Florida Golf: Teeing Off in Englewood

Couples Save on Nationwide golf with Golf Card!

Florida golf courses are one of my favorite places to spend a day. In the Englewood area there are many golf courses to challenge your game.

The golf courses in the area span a broad spectrum of price and difficulty. There are some great Executive golf courses, that despite their short distance, the course layout can create some interesting shots and scores. There are also par 70 to par 72 golf courses which will challenge the best golfer.

There are private courses and public golf courses.

I like to take visitors from the north night golfing. They are usually shocked when I suggest that we get a tee time for 6:00 pm. When they ask how we are going to play golf in the dark? My response is simple. “You will see.”

(There are golf courses in the vicinity that offer night golf, because they have installed lights to illuminate the fairways and greens. These lights are mounted on poles similar to the ones found in baseball stadiums and shopping mall parking lots.)

Whether you are in the Englewood area as part of a Florida golf package or you are in the area enjoying a Florida vacation, you will not be disappointed by the golf courses.

Golf Retirement Communities

There are housing developments created around Florida golf courses. The exclusivity of these golf-focused communities makes it easier to get a good tee time.

As well, the close proximity between your home and the golf course means quicker trips to the golf course.

In some golf retirement communities, you don’t even need your car, just your own golf cart.

Professional Golf Tours

I not only like to golf, but I also like to watch others compete at this great game. There are several professional golf tournaments in the area.

The PGA Tour stops in the Tampa and Orlando areas in March.

Tampa and Naples area golf courses welcome the Champions Tour in the spring months as well.

And, if you wish to travel further in the State of Florida, there are many more Florida golf tournaments including a LPGA event.

Florida is also the home of smaller golf tours. These tournaments usually feature younger golfers who aspire to play some day on the PGA or the LPGA tours.

Mini Vacation: World Golf Hall of Fame

Every so often, my wife and I like to go on what we call mini-vacations. One of our favorites is to the World Golf Hall of Fame near St. Augustine Florida.

The World Golf Hall of Fame is located at World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida, and is a collaboration of 27 national and international golf organizations including the USGA, LPGA, PGA of America, PGA TOUR and SENIOR PGA TOUR. The dramatic 75,000 square-foot building houses interactive displays, historic artifacts, a special exhibit gallery, an IMAX Theater and the Hall of Fame itself, which honors the game’s greatest players and contributors. Each fall the newest members are inducted during the annual ceremony filled with all of the pomp and circumstance befitting a game that spans over 600 years.

When many people think of Florida, their first thought is Florida golf. If you vacation or retire to Englewood Florida, the game of golf is easily accessible, no matter whether you shoot par, or wish that you could break 100!

It's all here when you Enjoy Englewood Florida!

I'm sure you'll agree Englewood area golf courses are the best! See for yourself.
