Winter Golf Trip Suggestions

[Fozcycle]

Just north of Tampa (12 miles) is a small community called Wesley Chapel. It is the home of Saddlebrook Resort (where my granddaughter drives the bev cart on the weekends). Just 8 miles away is PGA Pro Tom Lehman's beautiful Lake Jovita GC. Up the road a few miles in Brooksville is World Woods and just west in Lutz is TPC Tampa Bay where the Outback Steakhouse Championship is held.

In between these jewels are many public courses with better than reasonable rates. Pebble Creek GC, Lexington Oaks, Links at Lake Bernadette, Silverado GC, just to name a few.

Come visit us in Wesley Chapel where you can play a different course everyday and the rates are unbeleivable.

Can't believe nobody suggested Myrtle Beach, South Carolina


I spend lots of time there and if you want any suggestions, shoot me a PM. Fantastic golf value there with over 100 area courses. Read up online a bit and shoot me a PM if interested so I can tell you some of my favorite tracks.

Looking at Wunderground and using it's "Trip Planner" feature, I see the average daily high for the time frame of Dec 1-10 is 61 degrees in Myrtle Beach. Perfect golfing weather if you ask me. Link below with historical averages ...

I went last year at the beginning of December. We didn't get above 50 the entire trip, and one of the days it hailed briefly while we were playing. The first morning we waited 90 minutes through a frost delay.

Just use the search engine on this site and you will find a bunch of threads talking about tracks in the Phoenix area.

Bad luck? Sorry dude. The weather data in the previous link doesn't lie, 61 is the average high for the first ten days of December. I ride my Harley down to Myrtle (2 hours from home) in the winter without a jacket on certain days. Sounds like you came the wrong week and had some nasty weather. A rarity though I assure you.

I'm going to Naples, Florida this year. Staying there for a eight days and getting seven rounds of golf in. My grandparents have said they have alot of great courses in that area and I know someone's home course on here is Arrowhead Golf Club...that's the first course I'm going to.

I'm a fan of Myrtle Beach, the RTJ trail and Vegas, but not in Winter.

Although the most well know courses in Orlando are expensive there are plenty of excellent courses in Orlando that have low green fees. You just need to pick the right ones, as there are also some bad cheap ones. A lot of the courses North of downtown Orlando have lower green fess and there are some clubs that allow outside play. Also lots of great afternoon rates. Check Golf Now.com for good deals
For a low priced winter trip with 4 star courses, consider the following Orlando area courses.

Victoria Hills $65 am, $50 pm
Deltona - $40 am, $25 PM
DeBary - $30
Timacuan - $70 am, $40-50PM
Rolling Hills - $30
Harmony - $55
Diamondback - $47 am - $35 pm
Southern Dunes - $79 am- $65 pm
Disney courses - $60 pm
Eagle Creek - $40 PM
Sanctuary Ridge - $25
Sugarloaf Mountain - $75
