Westin Florida Golf Courses

Located approximately twenty minutes from Fort Lauderdale in Florida lies the picturesque Westin area. This idea location is not only close to the big city but borders the stunning wilderness that is the Florida Everglades. Westin Florida golf courses are a big tourist attraction, and for good reason. There are several fantastic choices available, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Here are some of the top picks to help make choosing the right course a bit easier:

The Copperhead course at the Westin Innisbrook is a popular choice with both amateurs and pros as it hosts the Chrysler Championship each year. The spacious green terrain and the splendid pines are a marvel, and the course itself is challenging enough for pros yet still fun for beginners. This course is a par 71 and spans 7300 yards. Designed by Larry Packard, Copperhead is a delight and a definite must-visit for tourists to the area.

Then there's the Claw golf course conveniently located near the Busch Gardens amusement park. The tall pines native to the area are found here, as are incredible oak trees that are draped with moss, making them even more stunning. There are not only easy par 3 holes on this course, but also challenging holes fit for professionals. It's the perfect course for a group that has members of different skill levels. Between the great golfing, the stocked pro shop, the fantastic restaurant and bar, and the top notch service, Claw is one of the finest courses you will find in Westin.

The Eagles Golf Club is another great choice in this area of Florida. It offers a course called Forest which was designed by Rick Robbins, Gary Koch and Ron Garl. As you might imagine, the natural beauty of the forest environment comes into play while on this course. There are easy holes, difficult holes, rolling greens and more exotic areas surrounded by thick foliage. One of the most famous holes is the 13th which features a large water hazard. No matter how long you've been golfing, you'll enjoy this fun and beautiful course. While there are many Westin Florida golf courses from which you can choose, this one is sure to please most every golf lover!
