The Best Hotels for Golf in Orlando
With a climate made for outdoor activities, it’s no surprise that Central Florida offers some of the best golf resorts in the world. More than 100 public and private courses dot the landscape around Orlando, designed by the likes of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Tom Watson, and Tom Fazio. The courses are as varied as the resorts that house them, and include rolling hills, links, and fairways lined with palms, live oaks, and cypress trees. Here are some of our favorite golf resorts.
