Winter Golf Destinations Are Plentiful and Is One That’s Also Reasonable
Florida is definitely a haven from the winter season and with good reason; daylight, beaches, palm trees and in addition… The Golf. It appears you can’t drive more than a few miles without finding a greens in Florida. The trick is to look for quality golf for affordable prices. The PGA Village in Port St. Lucie provides both.
Located just off I-95 you will see the PGA Village, a tremendous bunch of golf courses, practice facilities, the PGA museum and restaurants. After you enter the area you literally doesn’t have to leave until your stay is over.
Accommodations are plentiful through private home, villa or condo rentals, in addition to hotel and time share reservations. Counting on that you stay, chances are you ll receive discounted green fees in the amount of as many as 25% off. This happened how it is for my last stay at the Sheraton PGA.
Be warned, though, for those who elect to stay at the Sheraton PGA make certain your unit being a lanai (mine did not and it became claustrophobic real quick). Other than that, the stay was enjoyable; there’s a nice size pool, BB-Q areas and all though there is no lounge or dining facilities on premises, there is the Sam Sneed Tavern in the block with the Hilton Garden Inn.
The atmosphere is warm and classy; the food was reasonably priced and excellent in each of variety and quality. There is a considerable amount of Mr. Sneed’s memorabilia show cased throughout the restaurant, including his 82 gold medallions presented to that person upon each of his PGA Tour victories. It is much impactful to check out these medallions in a single place and to go over dates and locations of your tournaments. If you are a lover of golf, history or just simply plain greatness his success really hits home.
Now for the truly special part about the PGA Village at Port ST. Lucie, the GOLF. You will find three courses, the Wanamaker and the Ryder (both Tom Fazio designs) and the Pete Dye designed Dye course. All operate out of 1 club house and share a standard practice range. Uniquely, though, each course maintains its own practice green create by way of the first tee box to properly provide you with pleasure of the greens at the course you will be getting ready to play.
Each course offers its own feel; there is nothing repetitive from course to course other than the meticulous appearance of the courses from tee to green. Counting on whom you talk over with, you can find varying opinions on which is in fact harder and what kind is a bit more fun to play. A gradual diet of most three will boost the game, as all 3 present a complete test of golf. I would recommend, however, you don’t start off the initial day around the Dye course; as that will be the more visually challenging of the three.
The seasons determine the green fees and the fees were scheduled to end up up some time after my departure, that’s Oct. 3rd. It s always best to call ahead to see the green fees for your time you are planning your golf vacation, that being said, I paid $83.00 for 3 rounds of golf.
