Harmony Golf Preserve: A Hidden Gem in Central Florida

A truly unforgettable golfing experience awaits at Harmony Golf Preserve. With its stunning natural beauty, challenging layout, and commitment to sustainability, it is one of Florida’s most popular golf venues. Harmony Golf Preserve is a challenging and rewarding course that will leave a lasting impression offering players a memorable experience.

As a Johnny Miller Signature Design Course, Harmony Golf Preserve maintains the highest level of environmental quality. With a stunning combination of holes that wind through wetlands, lakes, and natural preserves, the course is designated as a “preserve” and a certified AudubonCooperative Sanctuary.

In addition to its natural beauty and environmental sustainability, the Harmony Golf Preserve is also known for its outstanding facilities and amenities. In addition to a pro shop, locker rooms, and restaurant, the clubhouse offers a variety of amenities and services and a variety of programs for beginners and experienced players.

A Memorable Golf Experience

At Harmony, there aren’t any holes that won’t leave a lasting impression. but to me, Number Two is an all-time favorite due to the risk-reward opportunity. After a fairly routine opening hole, number two is the start of a three-hole loop around a lake that provides an introduction to what the course has to offer.

Number Two is 373-yard (Blue Tees), par 4 dog-leg right around water. The “safe-play” is to take the water out of play and play the dog-leg. However, this will leave you with a 150-170 yard approach. If you’ve got the distance to carry the water, and the bunkers on the other side, take the risk and go for it. This will leave you a short iron or wedge for your approach to the elevated green.

Another one of my memorable holes is the par-3, Seventeeth. This is a routine 150-yard par 3 (forced carry over water), but what made it memorable to me was playing it with Johnny Miller standing on the tee during the Course Grand Opening Media Day in 2002. The view of the green over the water was intimidating enough, but having Johnny Miller standing there and then asking me if I had the confidence in my shot to know whether I would hit the green made for the most stressful shot I have ever played. But what made it really memorable was watching my ball land on the green; it wasn’t even close to the hole but on the green, which got me a fist bump from Johhny Miller and a never-forgotten boost in my confidence.

In conclusion, Harmony Golf Preserve is a true gem in the world of golf, offering a unique and unforgettable golf experience. Its challenging and well-maintained course and stunning natural surroundings make it the perfect destination for your next golf getaway. Whether you are a seasoned golfer or just looking for a relaxing escape, Harmony Golf Preserve is a destination you shouldn’t miss.
