Old Range Golf Course

The Old Orange Course is more than a championship golf course.
As designed by Bob Cupp, it embellishes the natural landscape. Waterways are undisturbed, tree lines are preserved and players tee off amongst a canopy of live oaks. This devotion to natural surroundings follows the examples of famed courses like Oakmont and Pinehurst and recaptures the 'Golden Era' of golf dating back to the 1920s.

Whispering Oak Golf Course

Verandah's new Whispering Oak Course, is designed by golf's famous dynasty - Jack Nicklaus & Jack Nicklaus II. This breathtaking new challenge features compact greens that inspire every golfer to play like a champion.

River House Restaurant

Embracing the region's historic ties to the river, Verandah's 12,000-square-foot River House serves as both the focal point of River Village and the community's clubhouse.

Orange River

The charming Orange River is one of Verandah's most appealing natural attractions. We respect its history and admire its beauty. Stroll along the wooden trails on the riverbank, or launch a kayak on a downstream adventure. The Orange River is home to the elusive manatee, gopher tortoises, and all manner of wading birds. There's no better place to spend an afternoon observing them.

Blossom's

Meet friends and make new ones in this casual establishment just steps from the Boat House. Residents make themselves at home on screened-in porches and when they're not playing board games, they're simply enjoying the panorama of the ever-changing river or launching a canoe adventure. It's a great spot to grab a bite before a nature hike or to rejuvenate after paddling down river.

Tennis & Fitness Center
