Join us for our monthly Golf Outing at Cimarrone Golf Club!

Established in 1988, Cimarrone is a semi private club whose mission is to provide a private club experience for its members and guests.

The golf course is a David Poselthwait championship design that meanders through the pine forests and thick marshlands of North Florida. The 6,900 yard layout plays along a mildly rolling terrain with significant fairway and green side mounds and plentiful water hazards. Rated 4 stars out of five by Golf Digest Places to Play, the course was chosen as one of the Top 100 Golf Courses in Florida.
