A new course to play on Florida golf vacations: the Jim McLean Signature Course at Doral Golf Resort (hole 13).
Miami, Florida’s Doral Golf Resort must think its “new” course is so nice, they had to open it twice.
The Jim McLean Signature Course, which is a complete overhaul of what was the forgettable Silver Course, opened back in June. But that didn’t stop Doral from having a “grand opening” two weeks ago. Read more →

The Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort provides a unique experience on Florida golf vacations.
What names come to mind when I say “Florida golf resorts?”
Doral? PGA National? Grand Cypress? Bay Hill?
I bet Tampa’s Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club wasn’t one of them.
But maybe it should be.
In addition to starting its third year under new ownership, Innisbrook is located in a lovely, natural setting that is anything but “typical Florida,” and its four golf courses offer one thing in particular that most rival Florida courses can only dream about. Read more →

The 17th hole is often the highlight of rounds at TPC Sawgrass and Florida golf vacations.
Most weeks, the courses you see during the PGA Tour telecast are private. But not this week. Anyone can play the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, host site of the Players Championship, and we just love that.
Many of you must love it, too, because, for the last few years on the Monday after the Players Championship, and for weeks thereafter, we get flooded with questions about playing TPC Sawgrass on a Florida golf vacation.
This year, I thought I’d try to answer some of your questions in advance given that the editors of Golf Odyssey played TPC Sawgrass just 90 days ago. Read more →

This week, the PGA Tour is playing the Honda Classic on the Champion Course at PGA National Resort & Spa, but the course’s high profile doesn’t mean you have to pay the high rack rate on your Florida golf vacation.
In fact, the editors of Golf Odyssey say that savvy golfers never pay the rack rates for any of the five courses at PGA National Resort & Spa. Read more →

Q: Can you tell me an inexpensive way to play the Stadium course at TPC Sawgrass? Roger S., Cullman, Alabama
If you're flexible about when you take your Florida golf vacation, bargain rates are available TPC Sawgrass
A: World famous island green or not, $375 in high season (March 1st through June 8th) is a lot to spend to play the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, so I’m not surprised you’re looking for a less expensive option during your Florida golf vacation.

One lucky person is going to tee it up with Jim Furyk at TPC Sawgrass on a Florida golf vacation.
We don’t often alert readers to contests and sweepstakes, but when the prize is a Florida golf vacation to play TPC Sawgrass with one of the best players on the PGA Tour, we feel it’s worth passing along.
One Key is the Mansfield, Mass.-based vacation club running the contest, the grand prize winner of which will be flown (with a companion) to Jacksonville, Fla., put up for two nights in a hotel, and treated to a round of golf with Jim Furyk on TPC Sawgrass, site of the world’s most famous island green and the Tour’s annual Players Championship. The approximate retail value of the trip is six thousand dollars. Read more →
