Turtle Mound is one of 40 nine hole executive golf courses in The Villages, Florida. It is a par 27 with yardage of 804 to 1323 depending on the player's choice of tee. Each hole is a par three. Golf the Villages lists this as a
playablity rating of 1 on a 1 to 4 scale. ("1" is friendliest; "4" is most challenging.)
The focus is on fun at Turtle Mound. Everyone can enjoy a round here, but it is designed to be a course that is relatively easy for the beginning player. Fairways are forgiving and the course plays fairly short, even from the rear tees. A much-talked about hole on Turtle Mound is the par 3 number four. First, a substantial carry over water is required and that shot must then find a small green protected in front by a large, inviting bunker. The good news is, there are multiple tee boxes that can be used that change the angle of attack on number four. Play smart! Turtle Mound is a par 27 course that beginners will appreciate..
