FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM

S

Situated amid stunning scenery and hushed seclusion in Central Florida, Streamsong® is a new luxury golf resort destination intentionally designed in harmony with its natural surroundings.

The resort’s unparalleled golf courses—Streamsong® Red, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, and Streamsong® Blue, designed by Tom Doak—can both be found in GOLF Magazine’s “Top 100 Courses You Can Play”… Streamsong® Red #10 and Streamsong® Blue #14. 36 holes creatively intertwine through a landscape of towering sand dunes, unexpected shifts in elevation and windswept prairie grasses. Simply put, Streamsong is like nothing you have ever seen or played.

As a proper complement to Streamsong® Red and Blue, Streamsong’s third championship layout, the highly acclaimed Streamsong® Black debuted in autumn 2017. Streamsong® Black is designed by acclaimed golf course architect Gil Hanse, designer of the 2016 Olympic Course in Rio de Janeiro, Castle Stuart Golf Links in Inverness, Scotland (host of the Scottish Open), Los Angeles Country Club (North and South), and one of the most entrusted architects in the game to restore many of America’s most prominent private clubs. Streamsong® Black, Par 73, is an expansive, strategic and eye-popping layout with rolling terrain, sand and vistas which are reminiscent of the Sand Belt of Australia.

Set on 16,000 acres convenient to Tampa and Orlando, Streamsong invites guests to explore the outdoors beyond the fairways. The resort offers on site guided bass fishing on its multiple lakes and streams, and its 12 –station sporting clays course and new archery range are perfect for both beginner and expert shots.

The resort also features a lakeside infinity-edge pool, a nature trail,

tennis courts and the AcquaPietra™ spa.

Streamsong offers guests four distinct restaurant options as stunning and sophisticated as the resort itself. Every dining experience at Streamsong presents the chance to enjoy excellent food and drink in the most beautiful setting imaginable.

The Clubhouse at Streamsong features an outdoor lakefront terrace, 12 guestrooms, Restaurant Fifty-Nine, a steak-themed restaurant serving three meals daily, a lounge, and a well-appointed golf shop.

It’s rare that one resort can offer so many authentic experiences.

While the course consists of approximately 5800 yards of manicured greens, it plays much longer thanks to cool island breezes.

The course is especially proud of its recent accolade by The Florida Department of Environmental Protection, who awarded The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club the highest grade on the island for their commitment to preserving the environment by reducing fertilizer use, growing higher grasses to filter water and adding diffusers to increase oxygen in the lakes.

The Dunes was also voted “Best Golf Course in Lee County” by readers of Gulfshore Life Magazine, a distinct honor considering the staggering number of courses in the immediate area. The club, which underwent a thorough renovation in 2016, also completed a swimming pool restoration project in 2019.

“We are Sanibel Island’s premier golf destination, known for stunning fairways, playability and abundant wildlife,” said Brian Kautz General Manager of The Dunes Golf and Tennis Club. “On any given day you’ll see the bald eagles, osprey, blue herons, cranes and alligators that reside on our picturesque grounds.”

THE CLUB AT IBIS

T

This Palm Beach enclave with three Nicklaus courses offers the best of both worlds—city sophistication and convenience in a lush oasis of unexpected tranquility Florida is treasured for its wildlife and nowhere is it more abundant, or more revered, than within the gates of The Club at Ibis on the western outskirts of West Palm Beach. Just a few miles west of I-95 and minutes from the elegance and diversions of the Palm Beaches, this private golf community bordered by the 12,000-acre Grassy Waters Nature Preserve feels like an oasis of natural beauty.

From the moment you enter royal palm-lined Ibis Boulevard, you feel a world apart.

The landscaping is lush, scenic lakes accent the grounds, and birds—spoonbills, blue heron, sandhill cranes, and ibis—are always in view. The streets are lined with trails for walking, jogging, and biking in the midst of the beauty. Ibis has a flavor unlike any other luxurious residential community in this desirable region of Florida.

Golf certainly defines the Ibis experience. This is the only club in the world with three Nicklaus family courses ( Jack, Jack II, and Steve) and each of them are unique. Jack’s Signature Legend Course features an abundance of mounding. Jack II’s Heritage gives you the benefit of generous fairways, but requires more water carries. And Steve’s Tradition is more links style, with undulating greens that place a premium on your short game. Play all 54 holes and you’ll never see the same hole twice.

What all the courses have in common, beyond the Nicklaus stamp, outstanding layouts, and meticulous grooming, is that the finishing holes of each course comprise arguably the three hardest finishing holes in Palm Beach County, which sits just fine with a membership that loves to play golf. The Club boasts numerous member

events and playing opportunities for all skill levels.

