Palisades Country Club

Overview: Palisades Country Club was an 18-hole Joe Lee parkland course at 16510 Palisades Boulevard in Clermont. Historical course records list par 72 and 7,090 yards from the back tees. This is a historical profile rather than a current play recommendation: Lake County records and current place listings report that the golf course closed and later became inactive.

History: The modern 18-hole course was developed in the early 1990s on the Palisades property, with course directories dating the opening to 1990 and crediting Joe Lee. Lake County meeting records document the golf course closing in 2016. A later environmental assessment says the course became inactive sometime between 2016 and 2022, with vegetation reclaiming former bunkers and cart paths.

Did You Know? The Palisades property has two separate golf-course chapters: a historic country club and golf course established in the late 1920s, followed decades later by the Joe Lee layout represented in this directory record. The older club closed during the Great Depression, making the Clermont name older than the modern course itself.
