Florida not only hosted four PGA tour events in 2009 -the Players Championship, Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard and the World Golf Championships-CA Champsionship; the sunshine state is also the home of Tiger Woods -current number one, Arnold Palmer and even the Golf Channel.  Apart from that, there are several courses which have been designed by some of the most important golf players of all times.

However, when planning golfing holidays, people should pay special attention to the accommodation. If there are some concerns related to costs and expenditure, people are strongly recommended to reserve a villa on the golf course; on the other hand, this can be the best way to avoid the crowds of tourists who are visiting the theme parks.

Some of the most popular Florida golfing accommodations include:

Southern Dunes Resort and Country club is a gated community built around the most prestigious golf courses in Florida. There is a communal swimming pool, children's playground, tennis courts, volleyball and basket ball, and private screened pools in all properties. The location is very convenient and is well catered by a variety of restaurants, bars and malls; it is also very close to the major attractions: Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Island of Adventure, Wet n Wild and Sea World.

Mystic Dunes Resort and Golf Club offers a condo style accommodation, but perhaps the main attraction is a 18-hole golf course designed by Gary Koch. People can enjoy any of the four pools, including the Dunes lagoon, a two-acre recreation area featuring a two-storey water slide anchored by a 30-foot tall rock wall overlooking a massive pool. The resort is conveniently located near to Disney's Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom, SeaWorld and Universal Studios Orlando.

Highland Reserve features a well-known 18-hole PGA Golf Course. The executive homes -with private screened pools- have been nestled into the grounds making this an amazing place for holidays. Highlands Reserve is located within 15 minutes drive from the major theme parks and resorts.

Important questions to ask when renting one of the many Disney villas, Orlando villas or Florida vacation rentals that are available Mar 16, 2010 - 8:09:37 AM Make sure that the cost you are being quoted for the vacation villa is the all inclusive price.   This may seem like an obvious question, but you would be very surprised how many people do not ask this question.   They are then left with a very sour taste in their mouths when they are suddenly confronted with additional costs.   Some people still do not read the small print and go ahead and sign almost anything.   All good tour operators and private homeowners will make the total cost very clear, but if you are unsure, it is always best to ask.   Honest homeowners will not mind you asking at all.   Ensure that VAT/ USA Tax included.... [Read the full story]
