But Florida has many beautiful and challenging courses for the dedicated golfer.
Here are our top 5:
1. Marriott Sawgrass Resort and Spa, Ponte Vedra Beach
Even by the high standards of Florida Golf, the Marriott Sawgrass Resort, and Spa (at Ponte Vedra Beach in northeast Florida), is hard to surpass. Marriott claims it’s “the perfect marriage of sun, sea, sand and golf,” and we won't argue with that !.
The resort is a series of contrasts; Moss-draped oaks, sweet-smelling magnolias, warm sunshine and cooling breezes that waft across the beaches, a cornucopia of wildlife, pools and golf courses combining to make the Marriott Sawgrass Resort and Spa, a true paradise.

2. PGA National Resort and Spa
The PGA National Resort and Spa has five terrific golf courses, including the Champion, home to the PGA TOUR's Honda Classic. It's family friendly, golf-oriented (of course) and one of the best looking and well run.
3. Doral Golf Resort and Spa, Miami, Florida
Doral Golf Resort and Spa. Doral is the home of the World Golf Championship. It's a fantastic golf destination, famous for its great Blue Monster golf course. But, there's much, much more. The Blue Monster is only one of five championship golf courses at Doral Golf Resort, the latest of which, the Jim McLean Signature Course, opened in 2010 to outstanding reviews. Add The Great White, a Greg Norman desert design, and you have what is, perhaps, the quintessential golf travel destination.
