With 22 Golf Courses within 15 miles of our development in Florida, it’s easy to see why so many keen golfers love this unspoilt corner of the Sunshine State.

But it’s not all about quantity is it! If you expect high quality courses, well kept and challenging, you will not be disappointed! When you compare the quality of “municipal” courses in Florida with the usual hacked up, un-kept fields that they try and pass off as Golf Courses in the UK, the difference is, quite simply staggering!

Lets take Long Marsh Golf Club as a typical example. Situated within the community of Rotonda with our villa actually backing onto the course, Long Marsh is a challenging, beautiful course with lots of water hazards, sweeping bunkers, open fairways and beautiful greens like snooker tables. You have a choice of four tee’s ranging between 5257 yards and 7120 yards.

Designed by Ted McAnlis, this 72 par, 18 hole course is of a standard you would normally expect from a private (and expensive) club. Most of the year, you don’t even need to book a tee off time (it may be advisable though).

Depending on the time of year, a round at Long Marsh including a motorised Golf Cart starts from $25.00!



This is one of 33 local courses for you to play; we cannot review all of them! But rest assured, the standard will be just the same. We have included listings for the most popular courses; all the listed courses are within an hour of  our villa, many within 20 minutes.
