Hello everyone,

I'm eventually looking to move somewhere warmer to be able to progress all year round on my golf game.

Can some of you shed some light on the Jacksonville area or Florida in general as where would be the best places/areas to be living to immerse myself in golf with awesome courses and resources and all that?

Thanks everyone!

Jax isn't horrible for golf, but for better golf and overall more to do, I'd pick Orlando over Jax any day.  I mean, if you're completely not dependent on location for work or anything, like you're retired or independently wealthy, then I'd say Orlando, or if you're fairly flexible financially, then I'd say the SW coastal area might be your best bet.  The weather is a bit more forgiving in the summer, with temps rarely over 90 in the Naples/Fort Meyers area, with a gernally healthy breeze as well.

Also, I assume you mean to live, not just for a long golf vacation or something.  If that were the case, I'd say Orlando for sure.  For living, for me personally, it's a bit too spread out and the traffic can be crappy if you travel during rush hour at all.  Then again, there are places in /around Orlando that are very pleasant and have a lot of nice courses (Winter Park/Tuskawilla/Lake Howell are and also Dr Phillips/Bay Hill come to mind.

Thank you very much for the reply.  Yes I'm very flexible on moving anywhere and also it would be very long term.

And yes also, weather is the most important thing I'd say, temperatures and precipitation are key.

Thanks again!

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
