SUMMER TIME !

Quail and turkey seasons were another huge success!
Plans are already underway for the '26-'27 season. This includes another busy summer of improvements and extensive spring cleaning.
But this doesn't mean that we aren't looking forward to your summer visits! There are lots of things to do at The Gilchrist Club in the summer months. Give us a call to discuss dates.

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.

SUMMER HUNTS

The summer months are a great time to go on a guided hog hunt. If you need to "scratch that hunting itch" then give us a call.





GILCHRIST CLUB SUMMER FUN!

The fishing and hog hunting is great and an Ichetucknee Springs float trip or kayaking the Santa Fe River is always fun and refreshing. We can also arrange a round of golf at some great courses less than an hour away. Consider our Deer Run Conference Center for your corporate meetings and retreats. Give us a call to discuss your dates and itinerary.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET YOUR CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT OR TAKE A FIREARMS SAFETY CLASS?

Gilchrist Club is partnering with Jeffrey Boatright to offer our members firearm safety and self-defense classes.  Jeff's basic pistol course prepares participants for carrying concealed weapons.  This course meets and exceeds the training requirements for the Florida Concealed weapons or firearms license.  For more details, go to NEWS & EVENTS.
