A True Golfers Paradise

Featuring 54 holes on 3 courses, On Top of the World has plenty of challenging fairways to swing your clubs.  The Tortoise & The Hare and The Links are both par-72, private 18-hole courses open to residents and their guests. Even better, there are no initiation fees or club minimums.

Candler Hills Golf Club, our third course, is semi-private.  With its Palm Springs-style landscape, a state-of-the-art practice facility and the longest par 5 in Florida at 669 yards, Candler Hills is not your typical Florida golf course.  The golf club also features a full driving range and well-stocked pro shop.
