A tee in paradise is possible in Florida 365 days a year. And not only because the Sunny State Florida magically attracts golfers from all over the world with 330 days of sunshine per year, but also because the selection is almost unrivaled with nearly 1,800 wonderful courses. You will find on all golf courses in Florida the typical Florida elements, water and sand, more pronounced than on European courses. In addition, the quality of the well-kept and nature-embedded fairways and greens and the service in the clubs is considered unique. In Florida, you can also play golf affordably where celebrities like Tiger Woods are at home.
Florida can be divided into six golf regions. The two regions Tampa and Naples are considered the most familiar or newest in Florida. The Orlando area is considered the most fanciful, the courses around Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale the most exclusive. Then there is the region around Miami, which is considered the largest.
The best travel time for golfing in Florida is from mid-September to late May. Here the temperatures are most comfortable (between 25 and 32 degrees Celsius) and the likelihood of a thunderstorm is the lowest. The green fees in Florida usually range between $20 and $80 (including cart), although courses can of course also be played where the green fee can extend up to $300. Most Florida golf courses are considered public clubs where no proof of HCP is required. Here is also the American casualness and coziness to be found, since in the US golf is considered a popular sport. In addition, there are "semi-private" clubs in Florida. Here a reservation of tee time is required and the green fee can be between 50 and 150 dollars (including cart). If you are looking for something more elite, you will find it in the private clubs, but as described above, you have to expect a green fee of up to $300.
If you have the opportunity to form a flight with locals, we can only recommend you take advantage of this. The Americans are very open-minded, they bring you incredible appreciation because they know that English is probably not your native language and there are few Americans who speak a second language. Thus, not the perfectly spoken English is important, but the openness and friendliness. You will receive priceless tips from American flight partners. Likewise, it does not matter to an American what handicap you play, because for them communication is much more interesting. Basically, you can expect to play better on Florida's golf courses than your handicap, as the fairways are very generously designed.
