Located in Leesburg, Florida, the Pennbrooke Fairways, Sanctuary Course, is a semi-private 9-hole layout that offers every challenge one might expect from a well-designed par 35 routing. Like its sister courses the Oaks and Meadows, this layout also offers five tee placements to accommodate any individual's skill level.
The Pennbrooke Fairways, Sanctuary Course is a rigorous test of every golfer's control, accuracy, and putting skills. The signature area of this course is not a hole, but rather a 500-foot bridge that spans a protected wildlife area and preserves.
With two par 5 holes ranging from 442-yards from the yellow tees to 540-yards from the black tees, the Sanctuary Course holes challenge long-ball hitters. Each of the par 5's has its own set of danger areas, with the first par 5 narrowings severely at the landing area, which requires golfers to play a safe lay-up or a booming drive to get beyond it. The second par 5 is well-bunkered at every critical point along the fairway, with a water hazard and a lateral hazard on the left, forcing dead center or slightly right hits as golfers approach the green.
Throughout the course, the four par 4's are all protected by strategically placed bunkers and ponds, to round out the longer holes. Three par 3's, all of which bring water or marshland into play, complete the line-up.
Designed by Terrill LaGree in 2002, the routing is open year-round and also offers golfers access to a pitching green, putting green, and golf school academy with teaching pros available to assist players to improve. At the clubhouse snacks and drinks are available for those heading out or just finishing their round.
