Fort Meade

Located in Homeland, just a couple miles north of town off U.S. 17.

An $80 million resort built by the phosphate mining company Mosaic on reclaimed land where they once operated a strip mine. The resort features two 72-par golf courses (known as "Red" and "Blue"). The clubhouse has a fine restaurant, conference facilities, and 12 guest rooms. The courses & clubhouse opened in December 2012. The remainder of the resort will open towards the end of 2013 and will include a 216-room upscale hotel, spa, and shooting range. The hope of the builders and local tourism officials is that this will become a world-renowned resort and be able to host professional tournaments. Prices will be higher during the winter and lower in the summer, when the heat, humidity, and regular thunderstorms will make a day of golfing less pleasant.

Small park on Peace River. Great spot to launch a canoe or kayak on the river.

Boardwalk through oak hammocks.

A 42 ac park along the Peace River. A short trail runs through an oak hammock to the Peace River, where canoes & kayaks can be launched (they must be carried to river from parking area). Aside from the parking area, trail, and cleared canoe/kayak launch, there are no facilities.
