Our Favorite Golf Resorts in Florida

Florida is filled with hundreds of golf resorts, stunning beaches, an incredible and diverse food scene, and tons of things to see & do. Planning a golf trip to the stunning state could lead to stress quite easily with all of the options. Let us help!

The first step in planning your Florida golf getaway is to figure out which part of Florida matches your style of play. And don’t forget to think about other activities you want to do. For instance, if you want your pick of beach activities when not on the course, then you may want to look at West Palm Beach or Naples. If you want to sneak in a few rounds on a Disney vacation, consider Orlando. We have hotel options and golf packages for both! Check out a full list of our 3-day/2-round golf packages here: Florida Golf Packages (and keep in mind that these are completely customizable!).
