Best golf courses in Florida

• 

Florida has around 1,250 golf courses, how do you find the better ones?

Florida, with 1,250 golf courses, has more golf courses than any other state, California is second at 1,120, Texas third at 1,041.  Our directory helps the traveling golfer cut through the advertising and hype to find the better public golf courses to play. We’ve polled thousands of golfers who play in Florida, plus combed through all the the national golf periodicals to provide a directory of only 246 of the better public golf courses to play in the state.

In order to effectively use our directory, check out the map of Florida’s best golf courses, which uses a Google Maps widget which allows you to scroll down and around to the area you’re visiting. If, for example you’re looking for a course to play along I-75, it lists courses for Lake City, Gainesville, and Ocala, and with the map function, you can tell which courses are closest to the Interstate.

If you’re headed to Orlando, while there’s over 120 golf courses in the greater Orlando area, we list only 36 which our members and the national golf magazines have selected as the best public golf courses in the area.

Traveling to the southwest side of Florida, where most mid-westerners head, follow I-75 south with major golf course concentrations in Tampa, Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Fort Myers, and Naples. On the east coast we list major golf destinations from Key West to Fernandina Beach along US1/I-95 from the southern tip of the US to the Georgia border.

Heading west across the most boring stretch of Florida I-10 west, but some of the more beautiful beaches in the country, we’ve listed major golf concentrations in Tallahassee, Panama City, Destin, and Pensacola.

You won’t find a lot of advertising on our directory bombarding you throughout, but there’s some in order to support the site. We also provide tee times through GolfNow, and if we’ve assisted you in finding one of the better golf courses to play, please consider booking through Forelinksters.

Our directory is for the use of all golfers looking for the better golf courses, if we’re missing one of your favorites, please let us know here, and we’ll be happy to add it. If you’d like to help keep our courses up to date with current reviews and ratings, please consider joining us at no charge to you.

Cheers!
