The Plantation on Crystal River is a beautiful, 232 acre eco-friendly golf resort offering com fortable accommodations, 27-holes of great golf, award winning dining and a full service spa. Surrounded by the natural springs of Kings Bay, one of the largest aquifers in the state, Crystal River is home to more than 400 West Indian manatees that migrate each year to the warmth of the springs. Our onsite activities range from golf to boating and fishing with so much in-be tween and we offer several specials and packages to help sculpt your perfect vacation! There’s always something fun to do at Plantation on Crystal River!

TRADITIONAL FLORIDA-STYLE GOLF

Our exclusive Central Florida golf resort fea tures 27 holes of competitive and challenging golf. Our course was designed in the traditional

“Florida” style with variety of water and bunker obstacles, along with challenging fairways lined by mature emerald pine and oak trees native to the region. If it’s a short course you prefer, “The Lagoons” is a great option to sharpen your short game. If you’re into hitting monster drives, try our “Championship Course” which consists of 18 holes of world-class golf. All of our links are beautifully manicured and well-groomed, and they provide a traditional mix of the best golf Florida has to offer.

Few places compare to Crystal River when it comes to salt or freshwater sport fishing. There really isn’t a better place for an inshore slam of tarpon, redfish, and speckled trout. Offshore opportunities include grouper, a variety of snap per, smoker kingfish, and cobia. If freshwater

fishing is more your interest, our area has mul tiple lakes and reservoirs with excellent fishing for largemouth bass, crappie, bream, catfish, and more. We can also arrange a charter with one of our area’s fishing guides that will pick you up from our own dock for charters. And make sure to bring your catch back to our resort so the chef of our West 82º Grill can cook it for you!

enjoy our full-service spa, manatee tours, fish ing, and diving while you hit the links. There’s never been a better time to head to our resort and discover how Plantation on Crystal River helps make Florida one of the top golf destinations in the world.

From the first tee to the #1 beach in the U.S.

The lush landscape and emerald green waters. A warm calming breeze. And the sound of your driver making perfect contact. Could there be anything more relaxing? In St. Pete/Clearwater, you can play the perfectly manicured greens of our world-class golf courses and unwind on the pristine sands of St. Pete Beach, voted the #1 Beach in the U.S. for 2021 by Tripadvisor. It’s a relaxing game of golf, made a little more relaxing. VisitStPeteClearwater.com

St. Pete/Clearwater is more than just America’s Best Beaches. It’s also home to some of America’s best golf courses and proud home to PGA and LPGA tour stops. Whether you’re looking for a modern course or a classic, you can have your pick from St. Pete/Clearwater’s 22 public or semi-private golf courses. There’s something for every one—a mix of new and traditional, stunning landscapes, and demand ing courses shaped by some of the top designers in the world.

Once you step onto the Innisbrook Golf Resort’s breathtaking re sort and manicured grounds, you will never want to leave. The resort’s five golf courses—The Copperhead, Island, North, South and Fox Squirrel—offer challenging, surprising and rewarding courses veterans and novices alike will appreciate.

If you’re looking to play on a gorgeous island (who isn’t?), the Vinoy Golf Course, located on Snell Island, was re-designed by renowned course architect, Ron Garl, and put back into play in 1992. Conditions for play are ideal year-round, with cool Gulf breezes in summertime and a perfect, warm escape in the winter.

Take it up a notch and try a round at Dunedin Golf Club. Former home of the PGA of America, this 18-hole course was designed by world-renowned golf course architect Donald Ross. The facility went through a major restoration with the rebuilding of greens, tees and bun kers in 2006 through 2007, which has restored the course to nearly the same as when Ross originally brought it to life.

The Copperhead’s elevation tests the best players in the world each year at the PGA Tour’s Valspar Championship. The 7,340-yard, par71 brute, designed by the imaginative architect Lawrence Packard, is one of the PGA Tour’s favorite stops. Paul Azinger, a 12-time PGA Tour winner, called it the best course the PGA Tour plays. The Copperhead meanders through beautiful trees and landscaping with water strate gically placed to test golfers of all levels. Innisbrook’s other courses offer an enjoyable challenge as well. The 7,310-yard, par-72 Island Course, in particular, can prove every bit as tough as the Copperhead.

