TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- SouthWood Golf Club – the award-winning public course at the heart of one of Tallahassee’s most comprehensively designed communities – announces its traditionally-designed guest cottages, “The Cottages at SouthWood,” are available to golfers for overnight and stay-and-play accommodations.
Located across the lawn from the historic SouthWood House on a hill overlooking the community, the five cottages feature living rooms with gas fireplaces, efficiency kitchens, full baths, cozy bedrooms with cable television and traditional Southern front porches with rocking chairs. Three cottages feature single king-size beds, while two have queen-size beds (2) for double occupancy.
Located less than one mile from SouthWood Golf Club, guests have easy, convenient access to the Gene Bates/Fred Couples designed golf course that was recently voted the “Best of Tallahassee” by Tallahassee magazine. Clustered amid centuries-old, Spanish moss-draped live oaks, the cottages open up to an expansive grass lawn that is connected to the SouthWood House via a network of brick sidewalks.
The cottages are ideal for a couples’ getaway or a small golf group of up to eight players. As the official golf course of the Florida State Seminoles men’s and women’s golf teams, and given SouthWood’s proximity to campus, the cottages are also an excellent option for alumni and fans visiting for athletic events.
The cottage names and occupancies:
* Camellia – double occupancy
* Dogwood – single occupancy
* Magnolia – double occupancy
* Morning Glory – single occupancy
* Sweet Pea – single occupancy
“We are excited to offer The Cottages at SouthWood to golfers and to showcase this element of the SouthWood community,” says Beth Murphy, SouthWood Golf Club’s General Manager. “The cottages provide a true stay-and-play option for visitors to Tallahassee or a quiet respite for residents.”
