Florida has some of the most beautiful golf courses in the country and a temperate climate that allows you to play all year round. There are numerous courses and accommodations to choose from, depending on which region of Florida you want to visit. Fortunately, there are companies that make their living by finding travelers just the right Florida golf vacation packages, so you don't have to sift through the information on your own. It is best to go into it with a basic idea of what you want, where you want to be and about how much you can afford to spend.
A Par-72 Rating Fit for a Champion Golfer
The Panhandle of Florida is the Northwest portion that sits just below Alabama. No matter where you are in the Panhandle, you are minutes away from the beach. Tallahassee, Fort Walton Beach, Panama City and Pensacola offer a great number of golf courses and hotels to choose from. Bay Point Resort Meadows in Panama City offers two 18-hole golf courses. One is named for golfing great Jack Nicklaus and was recently redesigned to a par-72 rating fit for a champion golfer.
Amelia Island is one of Florida's most beautiful areas, and is within driving distance of downtown Jacksonville. Several packages can be found for Amelia Island, beginning at about $400 per person per night for two nights and two rounds of golf each. If you don't mind being closer to the city, golf packages in the Jacksonville area are substantially less expensive, starting at about $200 per night for two nights and two rounds. You can choose from courses like Cimarrone Golf Club, The Champions Club, Queen's Harbor, St. Johns Golf and Country Club or Windsor Parke.
The World Golf Village in Florida
St. Augustine is home to one of the most popular golf destinations in Florida, World Golf Village. Hall of Fame golf legends have designed the greens and fairways of this course. It is truly a haven for the golf lover. There are several accommodation options offered at the World Golf Village, such as the Renaissance Resort, Laterra Resort & Spa, Grande Villas and Comfort Suites. Packages at the World Golf Village begin at just $138 per person per night, but can range into the thousands depending on what you plan to do. A two week vacation with a round of golf at each course can be around $4,000 per person depending on which hotel you stay.
Put Together Your Own Florida Golf Vacation Package
To find just the right golf vacation packages for you and your family, you can try to put one together on your own or get some assistance from any number of travel agencies specializing in golf getaways. There are internet travel websites that will allow you to select an area of Florida, like West Palm Beach, Naples, Sarasota, Orlando, Daytona and others. From there, you can choose which golf course or courses you would like to play.
You can research each course depending on what features you like. If you are fairly new to the game, you may not want a course that is rated for PGA Championship Par-72 or you could be there awhile. Once you have your courses picked out, just find a nearby hotel or resort with enough to do to occupy the rest of your family while you spend your vacation on the back nine.
