Golf in Venice Florida
Florida, the Sunshine State, is a true Golfer’s heaven. This popular vacation destination with year round outdoor weather, miles of beautiful beaches, unique flora and fauna has basically developed into a mecca for golfers. Approximately 1250 golf courts have established over the last years, most of them in a very clean condition that leaves nothing to be desired.
Venice, the City on the Gulf, is indeed a great location for Golf Players. There is a large selection of first class semi-private and public courses, where visitors can play during their vacation without a mandatory membership. Most Golf Clubs also provide the service to book Tee Times online.
Please see the map Golf inVenice for an overview. The green dot is our Villa Happy Gator. Within a 20 minutes drive you can reach 20 courses – so there are in fact plenty of great possibilities.
