Florida Villas for the Perfect Golf Holiday

If you’re looking for the perfect golfing holiday, you need to rent out one of the luxurious Florida villas in Naples.

Florida Villas for Golf

If you’re a golf enthusiast you should consider renting one of the luxury Florida villas near the hundreds of golf courses in the Sunshine State. With over 1,000 courses available catering to every level of player, Marco Island has over 40 courses in the Naples area with more being constructed every year, and the Southeast coast has over 100 courses. So there is certainly choice and variety – although one thing is constant – the sun drenched weather.

Why Naples?

Naples is the jewel in the crown of Southwest Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. Renowned for its luxury Florida villas, world class shopping, dining and challenging golf courses, you can find island seclusion or tropical wilderness. Naples is the ideal spot for nature fans, sports enthusiasts and those searching for outdoor recreational activities.

The A-list

Naples was dubbed by the New York Times as ‘Florida’s chicest city’ and the retirement villages have made way for ritzy gated communities with fine dining, trendy crowds and five-star golf destinations. If you want to nosey at the Florida villas that look like they belong to the jet set and A-list crowd, Naples is the place to hang out.

On the map

In the late 1990s Greg Norman found an old tomato field in Naples and carved a 36-hole golf club out of it, soon after more courses opened to rival Norman’s. Naples became an overnight golf Mecca. For most golf enthusiasts, it’s the perfect holiday to rent one of the deluxe Florida villas in Naples, unpack the golf clubs and hit the fairways.

All year-round

The appeal for the golfer is Naples never really has an off-season. You can rent one of the luxurious Florida villas year round, the high season is January to April and you can enjoy average winter temperatures in the mid-70s. It can get hot in the high season, but nothing an ice cold drink, with your toes dipped in your own private swimming pool as you relax in one of the luxury Florida villas couldn’t fix.

Recommended golf courses to visit if you’re staying at one of the deluxe Florida villas in Naples include:

• Naples Grande G.C. Designed by Rees Jones, fantastic contours feature in this 250-acre site with a 30-acre lake centrepiece.

• The Gold Course at Tiburón was laid out by Greg Norman, this course kicked off the late-'90s golf boom. The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club is a charming throwback to the way things were.

• Raptor Bay. This Raymond Floyd design fits into the surrounding wetland preserves and works with the environment – there are no artificial sand bunkers and no rough, giving the course a playability and charm.
