Golf in Monticello

Monticello is the county seat of Jefferson County in the Florida Panhandle's Big Bend region, in the canopied hardwood and longleaf pine country between Tallahassee and the Suwannee River. Jefferson Country Club Golf Course is the sole course here, serving a small rural county seat in one of Florida's least-developed counties. No hole-count data is in public records for the course. Jefferson County is known for its canopy roads — state-designated designated highways arched by ancient live oaks — and the agricultural heritage of the old plantation belt that once defined this part of north Florida. The county has maintained a very low population and development density, and the golf market here is modest.
