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.
Weather
It should probably go without saying that Orlando offers some of the most
comfortable year round golf in the country. But just in case you needed a
reminder of just how great the weather is down here, the chart below should
