[viksjo]

Dear forum memmbers. we are 2 couples from sweden europe, planning an golfvacation jan/feb 2014.. We have good choices for flight tickets to Orlando and Miami. Florida has a lot of golf courses and its not easy to choose where to go. We want to play good golfcourses, it hasnt necessary to be top notch championsship courses. we are also interested in an area where its a selection of good golfcourses to decent rates. House and car rental is often no problem, but the problem is to know where to go for good golfing att descent rates in Florida... Advices are most welcome

Hej Svenska vänner - Orlando has dozens of courses at many price points. There are also many other activities in and around Orlando. Here's a link to my favorite Orlando area courses

PS you should try to spend a day at the two new courses at Streamsong about an hour south of Orlando. Expensive, but will be the best courses in the area

Halifax Plantation, my favourite

Spruce Creek, old, neat with airport runway between 8th & 9th hole, great bar and friendly, you will never forget this place...

Venetian Bay, recommended here last year and was very good, thanks WRX

and the most spectacular and hardest course I have ever played, Plantation Bay Club du Bonmont, Hope you get there, you will go back like me...

By far the best place for golfing in Florida is the Orlando area.

About 100 courses, pretty cheap, if u book on golfnow.com and mostly short driving distances.

Esp. on Jan/Feb some courses on the east and west coast are closed for public and the rest are pretty expensive.

If golfing is ur prime goal, Orlando is unbeatable.

Have to agree with Orlando. So many golfing options here in a condensed area. Plenty of other activities too. Golfnow is the way to go. Just about every course in the area is on there and good rates can be found.

Drive up to Brooksville Fl. and play World Woods, very good prices for what you get. Not in the same caliber as Streamsong but a great value. Also may be worth it if your local pro could call and try to get you on Old Memorial in Tampa , that would be a pretty good trip if you pulled those 3 off. Any way you go your coming to a great area for Jan /Feb golf, hope you guys and gals have fantastic time in the Sunshine State.
