Golf in Gainesville

Gainesville is a university city in Alachua County in north-central Florida, the home of the University of Florida and the commercial hub for a broad north Florida region. Five courses serve the city — Gainesville Country Club, Haile Plantation Golf and Country Club, Ironwood Golf Course, Mark Bostick Golf Course, and Meadowbrook Golf Club — in a market sustained by the large university population, the long-standing residential base, and the broad regional draw of this inland city. No hole-count data is in public records for Gainesville Country Club, Ironwood, or Meadowbrook. The University of Florida, UF Health, and the surrounding research and medical infrastructure create a large and diverse permanent workforce that sustains year-round golf demand.
