Imperial Lakewoods Golf Club - Tampa Bay’s Favorite Golf Course Keeps Getting Better

Print E-mail

Imperial Lakewoods Golf Club Dynamic course design, impeccable conditioning and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere are just a few of the pleasures that await you at Imperial Lakewoods Golf Club. Combine those with reasonable rates and a convenient location and you will understand why golfers have returned again and again to play this golf gem in northern Manatee County.

The Cueto family has owned and operated the property since 1993, and many of the employees have been there for all of those 16 years. Some of the grounds crew have worked every inch of the property and their commitment to excellence ensures that the course is always in great condition. It is one of the reasons why Imperial Lakewoods Golf Club is always ranked as one of the area’s best courses and one of the Tampa Bay area’s favorite places to play.

The dedication to continuously improve the course is a source of family pride. The attention to detail throughout the property becomes obvious as you play the course that stretches over more than 500 beautifully wooded acres with 16 lakes, majestic maples, large oaks, swaying palms, and rolling terrain. An on-going program of introducing new plants and trees adds interest and challenges for the frequent golfer.

Imperial Lakewoods Golf ClubSeveral holes have been redesigned over the past few years, creating an unpretentious and progressive design that places a premium on skill but doesn’t punish the higher handicap players. Imperial Lakewoods plays comfortably from the red or senior (silver) tees and is an enjoyable and fair course from the white tees. Conversely, the course can be difficult from the tips, testing professional or low-handicap players.

The 18th hole is the signature hole at Imperial Lakewoods Golf Club, and has been ranked as one of the best par-5s in Florida several years in a row. At 600 yards from the back tees, this hole requires a long, accurate drive, an equally precise second shot, and a perfect third shot to a green with water left, woods right, and a bunker in front. Not that the hole isn’t difficult enough, but don’t forget to check out the wind, which is always blowing hard off Imperial Lake. When you finish this hole you’ll understand the frequent comparisons to the famous 18th at Pebble Beach Golf Links.

The numerous upgrades and improvements are not limited to the golf course. The latest additions include new shelters and bathrooms on the course and a brand new fleet of golf cars.

And, since you are sure to use every club in your bag on this course, the club offers an area to practice before you play, including a grass tee driving range; practice bunker and putting and chipping areas; as well as the expertise of three PGA golf professionals to help with your game. Private golf instruction and clinics are available and the pros can also help set up your next tournament or league.

A challenging and rewarding experience can be found on the luxurious greens and fairways at Imperial Lakewoods Golf Club

Inside the clubhouse, the lakeside restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy the view of the lake and natural landscape before or after a round of golf. The banquet facilities comfortably hold 175 people and provide a beautiful backdrop for any occasion. Customized menus can be individually created for weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, parties, birthdays, anniversary celebrations, showers, company parties and meetings.

The Grill at Imperial is the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely breakfast, meet friends for lunch or to host your next special occasion. A professional staff and helpful banquet manager will fulfill your every need.

Convenience also contributes to Imperial Lakewoods popularity. Located at exit 229, directly off I-75, it is just one mile north of the intersection of Interstates 75 and 275. The course is located approximately 10 minutes from the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and 30 minutes (or less) from Sarasota, Bradenton, Tampa and St. Petersburg.

Award-winning golf combined with natural beauty, optimum conditioning and attentive customer service.

And finally, Imperial Lakewoods Golf Club is popular for affordable rates. The course is open to the public throughout the year, and Imperial Lakewoods is now offering membership opportunities to non-resident golfers, with membership dues among the lowest of any comparable championship-caliber golf course in the area. As an added bonus, if you join now you pay no initiation fee. A new six month membership is available, providing seasonal visitors a place to call home while away from home.
