Orlando and the Central Florida area is much more than a magical kingdom, it’s a world-class golf destination.

While you’re here, taking in all the other great attractions and nightlife the area has to offer I strongly recommend you play a round of Golf in the Florida paradise.
Find out why so many of the PGA tours top players call Orlando area their home. With plenty of world-class golf courses to choose from for every level of the game, it is no wonder why Orlando is one of the major golf destinations every year.
Listed below are a few Florida Spirits choices of the amazing golf course located with in an easy drive of the vacation homes.
ChampionsGate Golf Resort offers 36 holes designed by golf legend Greg Norman and is the world headquarters of David Leadbetter Golf Academy. Ten minutes from Walt Disney World, Champions Gate’s National course is an impressive American-style layout in the best traditions of modern U.S golf course design. The International course will be familiar to those who have played the great old courses of Scotland and Ireland.
At the Celebration Golf Club you will enjoy one of Orlando’s finest golf experiences, rated four stars in Golf Digests “Places to Play 2002” and “Top 200 Service Facilities in North America.” This Robert Trent Jones –and Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed 18-hole 6,772 yard, par 72 championship-caliber course demands accurate approach shots and consistent putting.
You have not played golf in Orlando if you have not played Orange County National Golf Center. This 45-hole golfing facility is truly astonishing. The two championship courses are Crooked Cat and Panther Lake. I would really recommend warming up on Crooked Cat first, a links style course before taking on Panther Lake. Orange County National is the inspiration and creation of Phil Ritson the golf guru to countless top instructors and professional. National has also gained fame as the “practice tee” where Tiger Woods filmed his famous Nike commercial, in which he bounces a golf ball off his iron several times before hitting it 200 yards down course. The clubhouse and pro shop is very impressive and only out performed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.
Florida Spirit would like to thank and recognize Central Florida Golfer’s Guide and Lihn’s Golf Guide for all their guidebook’s in-depth knowledge and detail of Central Florida golf.
