When the possibility for sun-soaked golfing is a year-round thing, it’s hard to consider teeing up anywhere else. Kissimmee, Florida, has excellent courses and ranges in warm and sunny Central Florida. Major golfing events already look to Kissimmee for its fairways, like The Big Raise, which raises funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, taking place in February 2023.
Golf vacationers of all levels will find the perfect balance in Kissimmee. Between attractions in nearby Orlando and the dining options in Kissimmee, golf pros and amateurs alike will find a suitable course to play a few rounds in between the rest of the excitement Kissimmee offers.

Local fave: For more than 20 years, Celebration Golf Club has been a favorite with locals and golf vacationers alike. Designed by the legendary father/son duo of Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr., Celebration Golf Club is equal parts challenging and stunning.
Classic flare: Reunion Resort and Golf Club features the world’s only Signature Design courses by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Tom Watson.

Recently the David Leadbetter Golf School opened here.
All-around quality: Falcon’s Fire Golf Club was designed by course architect Rees Jones and is recognized both regionally and nationally as one of the area’s finest golf courses. Its amenities and event planning services make it a top choice for visitors looking to do more than just hit the green.
