Beyond the Fairways: Things to Do in Sebring After Your Round

When you're not chasing birdies on the Citrus Golf Trail, there's still plenty to enjoy in and around Sebring. This charming central Florida town is packed with off-course adventures, local flavor, and natural beauty, making it the perfect golf getaway destination with a little something extra.

Even if you're not a motorsports fanatic, a visit to Sebring International Raceway is a must. Home to the world-famous 12 Hours of Sebring, this historic track has hosted racing legends since 1952. Check the schedule for upcoming races or events—or just stop by and soak in the atmosphere.

Just minutes from the golf courses, Highlands Hammock State Park offers hiking trails, bike paths, and boardwalks through one of Florida’s oldest state parks. Spot wildlife, take a guided tram tour, or enjoy a peaceful picnic under the canopy of ancient oaks. It’s a perfect way to unwind and explore Florida’s outdoors.

Sebring’s food scene is full of personality. Treat yourself to fresh seafood, locally inspired dishes, and Southern staples at local favorites like Chicanes at Inn on the Lakes. Craving something casual? Head to Cowpoke’s Watering Hole for steaks and live music, or sip craft brews at Faded Bistro & Beer Garden.

Sebring’s downtown district is full of charm, with boutique shops, art galleries, and cozy cafes. Browse for souvenirs, check out local artwork, or catch a community event at Circle Park—a scenic town center that often hosts festivals and farmers markets.

With more than 100 lakes in the area, Sebring is a paradise for anglers and boaters. Spend an afternoon fishing, kayaking, or just relaxing by the water. Lake Jackson and Lake Istokpoga are two popular options for recreation and views.

A trip to the Citrus Golf Trail is about more than great golf—it’s a chance to slow down, explore, and enjoy Florida at your own pace. Whether you stay for a weekend or make it a full vacation, Sebring has the off-course charm to keep you entertained all day long.
