Golf Courses

Florida: Empire of the Sun

1930

Florida golf courses are conceded to rank among the finest in the country. Many are placed in unique tropical settings and others have been laid out in the picturesque hill country sections of the state. Some of the foremost course architects in the world have employed their ingenuity in perfecting the arrangement of fairways and greens and, as a result, many national championship matches have been held in Florida during the winter season.
