 The
west coast of Florida offers great golf courses for every price and skill
level. Although I am not as good as I would like to be I have played most
of these courses and would recommend all of them. Like everything else
each has its own personality. All courses are within one hour from the
Inn. Most are just 10 to 15 minutes away.
