 Orlando
Why, given its status as one of the most popular entertainment destinations in the U.S., its 300-plus sunny days a year, its thousands of hotel rooms, and a tourism industry that rivals any in the world, has Orlando had such a hard time establishing itself as a golf destination? "Our greatest asset may also be our biggest hindrance to being a true golf destination," says Todd Howard, Director of Golf at the International Golf Club. "Most people come to see Disney World and Sea World, and they will golf while they are here. Hey, we can't complain about that, but golf does exist in the shadow of Mickey." We specialize in custom Orlando golf packages to fit every budget. Plan with us the perfect Orlando golf vacations.

 West Florida
Western Florida has been dubbed the Emerald Coast because of a unique phenomenon. At certain times of the day, the Gulf of Mexico waters just off the Panhandle shimmer with a pure, mesmerizing green hue. The contrast between the calm, jeweled Gulf water and the pure white "sugar" sand beaches can be startling and is the reason why this is one of the truly beautiful and appreciated havens to those who know it. Thousands of families visit this stretch of Florida between Panama City Beach and Pensacola each spring and summer to indulge in the powdery sand and consistently ideal weather.

 Jacksonville/Daytona
Anyone who's been there will tell you that Jacksonville is one of the best-kept secrets on the eastern seaboard. A vibrant, midsize city with an enviable waterfront setting and an NFL franchise, "J-ville" as locals call it, often plays second fiddle to Atlanta, Charlotte, and even instate rivals Tampa and Miami in the southern city popularity contest. For golfers seeking to soak up the seemingly endless array of daily fee golf offerings, this anonymity is part of the allure.

 Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater
To an outsider looking in, the Tampa Bay area has it all. The enormous, sugar-white beaches of St. Petersburg/Clearwater are some of the best in the world. The peaceful, warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay are a veritable maritime playground. The region's once moribund NFL franchise, the Buccaneers, have become the darlings of the town and captured the 2003 Super Bowl. Even the Devil Rays, the Bay's sympathy-inducing Major League Baseball expansion squad, lured highly touted manager Lou Pinella away from the playoff-contending Seattle Mariners.