Reunion Resort & Golf Club

Reunion Resort and Golf Club offers a golfing experience unlike any other in the world. Receiving accolades and awards from several golf publications, Reunion is the only place you will find three Signature Design courses by golf’s greatest legends: Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, and Arnold Palmer.

If you find yourself at Reunion, and you only have time for one course, we recommend the Palmer course. It’s the least challenging of the three, but it boasts the most spectacular views of the resort. You will play through bunkers, lush greenery, and some of our luxury rental homes. The Palmer 7 hole is the most iconic of all 36 holes at Reunion. You might recognize Palmer 7 by its vantage point of the long winding bridge over a sparkling pond with the resort’s Grande Tower standing elegantly in the distance. The Palmer course offers 6,916 yards of rolling terrain with elevation changes up to 50 feet.

The Watson course is adjacent to the Palmer. Both start just behind the Clubhouse restaurant and Pro Shop. The Clubhouse serves a traditional American breakfast and lunch and is a great spot for a cup of coffee before heading out to the driving range or your morning tee time. Once on the course, you will encounter wide-open greens, rolling fairways, and strategically placed bunkers. Club selection is crucial for this course.

The most challenging of Reunion’s three courses is the Nicklaus course. Located on the other side of the resort property and winding through parts of the nature reserve, the Nicklaus course can be a bit quieter and more scenic than Watson or Palmer. This course provides long fairways and

challenging water hazards. At the end of the course, you can wave to your fans as they watch from the clubhouse veranda, which features panoramic views of the 18th green. Inside the Nicklaus Clubhouse, you’ll find men’s and women’s locker rooms with showers, the Pro Shop, and a tavern-style restaurant called Traditions. Traditions is the ideal spot for your post-round meal and celebratory beverages.

Reunion Resort has been consistently recognized for providing a premier golf experience in Central Florida since 2005. Director of Golf and Course Maintenance, Scott Scamehorn, has implemented a new approach to golf course maintenance and care, ensuring the courses are “tournament-ready” every day.

“We’re concentrating our efforts down the center lines, while really working hard on perfecting the consistency in playing conditions,” stated Scamehorn. Scamehorn joined Reunion’s team in the spring of 2020, and since then, he has worked with his team to transform Reunion’s courses into three of Florida’s best. “We’re managing all three courses as one,” said Scamehorn. “We’ve adjusted mowing frequency along with pest management and water conservation to improve daily course conditions.”

Open to resort guests and members, Reunion’s rolling greens stretch across the 2,300-acre resort, just minutes from Walt Disney World®

and other famous Orlando attractions. Reunion attracts avid golfers from around the world looking to experience an enhanced level of play with exceptional conditions and unique course layouts designed by three PGA legends. With spacious multi-room villas and luxury vacation homes featuring up to 13 bedrooms, this property is an easy option for golf trips.

In addition to golf, Reunion Resort amenities include a mini-golf course, multiple tennis and pickleball courts with a Pro Shop, casual and fine dining, 10 community pools, a five-acre waterpark, and 25,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Whether it’s a family vacation, a golf trip with the guys, or a girls’ trip, Reunion has something for everyone.

Central Florida The Hidden Gem of Florida Golf

Golfers who live in Central Florida already know, and more visitors are beginning to learn, some truly fantastic golf opportunities abound throughout Central Florida’s Polk County. With more than 40 public access courses offering 612 holes of golf, Central Florida’s Polk County boasts one of the top collections of golf courses in the United States. Golf groups traveling to the area will find a wide range of course options and unforgettable off-course activities that will make your Central Florida trip one to remember.

UNIQUE COURSE OFFERINGS

With so many course offerings it is very difficult to pick our favorites, but when it comes to distinctive course design, one has to begin the conversation with Streamsong Resort. Streamsong Resort’s Red Course, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the Blue Course designed by Tom Doak and the Black Course designed by Gil Hanse, utilize the natural contours, sand dunes and native grasses to offer a golf experience that is reminiscent of the links-style courses of the British Isles. Built upon reclaimed phosphate mining land, Streamsong’s courses are atypical of most Florida golf courses.

Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club stretches out to more than 7,200 yards from the championship tees and this demanding layout features high ornamental grasses and decorative plantings, paired with 180 distinctively colored bunkers that provide spectacular visual appeal throughout your round of golf.

The Club at Eaglebrooke provides a challenging, but fair test of golf for players of all ability levels. Oak trees, numerous lakes and strategically placed mounding define the lush rolling fairways, and visually frame each hole as from the tee.

