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. These five courses are just a short list of what’s in store:
Historic vibes: Links golf is the oldest form of golf in the world, originated hundreds of years ago in Scotland. The Royal St. Cloud Golf Links honors this type of golf, with three 9-hole courses inspired by legendary clubs like St. Andrews and Carnoustie in Scotland.
Pro approval: Featuring 36 holes, Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate is the ideal destination for a golf vacation, ChampionsGate features two courses designed by the legendary Greg Norman, one of the sport’s greatest players and one of the premier resorts in Central Florida.
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. The courses helped it nab Golf Digest’s “2018 Best Golf Resorts in Florida” accolade and ranked as one of Florida’s best courses in 2022 on Golfweek. 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.
