It's my goal to help you to find the information you need as quickly and as easily as possible: including green fees, tee times, cart and club rentals, number of holes, golf course architect, yardages, slopes, ratings, and the weather, along with local attractions, beaches, restaurants, and hotels close to the action. To make finding things easy, I've split the state into five separate regions:
- Jacksonville and the Northeast Coast: Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra (Sawgrass), the Treasure Coast, Space Coast, Saint Augustine.
- The Northwest Gulf Coast: Panama City, Sand Destin, Destin, and Fort Walton Beach to Pensacola.
- Orlando and Central Florida:: Including Walt Disney World and ChampionsGate.
- Tampa & St Petersburg: Including Clearwater and Crystal Springs<./li>
- The Southeast Atlantic Coast Miami and West Palm Beach : Including PGA National Resort and Doral.
- The Southwest Gulf Coast: Sarasota to Naples : Including Tiburon, Naples Beach & Golf Resort, Ritz-Carlton Naples, and many more.

Play Golf the Year Round in Florida:
All of Florida's golf courses are open the year-round, even in the Northeast - the average mean temperature there is 70 degrees, although I've been in St. Augustine when it hit below freezing. Even so, the courses were open and playable.
The best time to go: The Low Season is Always Best: In South Florida, the low season is from May through October when the courses are rarely crowded.
How to get There:
Four major air terminals, and a dozen regional airports put all of Florida's great courses within easy reach: Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville and Pensacola. Look for the best airline and car rentals using the links below to compare prices on airfares and car rentals of all ratings:
