Isleworth Country Club defends their title winning the 64th Club Team Championship at Stonegate Golf Club in Poinciana on May 5-6.     

Isleworth Country Club, in Windermere, posted 127 points in the first round to take a four point advantage heading into the final round of play. In the final round, Isleworth secured 117 points for a 244 total and capture their second consecutive Club Team Championship.
