Florida is one of the top golf destinations in the country, with hundreds of courses and a season that never really closes. This directory gathers resort and championship courses across the state so you can plan a golf trip around the right base.
Orlando is the state's golf capital by volume, thanks to resort courses tied to its convention and theme-park scene. The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes and its sister JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes share a Greg Norman course, and Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate runs 45 holes of championship golf. Resort green fees vary widely, from around $50 in the summer off-season to $150 and up during the winter peak, so timing matters as much as the course.
Northeast Florida holds the state's most famous course: TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra near St. Augustine, home of the Players Championship and its island green 17th. On the Atlantic side, The Breakers Palm Beach pairs classic resort golf with oceanfront lodging. For a lighter, family-friendly swing, Topgolf Tampa and Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf in Orlando cover the casual end. Use the Florida travel guide to pick a region, then line up your rounds from there.
Season is everything for Florida golf. Winter (December through April) is peak, with the best weather and the highest rates, and top courses like TPC Sawgrass book out well ahead. Summer brings deep discounts but also heat and near-daily afternoon thunderstorms, so book early tee times (before 8 a.m.) to beat both. Many resorts bundle stay-and-play packages that include rounds with the room.
Golf pairs easily with the rest of a Florida trip. Resort courses sit at hotels and resorts that also put you near the beach, so you can play in the morning and hit the best beaches in Florida in the afternoon. Resort dining is strong too, and the state's restaurants give you plenty of options for the 19th hole. If you want cooler winter play near the coast, read up on the Panhandle before you book.
