Dade City is a charming city in the state of Florida perfect for someone who loves a touristy city. Its antique stores and historic architecture are quite popular amongst tourists while the residents simply enjoy the history and heritage associated with the city.
The economy of Dade City has historically been driven by agriculture, especially the citrus fruit and cattle rearing. In recent times, service, retail, and government jobs are slowly taking over. However, agriculture is still a key economic driver and in celebration of this, every year a festival centered around the citrus fruit is held.
Dade City is also famed for its restaurants. It is impossible to pick a favorite and ultimately it depends on one’s personal preference of the kind of food they enjoy most.
Fun things to do, other than walking around the city include visiting the Pioneer Florida Museum and village. The city also has parks for family fun and camping sites for those who enjoy camping.
During the land boom in Florida, Dade City saw the constructions of several country clubs and golf courses. The golf courses and country clubs were seen as key moneymaking opportunities. As a result, the culture of Dade city is very much centered around golf course communities.
Golf course communities get the chance to use the amenities of the nearby country club. That means they get perks and advantages that cannot be accessed by those who do not live in the golf course communities. Perks include a reduced membership fee, access to more amenities and in some cases, 24-hour access. Another considerable advantage is the proximity to the facilities. That means it is easy to maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle since facilities such as gyms, workout centers, and tennis courts are readily available.
Examples of golf court communities include the K-Bar Ranch and Southern Hills. Southern Hills, in particular, enjoys the amenities of the well-known Pete Dye Golf Course.
