Stillwater has officially arrived on the First Coast golf market. Here's what you need to know about the first new 18-hole design in Northeast Florida since 2002.
In other words, the opportunity to play the first new 18-hole design on the First Coast since Palencia was opened in 2002 is now. All 57 home sites in the first phase are sold and 25 homes remain in the second phase.
“100 percent,” he said. “People have been waiting and waiting for the course to open and the wait’s over. We’re anticipating a big traffic increase. We’ve got the homes and we’re ready to go.” Ironically, the same management company that operates the last 18-hole course to open on the First Coast will operate Stillwater, Hampton Golf.
But Stillwater proved to be especially so, considering protected wetlands and the charge to design a course for a retirement community that was playable to that demographic – yet still could be a firm test to better players. Rather than using railroad ties as bulkheads for water hazards, planks of treated lumber that angle from the playing area to the water, called “laydown walls,” are utilized.
