We've been doing our research online to get some idea about all the features and specs and in the end we went to several shops in the city. Some of those salesmen were just horrible and some were very honest and knowledgable. In the end we came home with a Breville ESP8XL cafe roma espresso machine!

Best Golf Courses in Florida

Florida is such a gifted state as it boasts of wonderful weather condition all year long. This is actually the main reason why golf resorts seem to be like seeds sprouting from everywhere. Do you remember why your grandparents chose to buy a vacation house in Florida? Most elderly from all corners of the country actually flock to Florida during winter season for them to escape the extreme cold weather. It works pretty much the same with golfers as a matter of fact.

While there are golf courses that are located in the colder portions of the country, Florida remains to be the best choice unless you define fun by playing golf in thick snow. Do you want to know another reason why Florida remains one of the best golf course destinations? Because it is famous for weird and unexpected stories and that definitely brings a jolt of excitement to anyone.

Take for example the recent news about a humongous alligator that decided to hang out right next to a hole. While this certainly seems entertaining to others, golfers who frequently visit various Florida golf courses will say that it is not new. In fact, some say that it is a usual occurrence.

So if you are up for some golfing adventure with family or friends, here are some of the best golf courses in Florida that you may want to put on your bucket list:

1.     Streamsong Resort Red

Ask anyone who has been here and they will tell you right away that this is definitely the best golf course in Florida. However, it is a little tricky to find given that it is said to be located in the middle of nowhere because nature seems to hide it well though truth is this covers a pretty much large area in Streamsong.

The golf course is thoroughly surrounded by nature. It is designed by renowned architects Tom Doak, Bill Coore, and Ben Crenshaw who are probably the best there is as far as designing golf courses is concerned.

Every hole is different that this promises to give anyone a golf experience like no other golf course or resort in Florida can. It is no wonder that this still is in the list of the top 100 golf courses in the whole United States as per Golf Magazine.

2.     TPC Sawgrass

3.     World Woods Golf Club, Pine Barrens

Some say that if you want to test your golfing skills, the Pine Barrens golf club is the best course to go to. There are no lavish services but the outstanding layout and greens will surely make your jaw drop. Designed by Thomas Fazio, he claims that this indeed is his best work throughout his career.

For some experienced golfers, this has got to be one of the best practice facilities in the world. Golf Digest agrees as it ranked the World Woods Golf Club the #1 golf course in the United States.

Tagged as every golfer’s paradise, this actually offers access to two of the top 10 public access golf courses in Florida, thus, giving golfers more options. To convince you more, it is worth noting that Scott Wyckoff, a PGA member, heads all the activities and even provides golf instructions.

4.     PGA National Golf Club Resort, Palm Beach Gardens

This is the place where legends and luxury meet. After having undergone a multimillion-dollar renovation, the Palm Beach Gardens PGA National Golf Club Resort is more than ready to take your hearts out.

If you want to get a glimpse of some golf champions, then book your golf vacation in February when the PGA Tour Honda Classic still holds their competition annually. What is even better is that this is located just 20 minutes from the Palm Beach International Airport.

5.     Innisbrook, A Salamander Golf & Spa Resort, Copperhead

This is yet another newly renovated resort located at Tampa Bay, Florida which perfectly combines comfort, convenience, and familiarity. At the Innisbrook golf course, you are about to come into reality of not just one-of-a-kind experience but the southern way of living as well.

Playing golf in Florida has never been this exciting with all the different variety of activities that the golf courses now offer. If you used to go at these resorts alone or with friends because your wife and kids basically have nothing to do, bring them all the next time you come because there is surely an activity for each member of the family. Even if you practise your putting skills while they are enjoying themselves elsewhere, having a family vacation all together can be really great!
