TPC Sawgrass (The Players Stadium), Ponte Vedra Beach
This challenging public course is one of the favorites of golfers everywhere, with an array of hazards, including the world famous island green of the 17th hole. Designed with the goal of giving every type of player a run for their money, TPC Sawgrass’s The Players Stadium continues to draw golfers from across the country, earning it the only five star Places to Play rating in Florida from Golf Digest and top 10 rankings among best golf courses from Golf Digest, Golf Link, Golf Magazine, and Golf Week.
Camp Creek Golf Club (Camp Creek), Panama City Beach
Few golf courses have worked as hard as Camp Creek at establishing and maintaining a wildlife refuge within 18 holes of world-class golf. The fees are really reasonable or you can stay at the on-site resort for just a little more and golf to your heart’s desire. Even the non-golfers in your family may want to come along to the course for bird watching or to learn about Florida’s native plant life. Golf Digest named Camp Creek in the top 20 best golf courses in Florida, find out why.
World Woods (Pine Barrens and Rolling Oaks), Brooksville
Golfers looking for the most golf bang for their vacation buck need look no further than World Woods. This club offers two amazing 18-hole courses and one 9-hole course, all designed with completely different aesthetics and feel. Rolling Oaks is a fairly traditional course, lined with oaks and azalea, showcasing rolling fairways and undulating greens. Pine Barrens, on the other hand, is more of a modern course, with native features and wastes incorporated into the design. Both courses are ranked among the best golf courses by Golf Digest, Golf Magazine, Golf Link, and Golf Week.
