South Florida is known for many things: scenic views, beautiful weather, and golf. At one point, 20 of the top 30 ranked golfers in the world called South Florida home. There are so many golf courses, you could visit a different course every day and not play on the same one again for three years. In addition, professional golf associations such as the PGA and LPGA call Florida home.
What makes South Florida a popular golf destination? What does it have that other states don’t?
There are four reasons why golf is popular in South Florida: the weather, the vegetation, the number of courses, and the design of these golf courses.
Florida is known for its sunny weather. The year-round sun makes Florida an attractive destination for golfers looking to escape the winter weather. The tropical climate allows for golf to be a four-season sport.
Whatever sort of course or golf event you’re looking for, you can find it here. Charity golf events, professional tournaments, senior and recreational golf, and golf schools are abundant.
When you think of golf courses, you think of luscious grass. Golf courses are known for their impressive greenery, and Florida is not lacking. The humidity and sun create beautiful green vegetation for fairways and putting greens.
In addition, the Florida weather is the perfect climate for the most well-known Florida plant: palm trees. No image of Florida golf courses is complete without these stately beauties surrounding the tees.
The weather conditions and flat terrain creates a high demand for fairways. Retired northerners who call Florida home also contribute to the need for golf courses. These “snowbirds” actively seek out retirement homes with built-in golf courses.
Florida has 1,300 private, public, and resort golf courses. The sheer number of golf courses makes South Florida a paradise for professional and amateur golfers alike.
Each of the 1,300 golf courses are unique. Designers and developers have made beautiful golf courses with amazing backdrops and stunning scenery. Exclusive housing developments and luxurious resorts back up to and surround golf clubs. With beautiful Florida palm trees and glistening waterfalls as the backdrop, stunning links are par for the course.
