Project Description

Schalamar Creek Golf and Country Club is a premier 55+ active adult community in Auburndale, Florida, offering an exceptional blend of resort-style living and world-class amenities. Established by the Knapp family, Schalamar Creek stands as a testament to visionary planning, quality craftsmanship, and a commitment to excellence in active adult living. Since its inception, the community has flourished into one of Central Florida’s most sought-after retirement destinations.

This award-winning community features 876 beautifully designed manufactured homes, providing residents with a vibrant and welcoming neighborhood. Schalamar Creek is also home to an 18-hole championship golf course, designed by renowned golf course architect Ron Garl. The par-72 course, set amidst picturesque rolling greens and lush landscapes, offers a challenging yet enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels.

Recognized nationally, Schalamar Creek Golf and Country Club has twice been awarded “#1 Community of the Year,” a distinction given among more than 22,000 communities nationwide. This prestigious recognition highlights the unparalleled lifestyle, strong sense of community, and top-tier amenities that make Schalamar Creek a standout among active adult communities.

Beyond its renowned golf course, Schalamar Creek offers residents a state-of-the-art clubhouse, dining, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, a resort-style swimming pool, and a variety of social and recreational activities. The community fosters a lifestyle of engagement, relaxation, and active living.

After years of growth and development under the Knapp family’s stewardship, Schalamar Creek was eventually sold, continuing its legacy under new ownership. Today, it remains a thriving, premier 55+ destination where residents enjoy an enriched, active lifestyle in a beautifully maintained setting.
