Top Golf Courses In South Florida

Golf is a great sport and especially in South Florida, natives and tourists need to know about access to public golf courses. The game can be hard and frustrating to learn, but these five courses have opportunities for novices and seasoned players to learn or refresh their golf game and start or continue their love for the game. At best, golf is a relaxing but challenging sport that puts people in touch with nature and makes them bring out the best in themselves for a singular achievement of completing a hole under par.

A 9-hole executive length, municipal golf course is perfect for a golf novice or friends who wish to try something different than always going out to Las Olas Boulevard on weekends.

It's part of the larger Hollywood Beach golf resort on Johnson Street, but the Eco course is only nine holes and is open to the public.

Enjoy!
