Quail Heights Country Club in Lake City, FL
Lake City, Fla., isn't quite the boondocks, but you can see them from here, just across the interstate that rumbles through the western part of town. You can also see part of the 27-hole Quail Heights Country Club from I-75, and the dull roar of the interstate follows you around a great portion of the course.
It's not the builders' fault; the interstate wasn't here when the golf course opened with 18 holes back in 1972, when this part of Old Florida was country and country wasn't yet cool. The third nine was added in 1994. It's an unimposing, low-key country club that could use some upgrades, particularly around the tee boxes and the (still original) greens. Still, most of the course is in good shape, and it can be a fun, challenging workout - Seve Ballesteros couldn't break 70 when he played a tournament here in 1986.
