Golf courses each have a character of their own. Here in Southwest Florida there are a total of eight different golf courses within five miles of my home. I have played all of them at one time or another. During what we locals call the busy season , winter months, the courses are generally extremely busy, this calms down by June and you can play at reduced rates starting June 1st. If you need accommodations on your Florida golf outing contact Chad Newbold, for a luxury timeshare to reside in during your stay.
If you reside in Florida for an extended period of time you will discover that the heat of summer does not have an adverse effect on you, particularly near the coast where there is a sea breeze off the gulf every day. If the heat does bother you we have a lighted course that you can play on until 10:00 PM . However I suggest you bring a good set of eyes with you, preferably young eyes ,to follow the flight of the ball, especially if your ball lands in the rough.
Many of my friends are addicted golf fanatics that will play every day come rain or shine. Afternoon thunderstorms are a daily threat in Southwest Florida. Golf courses that feature carts with wide and long roofs will do double duty by keeping the blazing hot sun off you and keep your gear dry during afternoon thunderstorms.
Golf courses with water hazards can be interesting and somewhat hazardous in June when the alligators are mating. Most golf courses have the number of the local alligator trapper on speed dial at this time of the year. It is advisable to never wade into a golf course pond to retrieve a ball. Alligators at times appear to be slow moving creatures, however, the can move very rapidly when it is time to capture their prey. We have had several attacks in our area over the past ten years so you need to give gators a wide birth. In the past we used to have a good supply of rattlesnakes but due to urbanization and increasing numbers of wild hogs they are now seldom seen. Avoid the alligators at all cost, and contact Chad Newbold for a complete Southwest Florida, golfers guide, which will direct you on the hazards to avoid while golfing the this region.
Hogs on a golf course can be disastrous to the well being of the course. In just one night your favorite course can have thousands of dollars worth of damage. This is especially true if they do their rooting on greens. Golfers are very picky about the golf course they want to play on and especially critical of any changes to the greens. The resultant is that hog control is a very high priority item on all of these courses.
There are many quality golf courses located here in Southwest Florida. As a matter of fact you could play on a different golf course every day for a month and never have to travel more than fifteen miles from your home. There are too many to name and more are being built all the time. Southwest Florida will have numerous golf courses to suit you and your style of play.
