About This Organization

Southern Washington County's premier master-planned golf, spring-fed lake, and active retirement community, originally developed by the Deltona Corporation in the early 1970s along State Road 77 roughly 15 miles south of Chipley and 25 miles north of Panama City (ZIP code 32428). Anchored by the resident-run Sunny Hills Civic Association, Inc. (Florida Sunbiz Doc# N03000006407, Active 501(c)(4)/nonprofit corporation, 3681 Gables Boulevard / P.O. Box 641, Chipley, FL 32428), the Sunny Hills Community Center at 4083 Challenger Boulevard, and the championship 18-hole Sunny Hills Golf Club (designed by Gene Sarazen and Ken Venturi at 3634 Country Club Boulevard / 1150 Country Club Blvd, Sunny Hills, FL 32428, (850) 773-3619), Sunny Hills encompasses dozens of freshwater lakes including Boat Lake (with a public sandy beach, swim area, and picnic pavilions) and Gap Lake. Because Washington County has zero (0) Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) Chapter 651 Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), Sunny Hills serves as the county's primary deeded active-adult and retiree single-family home enclave.
