Golfing in Orlando
What you need to know before you go

Central Florida is golf heaven. If Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer call Orlando their home, you know the golf must be good here.

Just about every other community boasts a golf course, with some designed by legends like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Robert Trent Jones and Tom Watson. In all, there's over 175 golf courses within an hour's drive of Orlando. So whether you're a beginner or a pro, there's a golf course waiting for you in Orlando.

MyFlaVacation has built a directory of public courses and golf schools in and around Orlando that will get you out in the beautiful Florida sun for a day of golf you'll never forget.

Orlando also hosts two annual PGA tournaments you may want to check out -- The Arnold Palmer Invitational in March and the Walt Disney World Classic in October.
