Orlando Golf - Cultural Pursuits

Unless you travel to Florida with a group of friends solely interested in making the most of the fantastic variety of golf on offer, you are likely to have members of your party who either don’t like golf at all or would like to combine a round or two with some alternative activities, possibly cultural in nature. In these circumstances, the ideal location to set up base is the Sarasota area, where you can find excellent golf alongside some of the best cultural highlights that Florida has to offer.

Culture in Sarasota

Sarasota offers a full range of cultural delights, including a symphony, opera, ballet, a number of museums and in excess of thirty art galleries. The starting point for all this culture must surely be The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, beautifully situated overlooking Sarasota Bay, which houses a world class collection of Rubens as well as many other significant works of art. Another must is the astonishing Asolo Theater, originally built in Italy during the nineteenth century before being dismantled and rebuilt on the Ringling estate just before the second world war.

Sarasota also plays host to a number festivals and tying in your trip to take in one or more of these is a good way of enhancing your stay. The Sarasota Film Festival in early spring and the Sarasota Film festival in early winter provide all that a film buff could desire. The Sarasota Music Festival takes place in early summer and aims to showcase young musical talent, while the Ringling International Arts Festival, usually taking place in October covers a wide variety of music, dance, film and theater.

Well that’s the culture taken care of, what about the golf? Don’t worry there is no shortage of golf courses in the area and the following are just a few;

Tatum Ridge Golf links is a fantastic links style course, supporting abundant wildlife, as does the University Park Country Club. For a more challenging experience try the Bobcat Trail Golf Club, particularly the par-4 ninth hole with its difficult approach and unforgiving green. If you are an Arnold Palmer fan don’t miss the legacy golf club, with every hole appearing to be protected by water.

Florida Villas – Water Parks

The fifth of a series of features looking at some of the alternatives to Disney in Central Florida, easily accessible from Kissimmee.

While most visitors to Central Florida have come to enjoy the wonders of Disney and the other major theme parks, you need an alternative to these if you are to entertain the family for two weeks. One possible alternative is to visit a water park and there are several in the Kissimmee region. Water parks can be a great day out for the family and usually feature a full range of rides and attractions suitable for all members of a family group, from some very scary rides for the thrill seeker to the more gentle for small children. The other advantage of going to a water park, particular during the hotter summer months, is the opportunity to cool down a little. The following are just a few of the major water parks, but there are several more.

Aquatica is the water park operated by Sea World. As well as a large number of rides there is the opportunity to interact with wildlife, with Commerson’s Dolphins making up part of the fun on the Dolphin Plunge. Other rides you might like to try are Omaka Rocka, Tassie’s Twisters and the Taumata Racer.

Although I started this article by suggesting that a water park was an alternative option to an unrestricted diet of Disney, in fact Walt Disney World themselves offer a couple of Water based theme parks. The focal point for Blizzard Beach is a 100 foot peak called Mount Gushmore. Typhoon Lagoon is very much a family centric attraction with six foot waves in the Surf Pool bringing the coast to Central Florida.

Wet ‘n Wild Orlando is probably the largest of the water Parks in the area and features a full range of rides from the thrilling such as Disco H2O, The Surge and Black Hole: Next Generation, to the more sedate such as Surf Lagoon or the Kiddies play area. If you want to enjoy a relaxing 10 minutes or so why not try the Lazy River, a slow moving stream that circumnavigates the park moving at a gentle pace. For a piece of luxury living you could hire a personal Cabana which offers personal waitress service and somewhere to retreat to away from the buzz of the rest of the park. A point to note about Wet ‘n Wild is that once you have paid to get in you can enter the park again at no extra cost as many times as you like during the next 14 days, a great way to cut the cost of a day out.

Florida Villas - Beaches – The East Coast

This is the first in a series of articles looking at the Floridian beaches. This article will focus on the beaches on the East Coast.

Starting on the Northeast coast is the attractive island of Amelia. Amelia has nearly 15 miles of beautiful beaches, with Victorian Fernandina Beach and Fort Clinch State Park , being the most prominent. Further down the coast we encounter Jacksonville, which has a number of family friendly areas, and further on St Augustine, an historic town in its own right but which also hosts a number of beaches, perhaps the standout being Anastasia State Park. Anastasia State Park is an outstandingly beautiful area, and visitors can enjoy the many nature trails, sand dunes and partake in the fishing from a base at one of the numerous campsites. Further on down the coast we come to the world famous Daytona Beach, a magnet for motor-racing enthusiasts, which sports over 20 miles of sand, some portions of which visitors are allowed to drive on. If you feel the need to get away from the undoubtedly crowded boardwalk you could do worse than head for the more sedate option of Ponce Inlet, located towards the south of Daytona. The water on the East Coast is very pleasant for swimming during the summer months, but taking a dip during the autumn and winter months is for the hardier swimmer.

Working our way towards the southern section of the East Coast we encounter a number of the most popular beaches in Florida. The rich enclave of Vero Beach has excellent surfing, and Fort Pierce provides a lovely beach area. Moving down, we then reach Florida’s Gold Coast, which comprises Palm beach, Fort Lauderdale, Jupiter and Boca Raton, in total over 60 miles of mostly great shoreline. The Gold Coast is beautiful and clean, which unfortunately leads to overcrowding at certain times of the year. Carrying on we reach the Miami area, boasting a large number of beaches including the ever popular South Beach, catering for the trendy end of the market.
