Florida has depended on tourism since the earliest days of American ownership. Entrepreneurs, scoundrels, and visionaries flocked to the Sunshine State to take advantage of the natural resources—land, water, climate, natural beauty, flora, and fauna—to implement their schemes and dreams. The majority of these schemes depended on convincing individuals from northern states to invest in their projects or to vacation in the state. One of the attractions was golf. Every Florida resort of note included a golf course, and golf became the major attraction for winter visitors and part-time residents. This book provides a brief history of golf in Florida, focuses on the men who designed the courses, and provides a guide to the resorts that catered to the game. |

With millions of golfers hitting the links in Florida each year, the Sunshine State has become one of the most desirable places in the world to tee up on a golf vacation. 52 Great Florida Golf Getaways offers golfers-even non-golfers-everything they need to know to plan the golf getaway of a lifetime. The 192-page, soft cover book, is the first comprehensive review of all of Florida's major golf resorts and attractions. 52 Great Florida Golf Getaways is a unique source for the avid golfer, casual golfer, non-golfing spouses, travel agents, meeting planners, business executives and others seeking information about the state's best resorts and golf courses. According to author Ed Schmidt Jr., "Today's golf vacation experience is more family oriented. There are more women and juniors playing golf than ever before." He adds, "In recent years, Florida's golf resorts have added spas, huge, entertainment-oriented swimming pools and children's programs making the properties even more appealing to non-golfers in the family." From the blindingly white sand bunkers of the panhandle to the palmetto-framed fairways of Miami, Schmidt, in his breezy, witty style reviews 52 of Florida's best places to tee up. The book is filled with information on courses, strategies, golf schools and course architects. For non-golfers, Schmidt has highlighted numerous off-the-course activities such as top notch shopping and dining and nearby attractions. Meeting and convention planners will find meeting space specifications. Also included are phone numbers and web-sites for resorts. |

Florida offers more than a thousand accessible and affordable golf courses, which attract more than two million golfers every year. Moore’s guide to 60 golfing venues in the Sunshine State caters to all budgets by featuring public courses, semi-private clubs where daily-fee players are welcome, and resorts that offer on-site accommodations. Moore explores each course’s character—from its architect, design, and history to an analysis of each hole, including advice on drive and approach shots and helpful observations on hazards and putting surfaces. Arranged in four geographical sections with maps showing course locations and featuring 100 black-and-white and 20 color photographs, this guide includes detailed directions allowing easy access from the nearest interstates and other major roads. Moore also includes current green fees, phone numbers, and Web sites, as well as yardage and course and slope ratings for blue and red tees. As a bonus, Moore directs golfers to places of history—such as the course where Jack Nicklaus once carded a 7 and the 1920s resort where Johnny Weissmuller was a lifeguard. Both the recreational golfer and the keen student of the sport will find Florida’s Fairways a handy, richly informative, and enjoyable guide. |
