About Chiefland Golf & Country Club
Chiefland Golf & Country Club sits at the western edge of Florida's Nature Coast, making it one of the more remote options in the region and a drive for golfers coming from surrounding communities.
The layout plays tougher than first impressions suggest, with maintained greens and sand traps throughout. The club is known locally as the "Home of the Rye Grass," a reference to the overseeding that keeps its greens and fairways green.
