What Is Florida Golfer Guide and How Can It Help You Plan Florida Golf?
Florida Golfer Guide (floridagolferguide.com) is a statewide directory and guide to Florida golf courses, resorts, country clubs, and residential golf communities. Use it when you want one starting point to browse courses by region, compare basic course facts, and find links to resorts, hotels, and tee-time details — then confirm current rates and availability directly with the course or resort, since the site presents itself as a directory rather than a booking engine.
What the site covers
According to the site, Florida Golfer Guide lists courses across the state, from the Panhandle to the Florida Keys, organized by recognizable golf regions:
- Panhandle
- Florida Keys
- Treasure Coast
- Space Coast
- Palm Beach
- Orlando
- Northern Florida
- Naples
- Gulf Coast
- Tampa
- Gold Coast
Beyond courses, the directory also covers:
- Resorts and vacation planning — major Florida golf resorts with links to their own sites
- Golf packages — packaged trip options
- Tee time details — where to find and arrange tee times
- Country club communities and homes — residential golf communities for buyers or relocators
- Nearby restaurants and hotels — listed alongside courses, with links
Featured courses and resorts named on the site include Doral Golf Resort, Naples Golf Resort, PGA Village, World Golf Village, Cypress Creek Country Club, Ridgewood Lakes Country Club, Stoneybrook Golf Club, and Sun City Center, among others.
What course details you can look up
The site states that its course listings can include:
| Detail | Why it matters for planning |
|---|---|
| Green fees | Budgeting your round |
| Tee times | Scheduling play |
| Cart and club rentals | Deciding what to pack |
| Holes, architect, year | Judging course style and era |
| Public/private status | Knowing whether you can get on |
| Guest policies | Whether you need a member host |
| Payment options | What to bring or arrange |
| Seasons | When the course is open or at peak |
| Yards, slope, rating | Matching the course to your game |
| Weather | Timing your trip |
Treat these as planning inputs, not live data. Fees, seasons, and guest policies change, so verify with the course before you commit.
How to use it to plan a Florida golf trip
- Pick your region first. Decide where you're staying — Orlando, Naples, Tampa, the Treasure Coast, and so on — and browse courses in that area rather than scanning the whole state.
- Shortlist by the facts that constrain you. Filter mentally by public/private status, guest policy, and season before you fall in love with a course you can't access.
- Check the resort and package listings. If you want golf plus lodging, the resort directory and package information are the faster path than booking each piece separately.
- Use the nearby hotels and restaurants links. The site lists these next to courses, which helps you build a trip around a home base.
- Confirm everything direct. Call or check the course or resort website for current green fees, tee times, and availability.
Using it to find a golf community or home
If you're considering a Florida golf lifestyle rather than a single vacation, the site's residential country club community and home listings are the relevant section. Browse by region, then follow the links to community or realtor sites for current inventory and pricing. The directory tells you what exists and where; it doesn't hold live listings.
What it is not
Florida Golfer Guide is a guide and directory. It aggregates course information and links out to resorts, courses, hotels, and restaurants. It is not a tee-time booking platform, and the site does not publish its own pricing. Plan on using it to research and shortlist, then transact with the course, resort, or community directly.
