Quick Summary: Sports in Lake Nona
The USTA National Campus is the headline — 100 courts, and open to the public, not members only. Beyond tennis there are three golf courses at three access levels, a dense cluster of boutique fitness studios, courts and fields inside the neighborhood parks, trails through preserve land, and open water for swimming and wakeboarding.
How much of it you pay for depends on where you buy. Many Lake Nona neighborhoods include fitness centers, pools and courts in the HOA amenities, so the same activity can cost nothing in one community and a club membership in another.
- 100 USTA Courts
- 3 Golf Courses
- 10+ Fitness Studios
- Public Access
Lake Nona is built for people who move. The USTA National Campus sits at the center of it, but the reach goes well past tennis: three golf courses, a wall of boutique fitness studios, courts and fields tucked into the neighborhood parks, trails through preserve land, and open water for swimming and boarding. Whatever your sport, there's a place to play it within a short drive. No matter your athletic ability, you'll find your game.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the public play tennis at the USTA National Campus?
Yes. The USTA National Campus is a public-access facility with courts, programs, and clinics open to players beyond elite competition — not a members-only training center.
What golf options does Lake Nona have?
Three, at different access levels: Lake Nona Golf & Country Club (private), Eagle Creek Golf Club (semi-private), and North Shore Golf Club (public).
Where can I swim laps near Lake Nona?
The Lake Nona Performance Club has an indoor lap pool and the Lake Nona YMCA has an outdoor one. For open-water swimming and wakeboarding, Lake Nona Adventure Park and Moss Park are the spots.
Are there youth sports programs in Lake Nona?
Yes — soccer academies (including an Orlando City Soccer School program and Eagle Creek Soccer Academy), junior golf, volleyball, and youth training at the YMCA and Lake Nona Performance Club.
Do I need a gym membership to stay active in Lake Nona?
No. Many neighborhoods include their own fitness centers, pools and courts in the HOA amenities, and the trail network, neighborhood parks and the public North Shore Golf Club are open without one. Whether a private club is worth paying for depends heavily on which neighborhood you buy in — the amenities chart shows which communities already include what.
