I'm not a golfer and wouldn't know the difference between a Wedge and a 4 Iron, the 19th hole is more my thing. However there are more courses around than you can shake a golf club at. Apparently prices for a round or two vary considerably. The nearest golf course to Tuscan Ridge is HIGHLANDS RESERVE championship course within 5 minutes drive, with Champions Gate a close second This was recommended to me by another villa owner:- Golf yes a subject close to my heart, Willowbrook down just off 27 past Haines city Wallmart. next major intersection past Wallmart you will hit a set of lights with a big ford dealership and a Hess gas station, take a right this road goes to Winterhaven. follow this road for approx 5 miles past a big Wallmart depot on your right and as the road bears round a bend Willowbrook comes up on your left hand side. Last time they charged me $25 for 18 holes and a drive on buggy. |
Here's a list of local golf courses and a
map of their location.

| The new
CHAMPIONS GATE, David Ledbetter Championship Golf Course is only 7 or 8
