January Newsletter

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

We hope your 2026 New Year's resolutions include spending more time at The Gilchrist Club!
Here are a few things you can do to make your experience the best it can be. Please try to be on schedule when it comes to activities, van departures to the fields, meal seating times, etc.
In addition, it would be a tremendous help if you could have your guests get their hunting licenses prior to your visit. It's also a good idea to have your guests go to the hunting page of our website and watch the safety video. Especially if they are a new hunter.
All of these suggestions are a way you can assist us in making everyone's experience the absolute best it can be!
Many of you are now aware of the addition of Oak Tree Landing airstrip as a landing site. This 4,360' x 75' asphalt airstrip is only 15 minutes from the club. Detailed information is available on request.

NEW BOAT DOCK

^{The new boat dock is complete and includes new walk-ways on both sides of the boat ramp. This is the final phase of our 2025 capital improvements projects. We can't wait for you to see all of the other improvements!}

GILCHRIST CLUB SUMMER FUN!

We know it's only January, but it's a great time to start thinking about your summer visits to The Gilchrist Club. The fishing is great and an Ichetucknee Springs float trip is always fun and refreshing. We can also arrange a round of golf at the exclusive Club Adena Golf Club less than an hour away.
