GOLF IN FLORIDA

For many of our guests, one of the reasons is the availability of so many golf courses. What makes is so good is the weather, the quality of the courses, the organisation and the fact they have strict rules on slow play, enabling players to make the most of their day. The use of a golf buggy is mandatory to help keep the game moving and avoid hold ups. There are water coolers on all the tees, an absolute must in the heat, and there are people who serve snacks and drinks on the course.
One of the courses I play regularly is Remington at St Cloud, set amongst a housing development, it is a well laid out course with plenty of challenge for the better golfers (not me!) It has a particularly good package which includes a breakfast sandwich, a hot dog half way round, and a substantial snack at the end. The staff are friendly and obliging and there is a nice clubhouse with a pro shop, bar and dining area. The course is located about 4 miles outside Old Kissimmee Town, just off the 192.
Another good course is Kissimmee Oaks which is on the 17/92 near Poiciana. Again set amongst a housing complex it is a picturesque course and you may get the odd sighting of a Gator in one of the many lakes and ponds.
I haven’t yet played at Reunion which is off Ronald Reagan Parkway, a relatively new course but with the character of a more established golf course. It is a beautifully set out course of championship standard with beautiful fairways and greens and has been the venue for many high profile Ladies tournaments, it can only get better with age. It can be a bit pricey depending on the time of year, golf tends to be more expensive in Florida in the winter due to the influx of Snowbirds.

Disney Golf

Authors WebsiteThis year at Easter we decided to buy a 5 day ticket in advance. To our delight this allowed us to enter Disney for 7 instead of 5 days. Along with the entry into the Parks it gave us entry into Oak Trail golf at Disney (near to Magic Kingdom), Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon and the Disney Quest at Pleasure Island. This was great for me as a golfer as I could visit the Golf Course free of charge (normally $38 + tax) for up to 5 times if I wanted. It was a relaxed course and you could take your children to as well. It was well kept and you played through oak lined fairways.
Make sure you have a go if you are an avid golfer
