Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill

$$$$$

FL · Orlando · Resort · Par 72

Stay-and-play with the King

Arnie's longtime home club opens its 27 holes to lodge guests, so you can play the same closing stretch the pros sweat over at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Classic Florida with water everywhere.

PGA National The Champion

$$$$$

FL · Palm Beach Gardens · Resort · Par 72

Survive the Bear Trap

Host of the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, the Champ saves its teeth for the Bear Trap finish over water at 15, 16, and 17. A true tour test that anyone can tee up.

TPC Sawgrass Stadium

$$$$$

FL · Ponte Vedra Beach · Public · Par 72

Bucket-list island green

Home of THE PLAYERS, this Pete Dye gauntlet ends with the famous par-3 17th to an island green that has swallowed thousands of golf balls. You can actually play it, but bring your nerve and a fat wallet.

Black Diamond Ranch Quarry Course

$$$$

FL · Lecanto · Semi-private · Par 72

Famous holes set in a limestone quarry

Five astonishing holes plunge into an old limestone quarry on Florida's nature coast. One of Fazio's most jaw-dropping routings.

Cabot Citrus Farms Karoo

$$$$

FL · Brooksville · Resort · Par 72

Adventure golf in the sandhills

Kyle Franz reimagined old Florida sandhills into a rumpled, strategic playground he calls adventure golf. Elevation changes you didn't think existed in Florida and endless angles off the tee.

Cabot Citrus Farms Roost

$$$$

FL · Brooksville · Resort · Par 72

Moss-draped oaks and a sinkhole

This 7,200-yard course wanders through scrub, meadows, and even a 40-foot-deep sinkhole, all framed by ancient live oaks. A genuinely wild ride and the resort's marquee track.

Innisbrook Copperhead

$$$$

FL · Palm Harbor · Resort · Par 71

Beware the Snake Pit

Towering pines and rolling terrain make this Tampa-area gem feel more Carolina than Florida. The closing three holes, the Snake Pit, decide the Valspar Championship every March.

PGA National The Palmer

$$$$

FL · Palm Beach Gardens · Resort · Par 72

Arnie's water-laced layout

One of five courses at this sprawling resort, the Palmer threads through lakes and palms with the King's trademark go-for-it feel. A friendlier companion to the brutal Champion.

Streamsong Black

$$$$

FL · Bowling Green · Resort · Par 73

Gil Hanse's wide-open monster

The newest of the big three sprawls across higher ground with enormous greens and fairways you could land a plane on. Bring your imagination for the short game around those wild putting surfaces.

Streamsong Blue

$$$$

FL · Bowling Green · Resort · Par 72

Doak's dunescape playground

Tom Doak's contribution shares the same surreal mounded terrain as the Red, with massive sandy waste areas and views across spring-fed lakes. Walk it with a caddie for the full effect.

Streamsong Red

$$$$

FL · Bowling Green · Resort · Par 72

Sand dunes in central Florida

Coore and Crenshaw carved this out of old phosphate-mining land, and it plays like windswept links 70 miles from any ocean. Rolling fairways, wild greens, and not a house in sight.

World Woods Pine Barrens

$$$$

FL · Brooksville · Public · Par 71

Pine Valley feel in Florida

Vast sandy waste areas and rolling pine corridors evoke Pine Valley deep in Florida's interior. Long considered one of the best public courses in the state.

Grand Cypress New Course

$$$

FL · Orlando · Resort · Par 72

Nicklaus does St. Andrews

Jack Nicklaus's tribute to the Old Course brings double greens, stone bridges, and shaggy mounds to the Orlando sun. A fun, quirky change of pace from typical Florida target golf.

World Golf Village King and Bear

$$$

FL · St. Augustine · Resort · Par 72

Only Nicklaus-Palmer co-design

The lone course on earth designed by both Jack and Arnie, freshly restored in 2024. Generous fairways, mature oaks, and a clubhouse steps from the golf hall of fame.

World Golf Village Slammer and Squire

$$$

FL · St. Augustine · Resort · Par 72

Strategy over muscle

Named for Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen, this Bobby Weed design rewards smart positioning over raw power. A relaxed, walkable companion to its bigger sibling.
