Open Waters and Lush Fairways; Just What the Doctor Prescribed

By: eYachtCharter.com


As summer comes to an end, many vacationers and “snowbirds” are planning their retreats down to Florida. From Pensacola down to Key West, Florida’s coastlines offer breathtaking ocean scenes and some of the nations finest golf resorts.

Many travelers today are looking to couple luxurious amenities with variety for their vacation plans. Florida offers activities that everyone can enjoy. As a result, a Florida Yacht Charter vacation is one of the most popular ways to travel the peninsula and make stops along the way.

The experience of staying aboard a Luxury Yacht Charter is comparable to a stay at the Ritz Carlton on Water. With a crewed motor yacht, a captain and crew are there to cater to their guests’ every whim. Before each charter a full itinerary is created to include all of the activities that a family or couple request for their personal vacation. Whether the guest is looking to fish, Jet Ski, golf or swim, a luxury yacht charter will have it covered.

For this upcoming winter season Golfing destinations will be showcased as a major highlight for charterers. With first class marinas located along the Florida Gulf and Atlantic Coasts, arranging a car service from the marina to the country club is no problem at all. Florida has quite a few innovative and prestigious golfing destinations that will challenge your skills and have views that will take your breath away. Most golfers won’t even have to leave early to warm up at the driving range because some of today’s luxury vessels have a personal driving range located on the top deck. Here are three fantastic golfing locations with exceptional designs and splendor that are unsurpassed.

The Breakers Palm Beach is one of Florida’s finest resorts. This paradise has two championship golf courses that challenge both pros and vacationers. The courses were meticulously designed for players of any caliber. The Ocean Course was Florida’s very first 18-hole golf course. The course was recently redesigned to preserve its traditional character but with less than 6,500 yards, shot precision is crucial.

If your looking for a designer course the Breakers Rees Jones® Course is located only a few miles away. This course was recently reconstructed and named to be one of the premier golf experiences in the southeast U.S., reflecting the unparalleled new-classic style of renowned golf course architect Rees Jones.

One of Florida’s most recently designed golf destinations is located in Port St. Lucie. Another water front fairway retreat is about to begin construction and will boast a challenging Jack Nicklaus Signature Designed Golf Course. Santa Lucia River Club will include a resort, condominiums, villas, spa, country club and a 67-slip deep-water marina with Ocean Access from the St. Lucie River. This exclusive locale will accommodate the complete mariner and country club lifestyle for discerning travelers and residents.

If the Keys are more appealing, then cruise down to Key Largo and try your luck at the Card Sound Golf Club. Golf Link.com’s viewers gave the Card Sound Golf Club a five star rating. This par 71 course located moments from the flats of the Keys, features 6,553 yards of golf and the course has an overall rating of 71.3 and has a slope rating of 127 on Bermuda grass. This magnificent oasis opened in 1976 and was designed by Bruce Devlin/Robert von Hagge.

No matter what your prescription may be, a luxury vacation with Open Ocean waters and emerald green fairways will remedy any soul.
