Golf Holidays in Orlando
Perfectly manicured greens, sculpted fairways, spectacular water features and white sand bunkers make a golfing holiday in Orlando, golf one of the most sought after packages. With 150 courses within an hour's drive of the city, including stunning courses designed by Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus, Orlando golf is a strategic challenge to even the most experienced of players and a chance to take on the big boys for recreational golfers.
Resort facilities are superb and the best courses include water coolers on every golf cart and GPS tracking that allows you to measure the exact yardage of every shot - and order drinks or lunch while you're still out on the course.
There are lots of Orlando golf holiday packages available and these often represent the best value if you're planning a serious golfing holiday. Packages generally include flights, accommodation and green fees. The winter months are high season and green fees and resort prices rise so if you're looking for a good deal try the summer months if you can stand the heat, or the spring and autumn when you'll get the best combination of pleasant weather, good prices and small crowds.
Top Orlando gold courses and resorts
One of the newest and most sought-after golfing resorts is the Reunion Resort and Club with three 18-hole-courses designed by Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. The only snag is that this superb golfing experience is only available to those who own property in the resort or are staying there.
There are also five championship quality courses at the Walt Disney World Resort, including Palm, one of Golf Digest's top 25 courses. The 18th here is reputed to be one of the toughest holes in America. Alternatively try the Jack Nicklaus signature golf course at Keene's Pointe in Windermere, one of the area's newest and most exciting courses, or Kissimmee Oaks, a majestic course where 100-year-old moss-draped oaks line the fairways.
An 18-hole round including cart hire and taxes averages about $75 but it can be as low as $40 if you play from Monday to Thursday. Lessons with PGA professionals are available on many courses and can improve your game immensely. For an introduction to the courses and the facilities available at each location pick up a copy of the free Golfers Guide or Guide to Golf in any Orlando golf shop, or visit GolfingOrlando.com or OrlandoGolf.com.
