While there are a great many fantastic public golf courses in Florida<\/span><\/a>, membership at a top echelon private club assures that you\u2019ll have a quality golf experience every time you tee it up. Limited play at private clubs pretty much guarantees that course conditions will always be great, and you can also say goodbye to the 5-hour round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state of Florida boasts 54 private clubs receiving a GolfDay<\/span><\/a> rating of 90 or higher (Premium), by far the highest of any state in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florida also includes over 160 clubs with a GolfDay rating above 80 (high quality), again the most of any state, so chances are pretty good that you won\u2019t have to look far to find a great club to call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve included our Top 35 below, or you can spin through our file of all private courses in Florida<\/span><\/a>, listed by GolfDay Rating. The GolfDay search engine<\/span><\/a> is available as well to find the best courses by proximity to your location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clubs are ranked on the basis of GolfDay Rating<\/span><\/a>, and listings include the year a club was founded, course architect(s), current USGA course and slope ratings, a link for the course website, and a notation if currently ranked by Golf Digest (locally or nationally). A link to the GolfDay course page is also included along with a link to Google Maps for each location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
