Arnold Palmer’s design
Palmers Legends Country Club is the entry point to Palmers Legends Championship Golf Course. True to its name, the course was designed with Arnold Palmer.

These views are enjoyed by those golfing and those being served fine cuisine at the country club restaurant, which has outdoor seating and wall-to-wall windows. For a quick dip in the pool or a casual neighborhood hangout, the Winfred Pool is within walking distance. It has set-ups for bocce, shuffleboard and horseshoes, but for more athletic amenities, residents just ride a mile to Bridgeport Recreation Center.

Dancing in the rain by Lake Sumter
During the day, Lake Sumter Landing Market Square is full of people dining, shopping and running errands. The Flying Biscuit Cafe is a popular spot that serves all-day breakfast. Cody's Original Roadhouse takes advantage of its lakeside location. But even from its waterfront patio, folks can still watch a game on a nearby flat-screen. “This is very much a pet-friendly community,” Caulk says. “You can sit outside so your dog can be at the table with you.” Around 5 p.m., the square becomes more of a venue, hosting live entertainment every night by the boardwalk. “Some bands you really have to get there early for,” Caulk says. “Because there won’t be a seat left. They’ll cancel for inclement weather, but if it’s just a drizzle, the band keeps playing and people are out dancing in the rain.” From country rock to disco, the variety of music played at the square is sure to get villagers moving. And when it comes to errands, Winn-Dixie, medical practices, banks and other convenient businesses are on the square’s fringes.
Winifred Villagers enjoy live entertainment at Lake Sumter Landing 365 nights a year.
