The Villages Executive Golf Trail, Yankee Clipper Course

The Yankee Clipper Course is one of the sports-themed executive layouts within The Villages Golf Trail in Lady Lake. The course plays at an executive length, with holes designed for accurate short iron play and strong putting rather than long drives. The flat central Florida terrain suits the walking-pace format typical of the trail’s courses.

The Yankee Clipper Course is part of The Villages’ resident-access trail and is restricted to community members and their guests. The sports-themed naming connects it to a series of layouts honoring American athletic figures and events throughout the development. The original Yankee Clipper Course proved popular enough that a second companion layout was added to the trail to handle the volume of play.
