The other day I stumbled across an article in the paper about  Camp Villages sponsoring fishing at Golfview Lake park for the Village grandchildren.  They had a great shot of  a gazebo at the end of a dock  that extended out into the lake.  Across the lake you could see golfers and I’m sure that is how the name came about.  Curiosity always gets the best of me and with a name like Golfview Lake,  it had to be something that would be fun to see.  The lake seemed quite big beyond the gazebo, so I thought it might be in the area of Orange Blossom Gardens or Silver Lake.   Sure enough I found it on a map and went over to take a look.  What a pretty, pretty spot.  I’m  sure many golfers are familiar with the park,  as they would be looking directly at it as they come down the fairway from the Orange Blossom Hills Country Club.   Also, I’m sure many of you  that have visited the restaurant,  have marveled at the view from the Country Club;  the fairway, the lake and the church steeples in the distance.  In the early evening, with the lights it is spectacular.  I found that  Golfview Lake park gives you a reverse look up the fairway and it is equally as  spectacular.  The park has beautiful Oak trees and picnic benches, and is located by the entrance to the Mark Twain Library, located next to the Paradise Recreation Center.  You can browse through the library, get a book and sit under a tree, enjoy your book, your view and your retirement.  And if it is Thursday and you like crab legs, Orange Blossom Hills Country Club offers all you can eat…they too are spectacular.    To get to the park you can take Avenido Central across Rt.#441 and through the gate, Wales Plaza, take 2nd left on Owen Dr. and follow it down to the left , which will bring you  behind the Paradise Recreation Center.   If you come in the Boone gate, which is the extension of Morse Blvd. across Rt.#441, make a quick right on Paradise Dr, go to lst stop sign, Wales Plaza, go left and then left on Owen Dr.   If you go over the golf cart bridge over Rt.#441, go left pass the the dog park and continue onto Paradise Dr., at stop sign, Wales Plaza go right and then left on Owen.
