Celebrating Golf and Community in America's Sweetest Town!

The City of Clewiston is proud to celebrate the opening of the 2026–2027 Clewiston Youth Golf League and recognize the Clewiston Golf Course for its continued commitment to growing the game and creating opportunities for young golfers in our community.

Thank you to the golf course staff, organizers, sponsors, volunteers, players, and families for your support and dedication in making this program possible.

Golf is an important part of our community's identity and local heritage. Alongside our connection to Lake Okeechobee and the agricultural traditions that have shaped our city, golf is part of what makes America's Sweetest Town unique. The Clewiston Golf Course is more than a place to play; it is a place where generations connect, friendships grow, and community traditions continue.

We are proud of the role golf plays in our city and look forward to seeing the next generation carry that tradition forward!

Protect Yourself from Dengue: Remember the 4 Ds

Dengue is spread by infected mosquitoes, including the Aedes aegypti, also known as the yellow fever mosquito. Help protect yourself, your family, and our community by following the 4 Ds:

DRAIN standing water around your home and yard.

DRESS in loose, light-colored clothing and long sleeves when possible.

DEFEND your skin by using an EPA-registered insect repellent, such as DEET.

DUSK & DAWN are times when mosquitoes can be especially active, so take extra precautions when spending time outdoors.

A few simple steps can make a difference. Do your part to help keep mosquitoes—and dengue—out of our community.

For more information and additional mosquito prevention tips, visit the City of Clewiston website.
