"We believe this change represents an important next
step in our continued evolution as a membership-focused club," general manager Ryan Roberts said in a statement. "With more opportunities for our members to enjoy the golf course on weekends, we also look forward to welcoming more families, creating more member interaction, and building an even stronger sense of community at Eaglebrooke. This change is about putting our members first and making sure that one of the most valuable benefits of your membership—access to your golf course—is available when you need it most."
Lakeland is between Orlando and Tampa. The Club at Eaglebrooke opened in 1996 and had an extensive renovation in 2025 which rebuilt 20 greens and resurfaced the collars around the greens. In addition, two bridges were built on the 13th hole, a large bulkhead on the 17th hole was done and various bunkers around the course were reshaped.