Heading up a friendly instructional staff of 11 is Martin Hall, host of Golf Channel’s popular program, School of Golf. One the country’s top 50 instructors, Hall is a veteran of the European Tour and has taught players on the PGA Tour, Champions Tour, and LPGA Tour, including Morgan Pressel.

While the superb quality of the golf initially draws many to Ibis, it is the extraordinary quality of life (what they refer to as The Ibis ExperienceTM) that makes this multi-generational membership well satisfied.

Great pride is taken to create as many activities to enjoy as possible. That is important, as this is a year-round south Florida community (more than half the members consider this their permanent home) that is engaged and very active every season. Facilities are open all year and there is always plenty going on, including tennis (16 Har-Tru, HydroGrid-lighted courts), bocce ball, pickleball, water aerobics, card games, kids’ camps, and popular member events held at the clubhouse.

Cultural opportunities abound thanks to the tireless efforts of the Ibis Cultural Association. Members can participate in acting and writing workshops, take language and art classes, perform in musical presentations, showcase their photography, and sharpen their cooking skills. The roster of events is diverse and full. BodyMind ConnectionTM programming includes the Club’s annual Health & Wellness Expo, keynote speakers, and healthy menu options at the four on-site restaurants.

Members stay active at the expansive Sports Village, an unbelievable gathering place for families and friends. The Sports Village consists of a two-story fitness complex, full-service spa, casual bistro, and a resort-style aquatic center. Here members enjoy Pilates, yoga, spinning classes, swimming laps, relaxing in the spa, or dining poolside with friends.

The modern Clubhouse (remodeled a few years back) includes a spacious cultural activities room, card rooms, an exquisite ballroom with pre-function spaces, a library, and several dining venues including a formal dining restaurant and bar, casual pub with an outdoor terrace, and main grille dining overlooking Jack’s Legend Course.

With more than 1,800 homes featuring lake, golf, or preserve views in a collection of 33 beautiful neighborhoods, there are plenty of choices when it comes to finding the home that suits you best.

Ibis offers everything from golf villas, condominiums, single-family homes and custom estate homes, priced from the $200,000s into the millions.

Ibis is an equity club owned by the members, who are justifiably proud of their spectacular amenities, unsurpassed lifestyle, and well-earned reputation. The readers of the Palm Beach Post voted Ibis as the 2019 Best Country Club in Palm Beach County. The much-awarded club is an Emerald Club of Distinction, a Platinum Club of America, one of Americas Healthiest Clubs.

Whether a beginner, an amateur or a seasoned professional, there is a course to fit all skill levels when golfers come to Florida to hit the links.

tinue to visit to Panama City Beach for its challenging but beautiful courses and endless sunshine,” shares President and CEO of Visit Panama City Beach Dan Rowe. “With greens and fairways that never disappoint, visitors always come back for an unparalleled golf vacation at the Real. FUN. Beach.”

Located only minutes from the beach, the celebrated course has hosted numerous regional and local events including the USGA U.S. Open Qualifier in 2016. In the summer of 2018, the Nicklaus Course underwent a greens conversion which involved a full-till process. This major renovation included upgrading the original specs of the greens sprigged with ultra-dwarf grass to improve course playability, green speeds and green receptiveness year-round. The renovation also included new green-side bunkers on all the holes throughout the course.

Florida’s First Coast

Your perfect golf getaway is so close. Just a road trip away, you could be out on the beautiful fairways of Florida’s First Coast. This fivecounty area is home to dozens of world-class golf courses in Amelia Island, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Clay County, or Palm Coast. As the leaves begin to fall in your backyard, doesn’t a 75-degree golf day with an ocean breeze sound

amazing? Put your cold-weather gear away for a little while longer and enjoy a bit of endless summer with us on the links.

Summer and fall are the perfect seasons to play on Northeast Florida courses such as the TPC Sawgrass (home of the PGA TOUR’s THE PLAYERS Championship), the two courses at World Golf Village (Slammer & Squire and King & Bear), and the Hammock Beach Resort Ocean Course & Conservatory Course in Palm Coast. Spend a day, a weekend, a week, or longer playing in a beautiful coastal setting. Take advantage of the season’s longer days and get more time in on the course with extended twilight hours.

After you face the wetland-filled hazards of the 17th hole at Omni Amelia Island’s Oak Marsh Course, you may need to take a break and relax on the pristine beaches nearby.

Players can enjoy easy beach access while staying at The Omni Amelia Island Resort, Seaside Amelia Inn, or Residence Inn Amelia Island.

