Golf in Florida: Complete Guide
Florida is America's year-round golf paradise. With more courses than any other state, perpetual sunshine, and a golf culture that permeates every corner from the Panhandle to the Keys, the Sunshine State is where America plays golf.
Overview
Florida's flat terrain might seem limiting, but creative architects have turned it into an advantage — from Streamsong's moonscape former phosphate mines to Pete Dye's island greens.
