Opened in 1990, the course was designed by Jerry Pate & Bob Cupp and restored in 2008 by the Jerry Pate Design Group. The greens were converted to "Champion" ultra-dwarf Bermuda grass, the tee boxes were rebuilt, and the entire course underwent irrigation, drainage, bunkerwork and beautification changes.
While members enjoy many traditional events, the Club also has a history of hosting professional tournaments. Currently a host site for PGA Tour's Web.com Qualifying, stage one, Grasslands was also the site of the former Nike, now Web.Com Tour, event the "Lakeland Classic" and the NFPGA Tour & Club Professional Invitational. Our distinguished golfing members include two Champions Tour and one LPGA Tour player. Golf Digest Magazine has rated Grasslands as one of the top clubs in the nation with the "Best Players".
