Why Orlando? That's a great question. But it is also an easy question to answer.

Orlando offers visitors one of the most comprehensive settings to do just about anything. From the golf and leisure activities to the dining, night life and entertainment, Orlando is not only the center of the state geographically, it is also the center of life. Oh, yeah, we also have that place called Disneyworld!

However, Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida area offer much more than theme parks. In downtown Orlando you'll find a combination of skyscrapers, quiet parks and gardens, excellent museums, and the bustling shops and restaurants of Church Street Station. Nature buffs like to escape to the Ocala National Forest or the Florida Audubon Society's Center for Birds of Prey, just north of Orlando in Maitland. Art devotees head for Rollins College's Cornell Fine Arts Museum or the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. Attraction lovers seek out the additional rides and shows that are located along International Drive. Indeed, in the greater Orlando area, you'll discover an abundance of sights that are equally enjoyable and often less crowded and less expensive than those at the theme parks.

Not enough? Well here are some other things to consider when planning your next golf vacation.
