52 Great Florida Golf Getaways

Book Description
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.
