fitting for a retirement community where outdoor activity is central to daily life. The Tarpon Boil Course is one of the more uniquely named executive layouts in the trail’s Lady Lake cluster.
