Lake Lindsey Field Club - Sand Hills in Florida
Lake Lindsey Field Club in rural Hernando County, Florida is a new proposed golf course. The Hill Club routing is core golf. Lake Lindsey is a one hour drive north of Tampa.
Golf architect Blake Conant is assisting Doak in design of The Hill Club. Conant was co-architect with Brian Schneider of Old Barnwell and is contributing again as co-design credit with Schneider to build the second course The Gilroy. Conant is known for his aspirational golf course map which includes the remote Ooty Golf Club where Doak admired the opening downhill hole.
Soils from site are fine sands predominantly Candler, Arredondo, Kendrick, Sparr making for attractive materials for golf construction. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) describes Candler as very deep, excessively drained with very rapidly to rapidly permeable characteristics making golf construction relatively easy for benefits of rapid infiltration and shaping/earthmoving.
PGA professional David Bennett is a golf professional with general manager experience overseeing the opening of the club. Bennett was previously General Manager of Cabot Citrus Farms.
