Mallard Lake is a manmade freshwater lake in the unincorporated community of Hunter's Creek, in south Orange County, Florida. Originally part the area of the lake and part of the area surrounding the lake was swamp land. The rest was dry land, according to topographical maps. The lake was built in or before the early 1990s to serve two Hunter's Creek communities developed in the 1990s. One is Mallard Cove, on the west and southwest sides of the lake, in which 182 homes were built from 1992 to 1996. The other community is Falcon Pointe, to the northeast, east and southeast sides of Mallard Lake. From 1991 to 1996, 165 homes were built in Falcon Pointe.Another manmade lake is in the area, Lake Talova. It is just to the north of Mallard Lake. Talova Drive is on the strip of land separating the two lakes. A cove on Mallard Lake's south side borders Town Center Boulevard, the area's major thoroughfare. The Hunter's Creek website says the public cannot fish in these lakes or use boats on them. However, Hunter's Creek residents may do so. Neither lake has a boat ramp, so only small boats can be launched.

Father/Son Challenge

The Father/Son Challenge, titled since 2020 as the PNC Championship under a sponsorship agreement with PNC Financial Services, is an annual golf tournament for two-player teams, consisting of PGA Tour and Champions Tour golfers and (usually) their sons. It is played over two days (36 holes) for the Willie Park Trophy, in memory of the father and son British Open champions Willie Park Sr. and Willie Park Jr. The field of twenty teams plays a scramble format. In 2012, the prize fund was $1,000,000; the tournament is jointly owned by IMG and NBC Sports. The qualifying player must have won a major championship or The Players Championship (often touted as the "fifth major") to be eligible for an invitation. The guest team members range from middle school age up to senior citizens, and sometimes include a few with tour golf careers of their own but cannot be a touring professional at the time of the tournament. Venues have been as follows: 1995–1998 Vero Beach, Florida 1999 Twin Eagles Golf Club in Naples, Florida 2000–2002 The Ocean Club in Paradise Island, Bahamas 2003–2008 Champions Gate Golf Resort in Orlando, Florida 2009–2011 not played 2012–present Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, FloridaThe event's name took on a somewhat looser interpretation when Fuzzy Zoeller teamed up with his daughter Gretchen in 2005. In 2013 and 2016, Bernhard Langer played with his daughter Christina, and in 2013, Arnold Palmer played with his grandson Sam Saunders.