The 19th hole calls your name and glass of vintage wine taste all that much better in the luxurious dining areas at resort facilities such as the Sawgrass Marriott in Ponte Vedra or One Ocean Resort & Spa in Atlantic Beach.

As a premier golf destination, the First Coast offers many excellent opportunities to improve your game and upgrade what’s in your bag.

Honours invites you to Train Like A Legend at the World Golf Village. This all-inclusive getaway package includes once-in-a-lifetime training at the PGA TOUR Golf Academy.

Golfing on Florida’s Sports Coast

A destination for the adventurous, Florida’s Sports Coast is an unbeatable location for golf enthusiasts. With 18 top-notch courses – and several world-famous ones – you’ll discover over 320 holes designed for golfers of all abilities, making it easy to find the perfect course that suits your game. Many of golf’s top players and designers – names like Arnold Palmer, Tom Lehman, Kurt Sandness, and Robert Trent Jones Sr. – have contributed to the courses on Florida’s Sports Coast, providing a wide range of design styles, exciting layouts, and varying wilderness areas. Coupled with the yearround warm weather of this area, you’ll find every round of golf on Florida’s Sports Coast is both challenging and enjoyable.

SADDLEBROOK Home to two of Florida’s Sports Coast’s most picturesque and playable courses, Saddlebrook is a well-known destination for world-class golf. Both courses were designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer and feature rolling fairways, well-maintained greens and wilderness areas full of cypress, pine and palm trees.

Contoured to resemble a rolling New England course, the 6,641-yard Palmer Golf

Couse is a Par-71 masterpiece without equal.

Here, you’ll find generous driving areas and TifEagle greens that are firm, fast and undulating. Facing the green from the slanting fairways, the small elevated emerald islands are framed by white-faced bunkers, azure FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM

ponds and gently swaying palm trees. On this course, some holes require strength, but all reward finesse.

The Saddlebrook Golf Couse is 6,480 yards of unparalleled golf surrounded by cypress and oak trees. On this beautiful Par-

70 course, you’ll find emerald-ribbon fairways, white-faced bunkers, lush greens and low hanging Spanish moss. Don’t miss out on this amazing course, the 425-yard signature hole (the 18th hole) is famously tricky, and you’ll want to tell this golfing story for years to come.

LAKE JOVITA GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB Designed by US Open Champion Tom Lehman and golf course architect Kurt Sandness, the 220-acre Lake Jovita South Course takes full advantage of the unique hilly terrain to create a course that is professional tour quality in every sense. A Par-72 course, you’ll enjoy generous fairways, velvet greens, and immaculate course conditions.

Also, the 11th hole features a 94-foot drop from tee to green—the largest natural elevation change in the state of Florida!

The 263-acre Lake Jovita North Course is equally impressive. A little more contemporary in style, this Par-72 course has even greater elevation changes than the South Course. In fact, from the second tee box, you can see five or six miles to the northeast! A delight to play, you don’t want to miss out on this course’s beautiful fairways, soft greens, and challenging layouts.

FOX HOLLOW GOLF CLUB One of Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s last designs, Fox Hollow Golf Club is a masterpiece Par71 course. Featuring Sea Dwarf, Seashore

Paspalum greens, rolling fairways, and large white-sand bunkers, this 7,079-yard course provides a true test for golfers of all skill levels. Complete with a grass driving range with over 25 hitting stations, a chipping green with a practice bunker, and a 10,800

square foot practice green, it’s easy to see why this is an unrivaled Florida golf course.

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

FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM

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.

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

FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM

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.

If it’s time to play outdoors, then only a tee time in Paradise will do.

It’s been difficult to do many of the things we love lately. Fortunately, golf isn’t one of them! Florida’s Paradise Coast is the perfect place to tee it up safely on one or more of our 90 exceptional public and private courses that have earned us the reputation of North America’s No. 1 golf destination.

AROUND HERE, EVERY SEASON IS GOLF SEASON. Mother Nature must be a single-digit handicapper, because she always sees to it that the weather on Florida’s Paradise Coast is absolutely perfect for a round of golf.

From December through May, you can trade your winter boots for golf shoes and tee it up under sunny, clear blue skies every day. Be advised, however: It’s the peak tourist season, so tee times may be limited.

From June through November, you can take advantage of the area’s “value season.”

That means fewer golfers, faster play, and even discounted greens fees and hotel rates.

Summer and fall temperatures are warmer, of course, so it’s best to make your tee times early. You’ll be off the course and on the beach by midday!

