Fantastic golfing in Orlando, Florida
You will never be at a loss for a good golf club in Orlando. There are literally hundreds of very good golf clubs, within easy reach, no matter where you stay in Orlando. You can take your own clubs although many airlines charge you for doing this. You also have the opportunity to hire clubs and golf carts at most of the courses. Please note that golf clubs in the USA don't allow the use of golf shoes with metal spikes. Make sure you pack a set of plastic spikes if you are taking your own shoes. A bit of advice though, if you hit your ball into the water or long grass or reeds, don’t go looking for it, or your not so friendly Alligators might have something to say about it?
