Lake Ashton Golf Club (East)

Overview: The East Course at Lake Ashton Golf Club is an 18-hole private community layout in the Lake Wales and Winter Haven area. Current district material lists par 71 and 6,306 yards from the longest tees, while the course's narrow routing uses lakes, ponds and residential corridors to make accuracy more important than sheer length. Larry Maxwell and Mark Schrieber are credited in the course-management material, with other history records identifying Maxwell as the original developer and designer.

History: The East Course opened in 2001 as part of Lake Ashton's original 36-hole community golf facility. A National Golf Foundation review records Larry Maxwell as the original designer and describes the course as built around the community's extensive lakefront. Other records use par 70 and a 5,996-yard regular back-tee figure, while later district material lists par 71 and 6,306 yards; the latter is stored as the current course specification.

Did You Know? The club's current FAQ identifies an island green on the East Course's 12th hole. That feature fits the broader design strategy: the course uses the surrounding lakes and ponds as active visual and strategic elements throughout the round.
