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

The state of Florida boasts 88 private clubs receiving a GolfDay<\/mark><\/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 270 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

Our Top 60 are included below, or you can browse through all private courses in Florida<\/mark><\/a>, listed by GolfDay Rating. The GolfDay search engine<\/mark><\/a> is available as well to find the top rated clubs and courses where you are or where you plan to be.   Clubs are ranked on the basis of GolfDay Rating<\/mark><\/a>, and listings include the year a club was founded, course architect(s), current USGA course and slope ratings, links to the club website and course description\/design, as well as a link to the GolfDay Rating page with location link to Google Maps for each club.<\/p>\n\n\n
