Past the concrete and the crowds is a special place where Florida still exists as nature meant for it to be. It is a landscape unchanged since the days of de Leon and Osceola, where gnarled cypress rises up from virgin swamps, and the uplands are carpeted with lush native grasses.
We have 4175 Acres, 2 Clay Courses, and an 8000 Sq. Ft. Guest Lodge, which makes every trip to Quail Creek feels like a rejuvenating mini getaway.
Young Guns of Quail Creek is a nationally recognized program that started in 2015 with only three kids. We now have over 100 kids from ten different counties in Florida.
