Golfer’s Choice: Best Courses in Florida
By Kyle Moss
Some pretty famous Florida golf courses probably come to mind when you hear the phrase, “best golf courses in Florida.” Tracks like the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, the Bear’s Club, Doral Golf Resort, Bay Hill, Streamsong Resort, and even Orange County National have all made a name for themselves among casual golf fans, not to mention golf enthusiasts.
But no matter where you are in the Sunshine State, from Northwest Florida to Central Florida to South Florida and all the places in between, there is more golf than you can possibly imagine. This includes golf resorts and courses with public access in places like Panama City Beach, the Orlando area, and even downtown Miami.
Whether it’s a Pete Dye design, a golf course done by legends like Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, or the result of some other golf course visionary, Florida golf is often marked by rolling terrain and breathtaking views. And the best part about these quality courses: they are all at your fingertips.
And since some of the top public golf courses in the country all happen to be located in Florida, our friends at GolfPass put together this list of the best golf courses in Florida.
