Golf Lifestyle
Southwest Florida’s international recognition has attracted some of the biggest names in the golf world who come here to compete, to conduct business, to design courses and to live in this tropical paradise.
The area is a golf mecca with over 160 courses – some of which have been designed by golf legends like Arnold Palmer, Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr., Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tom Fazio, Rees Jones, Pete Dye and others. Top designers mean memorable courses that every level of golfer can enjoy, even the professionals who come here to play in nationally televised tournaments.
Golf course memberships range from public to semi-private to exclusive with play during the height of the season determined by affordability and accessibility. Private memberships often include preferential tee times and most clubs offer reciprocity for inter-club play during the slower season.
