GREAT DAY AT SOUTHERN HILLS
We had 33 groups enjoy a wonderful day at the fabulous and tremendously well-conditioned and private Southern Hills Plantation golf course. The Pete Dye design was definitely in tournament ready condition! The next event at Southern Hills Plantation is Dec 16. It should be available soon for registration.
WE RECOMMENT A GHIN HANDICAP FOR 2026
We will be hosting a minimum of 4 competitive individual stroke play events for Paradise members that will require a GHIN handicap including a club championship, a member guest, a member-member and a member-member-member. We offer that service for $42+tax for year for Paradise members, $60+tax for non members.
UPDATE FOR COMBO PURCHASERS THAT INCLUDED A WINTER MEMBERSHIP
We have been receiving many inquiries from those Paradise members that purchased a combo that included a winter membership. The previous owner offered the combo with the summer membership portion including a free round of golf but not the winter membership. As such, the equivalent of that membership is our Silver Membership category. We are offering an upgrade opportunity to the gold category or the platinum category.
WINTER MEMBERSHIPS OFFERING UPDATE!
Winter memberships are now available for purchase! 👉View Membership Options
Don’t forget: You can be a Pepper too!
PREFERRED TEE TIMES FOR PLATINUM MEMBERS FOR OUR UPCOMING WINTER MEMBERSHIP
We’ve partnered with at least four private clubs in the West Central Florida area to provide tee times for Platinum-level Paradise members. Only Platinum members will be able to take advantage of booking these tee times at preferred rates, in addition to gaining access to some outstanding clubs.
Details, including the list of clubs, tee time availability, cost per round, and more, will be shared with Platinum members when the winter season begins.