BREWS, BLUES AND BARBEQUE

Once the golf clubs have been put away, and the side bets settled, your group can then explore some of the great local dining and entertainment offerings that are available throughout Central Florida’s Polk County.

With more than 550 lakes dotting Polk County, locals and visitors alike all have their favorite lakeside dining spot. In Winter Haven, with full length windows and a lakeside patio, Harborside Restaurant is a modern American steakhouse, seafood and oyster bar featuring the finest cuts of dry aged meat and daily

delivered fresh fish. Also in Winter Haven, with its neighborhood restaurant feel and its location on the shores of Lake Ned, no place epitomizes casual lakefront dining more than Harry’s Old Place. Situated on the shores of scenic Lake Pierce.

Lakeland’s Lake Mirror is best known for its large events and being a perfect place to catch a spectacular sunset over downtown Lakeland, the lake also serves as the backdrop for Texas Cattle Company, the place for those that have a craving for a nice juicy steak cooked over a specially built open-pit mesquite wood fire.

A trip to Florida wouldn’t be complete without fresh seafood. Gary’s Oyster Bar & Seafood House in Lake Alfred is known for its eclectic décor, friendly service and fresh seafood. Crazy Fish Bar and Grill is well worth the drive to Lake Wales. For a little taste of Louisiana, Harry’s Seafood Bar & Grille in Lakeland, serves up some good ‘ole down home Cajun favorites.

Mojo Federal Swine and Spirits has transformed Lakeland’s Federal Building into the newest culinary and entertainment experience. Mojo Federal is a premier barbecue, southern food, and craft cocktail destination.

38 \\ FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM

In Central Florida, Lakeland has served as the leader in the brewpub movement. Brew Hub is a partner brewing enterprise that brings together a number of smaller craft brewers to brew their beer. The Brew Hub Tasting Room serves locally sourced, naturally raised, made to order food options that are great for pairing with their beers. Swan Brewing offers lakefront views and microbrews just a few blocks from downtown. Kick back in the taproom or relax on the patio as you sip on a selection of more than 20 seasonal and small-batch beers. Brimming with authenticity and local love, Winter Haven’s Grove Roots Brewing Company looks to create inventive, artisanal beers. With names like “Rind & Shine” and “6am Pickers” scrawled onto the chalkboard tap list, there’s no question Grove Roots is serious about bringing Polk County’s citrus heritage to life. While they don’t serve

food, Grove Roots has a rotating roster of food trucks available for those wishing to eat. On Friday and Saturday nights, live music is offered at the venue.

After a long day on the course, and after a delicious meal, the way to cap off the evening is with a trip to the Lakeland Loft Cigar Bar and Jazz Club, an ultra-premium upscale Jazz and cigar lounge, located in historic downtown Lakeland. The Lakeland Loft offers a unique musical experience featuring talented local musicians, with live Jazz performances every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.

TAKE IN A GAME

No matter what time of year you visit Central Florida, your group can catch some professional sports action. Lakeland has been the spring training home of the Detroit Tigers for more than 80 years. From late February through the month of March, you can catch the Detroit Tigers at Joker Marchant Stadium as they face other Grapefruit League teams such as the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies and the Baltimore Orioles. In fact, there are five other MLB teams within an hour’s drive of Lakeland, making it the perfect “home base” for an extended golf and Spring Training tour.

If you prefer the hardcourt to the baseball diamond, Lakeland’s RP Funding Center is home from November to March to the Lakeland Magic, Orlando Magic’s G league affiliate. The Center also plays host to the Major Arena Soccer League’s Florida Tropics from December through April. Each May through July, the Tropics take to the outdoor soccer pitch as they compete in the United Soccer League, one of the MSL’s professional soccer development leagues.

CHOOSE EVERYTHING

Central Florida’s Polk County is one of the most beautiful and affordable golf destinations in Florida. While not as widely known as its more commercial neighbors, Orlando and Tampa, Polk County is a “hidden gem” that offers hundreds of unique attractions, both natural and man-made, that will provide your golf group with plenty of off-course thrills for the young and old alike. For more details or information on all of our local restaurants and craft breweries, our nightlife and entertainment offerings and exciting area attractions, log on to www.VisitCentralFlorida. org to begin planning your group’s Central Florida golf experience.

