Florida guide

Florida Golf Destinations

Florida offers year-round golf with distinct regional styles, from resort-heavy Orlando to championship coastal routes.

Best areas for a golf holiday

  • Orlando and Central Florida: high course density and resort convenience.
  • Palm Beach and Treasure Coast: premium private-club style public options.
  • Naples and Southwest Coast: resort golf and relaxed off-course pace.
  • Ponte Vedra and North Florida: championship history and strong value picks.

When to visit

  • November to April: peak season and best weather consistency.
  • May and October: shoulder months with value upside.
  • June to September: lower rates but heat and storm risk.
  • Winter holidays: very strong demand around major resorts.

For best pricing in high season, plan weekday rounds and stay slightly outside resort cores.
