While many people leave behind the Florida summer experience to head up north, there are a select number of golfers who don’t seem to mind it. As the snowbirds are starting to leave and head back up north, golf courses will look a little emptier and finding a tee time will become a little more accessible. Our cover story for this issue features private clubs who will be offering reciprocals to other private clubs, where you’ll have a chance to play at other area gems not traditionally open to the public. Be sure to check out the multitude of Summer and Trial Memberships that many of the area’s public and private clubs are offering this summer, such as The Hideaway Country Club, Quail Run Golf Club, and Quail Village Golf Club, just to name a few. If you are looking to play in summer tournaments but not a member of a club, look no further than The Club at Westminster, which was recently purchased by Lifestyle Management Group of Florida. Their year-round events are open to both membership and the public. There is still time to take advantage of the Big Summer Golf Card, where you can enjoy their special offerings all year long. This is the #1 golf privilege card in Florida! And speaking of special offerings, Cigars International is running their special on an eight-piece sampler, ideal for a perfect day by the pool this summer. We hope that Golf Coast Magazine can be your guide on all that Southwest Florida has to offer in the golf community.
