Hitting the Links: Top Golfing Spots in Florida
January 2, 2012 | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBack
Golfing trips are some of the most enjoyable and exciting to plan for you and your friends. There’s just something thrilling that comes from knowing that you get to spend a long weekend with your best pals, while you laugh, chat and reminisce about life. For some, a bad day on the course is better than a great day at the office—no matter where the course is. However, for die-hard golfers, there are certain greens that they are fiercely loyal to.
Whether you are die-hard or not, you cannot deny that some of the best golf courses in the country are found in Florida. With the constant warm and sunny weather, there are golf links available for nearly any level of player to enjoy.
Of course, if you are traveling with your family, they might not agree to a vacation based solely on time out on the course, so you will like the fact that Florida has plenty for them to do while you get some time getting to know the courses in the area where you are vacationing. Be sure to call ahead so that you know what courses are open when you visit.
Below are just a few of the Sunshine State’s most desirable golf courses for you to enjoy. If you are strategic, you can book a stay at Extended Stay Hotels, and choose one that is centralized so that you enjoy a few different greens on the same trip.
1. Jacaranda Golf Club – Plantation, Florida
This is one of the more attractive Southern Florida golf courses because of its beautiful design. This is not a golf course for amateurs, however; some of the most challenging parts of this course include the same backdrop that makes it so aesthetically appealing. Work on your accuracy while trying to get your golf ball on the shortened landing and tough complexes on the Jacaranda Golf Club.
2. Celebration Golf Club – Celebration, Florida
There are plenty of reasons to like this golf club. The course was co-designed by golf course architectural designers that are admired around the world, and is the host of several of Florida’s top golfing events throughout the year. One of the biggest benefits of the Celebration Golf Club is its close proximity to some of Florida’s family parks and attractions, which is ideal for families that want to take time for the whole family to have fun together. Plan a few days with the family at Disneyworld, Universal Studios or Sea World, and then spend a day or two out on the greens as your family recovers from all the fun.
3. Mill Cove Golf Club – Jacksonville, Florida
Players of this Arnold Palmer designed golf course are constantly raving about the rolling greens and lovely layout design. This golf course is ideal for beginners as well as advanced golfers who are looking to hone in specific parts of their game. If you need to work on your handicap, take a look at the private golf lessons and clinics offered here, or if you are interested in just relaxing, enjoy a drink at the clubhouse’s restaurant after a hard day of putting around the course.
