A golfing community centered around a Ron Garl designed course
There are many reasons residents enjoy Golf Hammock's scenic Sebring location. The 55-plus, master-planned community's lush fairways and ponds are practically in every neighbor's backyard, along with two of Sebring's largest lakes and the swamps and marshes of Highlands Hammock State Park. The idea for this golfing community came from Thomas Wohl, a prominent civil servant and general contractor residing in Sebring. His vision consisted of several long stretches of bridle paths with roughly 770 homes alongside them. With the help of well-known golf architect Ron Garl, the 18-hole Championship course was developed, followed by the rapid construction of residences. The rest of Sebring is a short drive away on US Highway 27 – which is the only main throughway and circles around Lake Jackson, leading to the Downtown Sebring Historic District. A majority of the highest-rated restaurants and large grocery stores are also along the highway, and only a few miles away is the famous Sebring International Raceway. As one of the state's smallest regions, the surrounding Sebring community is relatively small, but its population has continuously grown since COVID-19. Mayor John Shoop, who was elected in 2014, notes that there about 11,000 people in Sebring and most still know and recognize each other around the lake. While it might still feel like a small town, its location in central Florida means that Orlando, Disney World and Universal Studios, along with Tampa and Clearwater to the west, are close enough for a day or weekend trip.
Sebring's largest lake is Lake Jackson and is a boater's dream.
The Golf Hammock Golf Course is a centerpiece in the community.

From Mediterranean-influenced abodes and identical midcentury homes
Golf Hammock is a deed-restricted community with private roads lined by Spanish moss-adorned trees and cabbage palms. While architecture varies widely – as homes often steal inspiration from several styles – they share similar bright green, manicured lawns and a location by the fairways or one of several small ponds. A few streets showcase rows of identical properties, like those in Cormorant Point on the neighborhood's southeastern side. Both the single-family and attached midcentury-inspired homes share stucco and stone exteriors, single-car garages painted in the same shade of orange and a price range of $200,000 to $300,000. Cormorant Point's stately neighbor, Golf Patio Villas, gravitates towards the Mediterranean Revival style with red clay roofs and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living with patios, pools and terraces. Most homes in Golf Patio Villas generally offer 2,000 to 3,000 square feet and a price range of $350,000 to $450,000. However, a few 1,100 to 1,300-square-foot properties sit along Golf Hammock Drive and fall between $175,000 and $200,000. Golf Hammock's homeowner's association fees fund lawn maintenance, community events and amenities. The latter includes the membership-only Golf Hammock Golf Club and the Golf Hammock Activity Center, which hosts regular game nights and book club meetings.
Cormorant Point has attached townhomes priced in the mid $200,000's to $300,000's.
Many of the single-family homes in Golf Hammock are valued from the $350,000-$450,000 range.

Nature is within reach of Golf Hammock's front steps
The heart of this master-planned community is the Golf Hammock Golf and Country Club, an 18-hole Championship course designed by the renowned architect Ron Garl. Sebring's most popular park is Highlands Hammock State Park, which neighbors Golf Hammock. The 9,000-acre park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as it opened four years before the Florida state park system. A variety of native wildlife, including alligators and white-tailed deer, reside here and can be spotted along any of the nine trails while on horseback, bicycle or on foot. Highlands Hammock State Park is a part of the Great Florida Birding Trail, a popular destination for birding enthusiasts, and also come to the Florida Civilian Conservation Corps Museum. Hammock State Park is believed to have oak trees over a thousand years old, which make them some of the largest in the state. There are over 100 lakes throughout Sebring. The most popular option is Lake Jackson, often populated by boats, jet skis, kayaks and innertubes. Others enjoy resting on the lake's sandy white beaches. At almost 30,000 acres, Lake Istokpoga is one of the largest lakes in Florida, accented by draping cypress trees and oat hammocks. Fishing is a popular pastime as the water is rife with trophy bass and bluegill.
Highlands Hammock State Park is right down the street from the Golf Hammock neighborhood.
Homes sit on the shores of Lake Jackson with long docks to boat houses.

A growing selection of small businesses outnumbers Sebring's department stores
Membership holders can look to the on-site Golf Hammock Pro Shop for all things golf. If they forget necessities like gloves, it's conveniently located next to the fairways. Pedro's Bar and Grill is also situated in the middle of the neighborhood, so a quick bite to eat is within a short walk or golf cart ride. Publix and Walmart are 5 miles from home and located right off the highway. While Sebring offers plenty of local shops and eateries, the area needs brand-name retail options. Sebring is also known as "The City on the Circle" as its streets branch out from a main circular community park, shaded by oaks clothed with Spanish moss. Sebring Downtown Historic District is home to many local boutiques, shops and gourmet restaurants and many received a facelift during an episode of HGTV's Hometown Makeover recorded in February 2024. Shoop adds that more mom and pops continue to open and the restoration efforts have been a welcomed change in town. Supporting local businesses is a common practice for locals whose preference is shopping downtown for gifts rather than hunting down a department store. Local and chain restaurants – like Sonny's BBQ and Cowpoke's Watering Hole – can be found about 5 miles away along US Highway 27, as well as a Walmart, Publix and ALDI.

Getting in and around Golf Hammock
While car-dependent, Golf Hammock residents can walk, ride bikes and drive around on golf carts. Major roadways include US Highway 27, which grants access to the rest of the state. Secondary arteries include State Road 64 and State Road 66. Golf Hammock is 99 miles from Tampa and 95 miles from Fort Myers, which includes the closest international airports. As a result of Sebring's growth, congestion on US Highway 27 has worsened and Shoop says the city is aware and planning future improvements to the city's only major throughway. Locals can hop on Amtrak via The Sebring Station, located in the Sebring Downtown Historic District. The closest medical campus is Highlands Regional Medical Center, about 6 miles away.

Important things to know
Sebring is not immune to the impact of Florida's hurricane season; however, due to its location in the middle of the state, the area does not get it as hard as coastal cities like Fort Myers. "We've been through enough of them; we know what to do." Shoop is confident in Sebring's natural disaster plan, which includes an active EMS department, recent grants for additional generators and improvements to harden public buildings. "We make sure the hospitals get power first if it goes out," Shoop adds. Additionally, the citrus industry has been severely impacted by Greening, a bacterial infection that can kill a citrus tree within a few years. There is currently no cure. "It's taken a toll on the economy over the last ten years," Shoop says and notes that Sebring continues to improve and grow despite this hurdle.
