Seasonal Intern

SUMMARY 

Mountain Lake is a historic gated community in Lake Wales, approximately 45 miles from Orlando, Florida. Founded in 1916, Mountain Lake was developed with the help of Frederick Olmstead III, and noted golf course architect Seth Raynor. The golf course is often ranked in the top 100 courses in the country.  Mountain Lake built the "Colony House" in 1916, which is a seasonal hotel with approximately 35 rooms, and is open for three meals a day from October 1 to May 1.  

The course has Tif-eagle bermudagrass greens, Zoysia grass tees and 419 bermudagrass fairways and rough.  The Club has retained golf course architect, Tyler Rae to develop an enhancement plan for the course. This plan will be developed in the summer of 2024.
