This Is the No. 1 Public Golf Course in Florida

"Voted the top public course in Florida by a community-driven GolfPass/Golfers' Choice poll, this resort course in Orlando is a links-style, Greg Norman–designed layout that evokes the British Isles or Australian coastal courses. It features sprawling greens, wind-swept dunes, wide-open fairways that contrast with pot bunkers full of Bermuda grass, and 18 dramatic holes that demand strategic shotmaking. Rates for the course are typically in the $225–$240 range, and reviewers praise the friendly staff, strong practice facilities, well-equipped carts (tees, towels, water and GPS included), fast, well-maintained greens, and a scenic, “overseas” feel—though errant shots into rough or bunkers can be costly. Consistently ranked among the top resort courses in the country, it offers both beauty and a stern test for golfers of many skill levels." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
