Golf -- Within a 15-mile radius from Lakeside Inn the links of half a dozen golf courses spread like emerald welcome mats. Our reception staff will be happy to help you with your arrangements at these fine nearby courses.

The Country Club of Mount Dora -- Only five minutes from the Inn, it features well- manicured greens protected by bunkers and framed with magnificent oaks and pines. Fourteen of the 18 holes offer dramatic lake views to enhance the strategically placed fairway bunkers and tree-lined fairways.

Deer Island Golf Club -- In neighboring Tavares, Deer Island's par-72 championship course is set against a nature preserve and lakefront. Its chipping green, 9-hole putting green and grass range occupy a 400-acre island facing Mount Dora. Nearly each of the 18 holes challenge and delight players with water.

Black Bear Golf Club -- Offering video lessons and the Computer Coach, the latest in golf instruction technology, Black Bear lies a mere 11 miles from Lakeside Inn in Eustis.
