Florida, ‘The Sunshine State’, with its equable climate and mild winters is the undisputed world leader in terms of golf holidays and especially holidays for golfers with their families.
Florida has probably the widest range of golf accommodation in the world. Accommodation ranges from high class golf hotels to budget golf hotels, luxury golf villas with private pools to a golf apartment overlooking the golf course.
As of 2006 Florida offered over 1,600 golf courses all generally excellent and many of which feature in the lists of America’s best. The Marriott Sawgrass, the Marriott Doral Blue Monster, Bay Hill, The PGA National and the Fairmont Turnberry Isle to name but a few.
Golfers on a family holiday are typically drawn towards the bright lights and attractions of Orlando, where the Walt Disney Resort, Universal Studios and Sea World are perfect for kids young and old whilst golf courses such as Omni Orlando, Ginn Reunion and Grand Cypress offer the golfers the very best.
For a more relaxing and perhaps more sophisticated Florida experience, the unspoilt coastline along the Gulf coast around Tampa has emerged as a fantastic option, exuding the charm and hospitality that makes Florida the recurring choice of so many golf holiday visitors. Here golfers are equally spoilt by courses such as The Saddlebrook, TPC Tampa Bay, Eaglebrook and El Diablo.
Whichever part of Florida you choose and no matter whether you want a golf hotel or a luxury golf self-catering apartment it is almost certain that you won’t be disappointed by the accommodation, the weather, the hospitality or the golf.
