Florida Golf Courses, Packages and Vacation Specials
Florida has more than 1,400 golf courses to choose from, with the top three golf vacation destinations being Naples, Fort Myers and Orlando. Florida’s warm weather makes the Sunshine State an obvious choice for a golf escape, but another important reason why the best of the best play in Florida is that there are so many diverse choices for things to do off the green.

With the cultural offerings that Naples is known for plus the natural surroundings of the white sand beaches on the Gulf of Mexico, Naples entices golfers and non-golfers alike. Guests can play on a championship golf course and enjoy all of the amenities one would expect at a world class resort. The exclusive resort community of Marco Island is only a few minutes away from Naples.
Like the Naples golf courses, the Fort Myers courses are open year-round and are not crowded between May and October, during the peak heat of Florida’s summer season. Golf history is firmly entrenched in Fort Myers; the Fort Myers Country Club hosted the Senior PGA Tournament in 1942. There are plenty of modern golf resorts in Fort Myers as well, with courses framed by native pine and cypress trees, and laced with lakes and waterways.
Orlando has such a great reputation for golf that Tiger Woods even lived here for several years. Orlando is home to two premier 18-hole championship golf courses designed by accomplished architect and golfer, Greg Norman. Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill course is one of the most popular courses on the PGA Tour, so Woods gets a chance to revisit his old stomping grounds when he plays in tournaments here. Best of all, a golf escape vacation in Orlando means access to everything that Orlando has to offer—Walt Disney World, Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure, and SeaWorld/Discovery Cove/Aquatica, just to name a few.
For anyone who has ever considered a golf escape vacation, look no further than the Sunshine State for a fantastic combination of championship golf, beachfront recreation, and theme park thrills all in one destination.
