Florida’s Club at Eaglebrooke preps for 2025 renovation

Located in the middle of the Sunshine State, the six-month project will be the first major work on the 1996 Ron Garl design.

The Club at Eaglebrooke, a semi-private facility in Lakeland, Florida, will undergo a golf course renovation beginning in April 2025. The project is expected to take six months and will focus on the course’s greens, while replacing bridges and bulkheads throughout the property. Mondragon Golf, a Bartow, Florida-based golf course construction company, will oversee the project. The Club at Eaglebrooke will reopen for member and limited non-member/public play in October 2025.

During the project, crews will rebuild all 18 greens to their original size and shape and resurface with Tifeagle Bermuda grass. The two bridges on hole 13 will be rebuilt, and the large bulkhead on hole 17 will be rebuilt. In addition to these projects, superintendent Wesley Parker and the agronomy team will make select drainage, irrigation, tee box and bunker improvements while the course is closed.

“The upcoming renovation will boost our goal of becoming the best semi-private facility in the Lakeland area,” GM Ryan Roberts said.

The Club at Eaglebrooke golf course was originally designed by architect Ron Garl and opened for play in 1996. Next year’s enhancement project will mark the first substantial renovations to Eaglebrooke’s greens since the course opened. The 6,917-yard, links-style course features natural lakes, abundant wildlife and 100 feet of elevation change — unique in that part of Florida.

The Club at Eaglebrooke is professionally managed by Indigo Sports, a Troon Company.
