About

Shingle Creek Golf Club

Shingle Creek Golf Club gets its name from the historic creek that runs right through its backyard.

The northernmost headwaters of the Everglades, Shingle Creek’s rich history dates back to the early Central Florida settlers who were attracted to the area’s local wildlife, abundant fishing and cypress trees, and the creek which provided mobility. During this period, Shingle Creek was primarily used for logging cypress trees. The trees were transported down the waterway to a nearby mill where they were processed into shingles, hence the name Shingle Creek. A beautiful rich connection to history with a commitment to excellence.