GREAT GOLF AWAITS IN

Daytona Beach

Daytona Beach, long one of Florida’s most popular vacation spots, has continued its emergence as a destination of choice for group leaders in search of great golf and good times off the course.

The “World’s Most Famous Beach” strikes the perfect balance between unforgettable golf and the reality that the fun is just beginning when the final putt drops each day.

As the home of nearly 20 courses, including the acclaimed Jones and Hills layouts at LPGA International and a pair of Donald Ross designs, Daytona Beach is a destination capable of meeting the needs of every golf group.

The Jones and Hills courses have tested LPGA legends such as Annika Sorenstam and Karrie Webb, and the South Course at Daytona Beach Golf Club, a Ross layout, once hosted a famed match featuring Ben Hogan, Sam Snead and Byron Nelson.

While Daytona Beach has deep ties to golf’s rich history, contemporary layouts like Victoria Hills, an unforgettable Ron Garl design that has been ranked among Florida’s top 20 public courses, and DeBary Golf Club, which has served as a U.S. Open qualifying site, only add to the area’s appeal.

STAY-AND-PLAY

Make no mistake, Daytona Beach delivers great golf but where a group stays matters, too. Daytona Beach welcomes visitors year-round and the rooms – ranging from oceanfront resorts to familiar national brands to independent boutique properties – that host family beach vacations during the summer months are perfect for golfers throughout the rest of the year.

52 \\ FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM

Daytona Beach provides a number of golf package offerings, which maximize value and convenience, allowing players to customize trips to fit their budget and preferences.

THE FUN NEVER STOPS

Complementing Daytona Beach’s on-course offerings are a seemingly endless array of activities. From the area’s famed beach to Daytona International

Speedway, deep sea fishing and everything in between, the only thing golfers continually want more of is time.

The area’s off-course attractions begin with Daytona International Speedway, where a tour of the track and a visit to the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America are a must. The truly ambitious may also want to enjoy the NASCAR Racing Experience, which offers the opportunity to get in a stock car and race around the famed 2.5-mile trioval, 31-degree banked track.

After an exhilarating trip to the Speedway, a visit to ONE DAYTONA, the area’s newest dining, shopping and entertainment complex located directly across the street is not to be missed.

Baseball fans will relish the opportunity to visit historic Jackie Robinson Ballpark, home of the Daytona Tortugas, a Cincinnati Reds’ affiliate.

Of course, no visit is complete without a trip to the “World’s Most Famous Beach.”

Daytona Beach enjoys 23 miles of expansive coastline. Some sections are pedestrian only while others allow cars to drive, very slowly, and park on one of the nation’s most stunning beaches. At low tide, the beach is up to 500 feet wide providing ample room for everyone to enjoy the beautiful white sand.

GOOD EATS, ALE TRAIL

Daytona Beach is also home to a thriving craft beer scene. Any group in search of a quality, craft brew will enjoy the Daytona Beach Ale Trail, a collection of more than 20 breweries and taprooms that offer a broad selection of craft beer, including outstanding local offerings.

Golfers that want to pair a glass of wine with an outstanding meal will appreciate the quality and diversity of Daytona Beach’s wine bars and restaurant offerings, which feature everything from ocean views and fresh seafood to premium steakhouses.

Daytona Beach is the rare destination that has the ability to be all things to all people, and golfers have taken notice.

Finish With a Flourish: Daytona Beach’s Top 5 18th Holes

1 With water running along the entire left side, both the tee shot and approach are nervy on the closing hole at LPGA’s Jones Course, a 388-yard (all distances from white tees) par 4.

2 Not to be outdone, the par 4 18th on LPGA’s Hills Course presents an even more significant challenge. The dogleg left plays 374 yards and the tee shot needs to favor the right-center of the fairway, lest players run the risk of having their path to the green blocked by pine trees.

3 DeBary Golf Club’s closing hole is a dogleg right par 4 that plays 401 yards, and a tree-lined fairway demands an accurate drive. The day’s final approach is to a green with sand and water standing guard on the right side, limiting your margin for error.

4 Cypress Head is one of the premier municipal courses in Florida and No. 18, a 466-yard par 5, is one of the reasons why. The narrow fairway is framed by a sprawling waste bunker on the right and mounding on the left. It’s an excellent finish on a course that delivers tremendous value.

