Sports Illustrated names Stillwater course ‘Most Innovative’
Stillwater Golf and Country Club, the hallmark of Lennar’s 549-home active adult gated community in St. Johns, was named a top 10 most notable golf course to open in 2022 by Sports Illustrated. Recognized as the “Most Innovative Course Design,” Stillwater is the first new 18-hole layout in Northeast Florida in 20 years.
Designed by renowned architect Bobby Weed, Stillwater’s 18-hole routing includes “loops” of three, six, nine and 12 holes that start and finish near the clubhouse, giving members the freedom to play as their time allows. Players can also enjoy Stillwater’s 16-acre practice facility year-round, with lighted driving range and covered hitting bays equipped with Toptracer Range.
