Lemon Bay GC (16-18)

Six miles north of the Gasparilla Island bridge lies the Lemon Bay Golf Course facing the Gulf of Mexico. The course is graced by nature with mature native pines, small lakes and ponds, which serve as home to their original ancient Florida residences, flocks of exotic tropical birds and the nesting aristocrats of Lemon Bay, the white capped American eagles. They're all here protected by this Audubon sanctioned golf club.

Lemon Bay is the most popular private, in season golf club in the area. The challenge and quiet beauty of this nature course provides for a satisfying golf and social experience.

Lemon Bay Golf Club is a proud member of the Florida State Golf Association and the United States Golf Association.
