Jackson County - Florida's Best Kept Secret!

Hidden in the heart of Northwest Florida's panhandle, Jackson County holds pristine natural treasures and a tradition of southern charm and hospitality. It is a part of Florida that enjoys the benefits of a long-standing agreement between Mother Nature and Father Time - an agreement to preserve The Very Nature of Florida.

We enjoy year-round outdoor activities such as swimming, fishing, boating, water skiing, hunting, golf, hiking, bicycling, horseback riding and many more great pastimes. Plan your vacation around our exciting fun.

Visit the Best Kept Secret of Northwest Florida and enjoy!

Golfing In Jackson County

Florida Caverns Golf Course

(Public, 18 holes, $11.00 - $9.00) This course features small, elevated greens. The terrain is rolling, so you can expect some interesting lies in the fairways. The course is located next to a state park, so squirrels and deer are common scenery. The green fees shown are good for all-day play. Walking the course is allowed on weekdays and during designated hours on weekends.

Meandering streams and rivers, crystal clear springs, vast lakes and quiet ponds endlessly feed the lush scenery, abundant wildlife and the dreams of sportsmen and nature lovers everywhere.
