Golf, FL
Golf wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Golf at the 53rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 235 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Golf at the 62nd national percentile — 10 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
235 buildings are counted in Golf, and 69.8% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 30.2% rated Minimal.
Where Golf ranks
Inside Florida, Golf sits at just the 6th percentile even though it scores 53rd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Golf ranks 14,964 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,622 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 902 of 955 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Golf
At the 53rd national percentile, Golf rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Golf
Golf's 69.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
