Aptly named the “Blue Monster”, the course measures in at an enormous 7,590 yards and features an array of water hazards which are sure to have a few golf balls in them. In 2014, the course underwent a re-vamp which saw every hole resculpted and designed into the modern day masterpieces they are now. The deep bunkers, thick rough and undulating greens requires golfers to drive the ball long but also have a razor sharp short game in order to score.
The course has hosted numerous world golf championships and has a closing hole that is viewed as one of the toughest holes on the PGA Tour. Florida’s year round sun makes it a great play championship golf courses and escape the dark winters of the U.K.

Prices including a return flight, 5 Nights, room only and 3 rounds of golf tend to start from around £769 per person (based on twin / double occupancy). Green fees can vary significantly from as low as £40 per round to over £400 at top-rated golf courses. Prices can vary by state but the lowest prices will be found in the Summer season (June to September) with higher prices found between October and May when golf is particularly popular in America.
The United States is one of the best countries in the world to play golf, and that means that there is a large number of golf courses. It is an ever changing number but the best estimate is there are over 15,000 golf courses throughout America. Florida, Arizona and California lead the way with around a 1000 courses each but that leaves plenty of options throughout the other states for golfers to get a round in.
