Orchid Island is nestled on a barrier island between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean. Gorgeous scenery and abundant wildlife add to the special nature of the community. The golf course is a certified Audubon Sanctuary and home to many native species, including the roseate spoonbill and beautiful white pelicans that grace the lake shorelines throughout the course. The community provides sanctuary to hundreds of species of Florida’s migratory birds and animals, including manatees, river otters, armadillos, and herons. In addition to animals, native plant species including palm trees and mangroves can be found throughout Orchid Island. Pristine bodies of water, native wildlife, and warm weather transform this area into a premier golf community.