THE ONE GOLF DESTINATION WHERE WATER ALWAYS COMES INTO PLAY. On Florida’s Paradise Coast, the only thing more impressive than its golf courses are its award-winning beaches.

The area boasts 30 miles of uncrowded white sand beaches along the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. They’re the perfect place to relax after a day on the links, or enjoy a barefoot stroll on the beach at sunset.

Of course, if you’re looking to add a little more excitement to your visit, there are plenty of other ways to make a splash.

Rent a paddleboard or kayak and navigate the calm waters of the Gulf. Rent a watercraft and explore the mangrove-surrounded waterways of the Ten Thousand Islands.

Hop aboard one of the area’s many sightseeing boats for a leisurely cruise where you can spot dolphins, manatees, eagles and more.

Or simply charter a fishing boat and reel in The Big One on a deep-sea excursion you’ll never forget.

With so much water at your disposal, there’s no limit to the ways you can enjoy it – or the memories you’ll head home with!

AS MANY PLACES TO STAY AS THERE ARE TO PLAY. Finding the perfect place to stay when you visit Florida’s Paradise Coast is easy. It all depends on what you’re looking for.

If you want to stay as close to the action as possible, there are numerous golf resorts and hotels that offer access to some of the area’s most exclusive private courses. The Tiburon Golf Club at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples offers their famed Gold and Black Courses, both designed by Greg Norman. The JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort offers access to the Rookery and Hammock Bay, along with some of the

most amazing waterfront Gulf views you’ll ever see. The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club has the oldest golf course in Naples and is part of Florida’s Historic Golf Trail.

And the Naples Grande Beach Resort and LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort each offer their own stunning courses.

If you’re simply looking for a place to lay your head at the end of a long day of golf, there are countless other lodging options.

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

Golf Digest has ranked the area as “3rd Best Place in the Country to Live and Play Golf.”

Although Florida’s terrain is relatively flat, Southwest Florida is home to many different types of ecosystems providing the aesthetic appeal and natural obstacles necessary to enhance and challenge a player’s experience.

One can choose an itinerary of courses to include heavily wooded terrain, salt marshes, and wetlands, as well as Audubon certified courses teeming with a variety of native wildlife. This diverse pool of courses also features two 4 ½ star courses, including Riverwood Golf Club, which was recently ranked by Golf Advisor as the #26 course in the United States and the #4 course in the state of Florida. And more courses are added all the time, with Babcock National and Heritage Landing Golf & Country Club recently joining the party.

Whether taking a golf vacation with the guys or gals or simply playing a couple rounds during a family vacation, this is FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM

a safe, healthy activity that enables small groups to avoid large crowds of people. And it doesn’t need to be stressful or cost a fortune. In fact, the area was named the U.S. Best Value Destination in 2014 by Trivago.

According to the world’s largest online hotel search site, the destination offers “the biggest bang for your buck on vacation.” Adding to the value, virtually every course in Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach is open to the public year-round and greens fees (with a cart) in peak season average approximately $55 per round with summer and fall rates even lower. Plus, find adventure off the greens with nearly 200 miles of Blueway Trails ideal for kayaking, canoeing and standup paddle boarding. Charlotte Harbor has been named one of the top 10 places to sail

by SAIL Magazine and the area is known for its world-class fishing with offshore and back bay angling opportunities. For a true adrenaline rush, fish for silver king in the Tarpon Capital of the World.

Speaking of water, soak up the sun and beachcomb on some of the 12 miles of Gulf of Mexico beaches, or, island hop without a passport. Five barrier islands hug the coast with some only accessible by boat offering a true natural Florida adventure.

On land, take advantage of the City of Punta Gorda’s free bicycle loaner program.

Pedal away on either one of the four bicy-

cle routes, which range from 17 to 31 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 Charlotte Harbor & the Gulf Islands is an eclectic mix of seafood shacks, sidewalk cafés, waterfront eateries, fine dining and sweet spots, and in 2020 was ranked #2 in the USA Today Best Small Town Food Scenes 10Best list. Primary

FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM

dining districts include downtown Punta Gorda, Fishermen’s Village, Manasota Key and Englewood’s Dearborn Street. Familiar chain restaurants are bountiful, too.

Whatever the craving and occasion, there’s a restaurant satisfying every taste bud.

THAT DINNER

WON’T PAY FOR ITSELF. Switch to GEICO and save money for the things you love.

Maybe it’s that high-end client dinner. Or the last-minute flight overseas. Doing business is what you love – and it doesn’t come cheap. So switch to GEICO, because you could save 15% or more on car insurance. And that would help make the things you love that much easier to get.
