Southern Oaks Golf Club

Overview

Southern Oaks Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course in the Village of St. Catherine, in the southern Eastport/Sawgrass section of The Villages. It was designed by Kenny Ezell.

An unusual feature of the par-72 layout is its balance: each nine contains three par 3s, three par 4s and three par 5s, with holes of each type running in different directions. Multiple tee sets make the course playable for a wide range of abilities.
