The Best Places in Florida for Vacation

The Best Places in Florida for Vacation
Even though theme parks are often thought of first when Florida vacations are mentioned, there are numerous destinations in Florida. Fortunately for golfers, there is never a golf course far away, no matter where you are in the Sunshine State.

Walt Disney World Resort

Any vacation to Florida would not be complete without a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort. Fortunately, you do not need to spend all of your time there waiting in lines and buying souvenirs. There are five different golf courses within the resort. The Lake Buena Vista Golf Course is near Downtown Disney and rated four out of five stars by "Golf Digest."

Daytona Beach

Daytona Beach is a place to visit if you want to get somewhere less crowded than Disney World, but still be lively enough to have a good time. In addition to miles of beaches, Daytona Beach also includes a water park, fishing opportunities and fine dining. It also features several golf courses. One of the oldest and best is the Daytona Beach Golf Club.

Daytona Beach, FL32114

Key West

Key West is the southernmost city in the United States and is located only 90 miles from Cuba. This city is a popular destination for people to visit because it is much more laid back than some of the other tourist destinations. It also includes some of the most beautiful golf courses in the state. The Key West Golf Club is just one of the city's courses.

Miami Beach

Although Miami Beach is also in the southern part of Florida--like Key West--Miami has a much busier feel to it. Here people go to visit nightclubs, partake of fine cuisine and shop in ritzy boutiques. However, it is also home to several golf courses, including one at the Miami Beach Golf Club.