5 If you like a dramatic conclusion, the Club at Venetian Bay is calling your name. A 391-yard par 4, the 18th hole features water running from tee to green on the left and the primary landing area in the fairway has bunkers on both sides. Venetian Bay’s 18th demands you be at your best, helping make it one of the area’s most memorable.

Experience Pure Florida

Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach - The Charlotte Harbor Gulf Island Coast is a charming, laid-back destination nestled between Sarasota and Fort Myers on the gulf coast. The area features an array of quality courses allowing any golf aficionado to experience some of the best golf Florida has to offer.

Southwest Florida is home to many different ecosystems, providing the aesthetic appeal and natural obstacles necessary to enhance any player’s experience while providing good challenges. There’s a course for every taste and skill level, including heavily wooded terrain, salt marshes, wetlands, and Audubon-certified courses teeming with a variety of native wildlife. Riverwood in Port Charlotte polled at No. 1 in Florida and No. 15 nationally in the GolfPass (formerly Golf Advisor) Golfer’s Choice 2021 list. Heritage Landing in Punta Gorda was ranked No. 34 in Florida on the same list.

Adding to the value, virtually every course in Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach is open to the public year-round and greens fees in peak season average approximately $55 per round. Summer and fall rates may be even lower. Find adventure off the greens with nearly 200 miles of Blueway Trails ideal for kayaking, canoeing and standup paddle boarding. Charlotte Harbor is known

56 \\ FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM

for its world-class fishing, featuring offshore and back bay angling opportunities. The area is also referred to as “The Tarpon Capital of the World,” so fishing for the silver king is a true adrenaline rush.

Soak up the sun and beachcomb on some of the 12 miles of Gulf of Mexico beaches on the five barrier islands that hug the coast— some only accessible by boat—for a true natural Florida adventure.

On land, take advantage of the City of Punta Gorda’s free bicycle loaner program. Pedal away on one of the four bicycle routes, which range from 17 to 33 miles, or ride the 18-mile Punta Gorda Pathways, which circles the city and includes a ride along the tranquil Peace River.

The dining scene in Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach is an eclectic mix of seafood shacks, sidewalk cafés, waterfront eateries, fine dining, and sweet spots. In 2020, Punta Gorda was ranked #2 in USA Today’s Best Small Town Food Scene 10Best list. Primary dining districts include downtown Punta Gorda, Fishermen’s Village, Manasota Key, and Dearborn Street in Englewood. There’s a restaurant to satisfy every taste bud.

FLORIDA Senior Games

The Florida Senior Games, presented by Humana has something for everyone. But there’s one catch. Athletes must be age 50 and over.

For those who meet that requirement, yes, there is a sport for everyone. The Florida Senior Games offers sports requiring speed and stamina, like Basketball, Cycling and Track and Field. There are sports utilizing focus and accuracy, like Archery, Bowling, Golf and Horseshoes. If you’ve got good hand/eye coordination, there’s Racquetball, Badminton, Table Tennis, Tennis and Pickleball. If you’re a team player, bring your Basketball, Volleyball or Softball team.

One of the myths of the Florida Senior Games is, “Oh, I’m not good enough to be in any sports competition.” That’s ok.

The Florida Senior Games community is one of the most supportive and encouraging group of people around. You’ve got to start somewhere and your fellow Senior Games athletes will be there to provide support and advice along the way. Just Bring Your Game.

Competition in the Florida Senior Games is a journey from the Local, to State and to National Level events.

Beginning in January of every year, a variety of Florida communities offer local qualifiers with sports included in the annual Florida Senior Games and a variety of others. The spring qualifiers are held through April.

The Local Qualifiers are held from Pensacola to Jacksonville to Fort Myers and Miami-Dade County. From January through November, athletes have the opportunity to start their Senior Games journey in one of 21 Florida locations.

The 31st Annual Florida Senior Games will be held December 3-11, 2022, in Florida’s Sports Coast/Pasco County. The 2022 Games is a qualifier for the 2023 National Senior Games in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, July 7-18, 2023. The 2022 Florida Senior Games is the first year of a three-year commitment in Florida’s Space Coast with competition venues in Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills, Lutz, Dade City and Land O’ Lakes.

The 2021 Florida Senior Games, held in the Greater Fort Lauderdale area, featured the usual array of inspiring and motivating stories of athlete achievements.
