Lake Bess

Summary

Lake Bess is a public 9-hole golf course in Winter Haven, Florida, USA, within the broader USA - South golf landscape. The course follows a parkland layout, a style commonly associated with inland golf, tree-lined corridors, more sheltered playing conditions, and a routing that tends to reward placement from tee to green. It is attributed to John Olson/Bill Degonda and traces its origins to 1994, details that place the property within an earlier generation of American course design and give it a profile consistent with many long-established courses of the same era.
