Things to do in Florida, Emerald Coast

Welcome to the Northwest Florida Golf Trail – Golf THE Beach! Believe it or not, Northwest Florida has some of the best championship golf courses in the state. The rolling dunescapes, varied elevations and stunning scenery of THE Beach have inspired golf course architects like Palmer, Jones, Fazio, Pate, Jackson, Nicklaus and Player to create world-class layouts, making THE Beach a world-class golf destination. In all, there are nearly 50 courses to play with varying degrees of difficulty, some set among centuries-old oaks and others in the hushed interiors of a dune line with spectacular gulf views. Golf Digest and Golf magazine describe many Northwest Florida courses as some of the “best in the U.S.” The region’s innumerable bayous, creeks, freshwater rivers, wetlands areas, bays and beachfront come into play on nearly every course. Even better, the seasons here differ from the rest of Florida and terrific hotel rates and golf packages can be found beginning in October and lasting through April, which are THE perfect golf weather months.
