Previously voted as the ‘best golf and country club' in Charlotte County, Florida, the Maple Leaf Golf and Country Club, formerly known as the Maple Leaf Estate Golf Course, is a semi-private 18-hole layout with six sets of tees. Measuring just 3,871-yards from the longest tees, plenty of water and bunkers are well-placed in the routing to guard the greens and to demand accurate shots from golfers of all skill levels.
At Maple Leaf, golfers will have memorable rounds as each hole has a distinguishing characteristic, sometimes a dogleg left or right, few have an approach to the green, or occasionally players hit shots over water. This challenging par 62 executive course is especially attractive for those who want to play a round in a couple of hours, where golfers can enjoy the matchless Florida weather.
Opened in 1976 and designed by architects Lane Marshall, Gordon Lewis, and Gus Grantham at various times, the routing got a complete make-over in 2018 starting with bunker sand replaced with manufactured sand and fairways surrounded with celebration Bermuda grass. Greens are also changed to Tifeagle grass, used by many sophisticated layouts in Florida. A new irrigation system is also installed, which has been designed to water the course in the best fashion to allow the grass to thrive, thus providing an even surface to play from.
Conveniently located in front of Kings Gate Golf Club and close to Port Charlotte Golf Club, the Maple Leaf Golf and Country Club layout is nearby I-75 for easy road access. From the entrance gate, golfers will first notice the layout's putting green, located in front of the Pro shop, which offers an excellent selection of golf equipment and accessories. Maple Leaf's friendly staff will also help players make starting times, rent golf carts, rent golf clubs, and register them before each round of golf. Golf lessons and clinics are also available for both novice and experienced golfers. Adjacent to the parking area is the Sandbar restaurant, featuring indoor and outdoor lakeside dining.
