Drive down US 1 through the middle of Marathon and you'd never know that just one block off the highway, sprawled over nearly 135 acres of lush lagoon-linked tropical land, is a first-rate golf, tennis and country club. Sombrero Country Club, with members from all over the United States and indeed all over the world, is one of the best preserved secrets of the unique and magnetic Florida Keys. Sitting 75 miles down the island chain from the Florida mainland and 50 miles this side of Key West, Sombrero Country Club is the only non-residential-development country club in the entire Keys. It was founded as a private club in the early fifties by Stanley Switlik, a Keys pioneer and philanthropist from New Jersey, and it was named after the famed Sombrero Lighthouse, marking the live reefs in the seas off Marathon. The original traditions of quality fun, sport and companionship have been faithfully maintained ever since. Click here to take the video tour! |
