The North Central Florida region includes much of the state's Nature Coast and the area known as the Heart of Florida. From the rolling, rural settings of Ocala and Marion County to the rapidly-growing Orlando suburban area around Clermont and southern Lake County, the region offers a wide variety of experiences for both winter and year-around residents.
Interstate 75 and the Florida Turnpike both run through the heart of the region, providing for rapid access to three of the state's largest metropolitan areas - Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa. But a little distance can be a good thing: The area is home to over 70 golf courses, a major National Forest and a number of state parks, recreational areas and wildlife management areas.
The St. Johns River Club is located on the St. Johns River, with 1 mile on the water! Needless to say, we have a marina, docks and boating is a MUST!
The St. Johns River is best know for the FISHING!!!! What a beautiful location to be - right on the river - if you are an avid fisherman or just like to go boating.
St. Augustine and Jacksonville are not far from the St. Johns River Club. The beaches are not more than a 30 minute drive. The World Golf Village is also an approximate 30 minute drive to outstanding golfing. Plus there are many public and private golf courses on the way, not to mention the PGA Hall of Fame in St Augustine, Florida!
