Located in Jacksonville, Florida, the East Landing is now transformed into a new  family-oriented golf vacation destination. After being redesigned, this course is now made more appealing both to its neighboring community as well as to professional golfers around the world. The 18-hole championship layout rolls on a Village green in a way that is unique for North Florida. The course is a community green with a float of a lake where canoes dock eager for an enthusiasts to rent. Kayaks are also around with a hired experts who can assist any adventurous hungry adult. At the gymnasium are an aquatic center and a tennis complex to provide an option for those who want to lay low after golfing all day.

East Landing is a community ideally stationed in Clay County making it ready for East West Communities’ development. They are handled by the same team who created the Eagle Harbor that is known to be one of the most successful communities in the country. The 7,037 yards golf vacation place was weaved by Clyde Johnston. The renowned golf architect incorporated a classic design into the holes of the par 72 plan setting up holes like Redan Hole, the Eden, and the Cardinal into the routing in a systematic way.

Lending a sense of purity into the golf course was the main plan for the East Landing golf trip destination. The course puts a golf experiences into an elevated standard as it carries a distinct philosophy. Starting with fairly easy nines and ending with something complex with each six tees progressing skillfully provide a kind of momentum that not all golf courses can offer.

Located in Deerfield Beach, north of Fort Lauderdale, Deer Creek Golf Club is a prodigiously designed golf vacation destination with an expansion that offers a total of four-hours round of golf. Known as the “Best Course in Broward County” by the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel’s City Link Magazine, this golf location is also rated with 4-Stars by Golf Magazine and labeled as the “Best Places to Play” in South Florida.

Golf architect Arthur Hills painted Deer Creek Golf Club with a carpet of TifEagle bermuda greens on the sizeable rippling greens. The variations of elevated tees on the 7,050 yards from the back tees provide eye catching and heart jumping drama to anyone’s golf vacation. Low handicapper and players with a range of skills will definitely find the challenge in Deer Creek memorable. The club also showcases other amenities like practice areas, golf shop, grille area and the highly reputed Key West-style clubhouse.

The clubhouse at Deer Creek Golf Club is a 30,000 square foot centerpiece catching golfers’ attention since February 1991. At the entrance, golfers can visit the 2,500 square feet golf pro shop that exhibits a complete line of golf equipment. Maintaining its honor as the “Merchandiser of the Year” by the PGA of America, the Deer Creek golf shop is staffed with PGA Professionals to insure quality of golf trip service. Also inside the clubhouse are dining, banquet, retail and locker room facilities along with “Old Florida” photographs and collectables as adornment to add intricacy and style to the place. A patio at the clubhouse’ Grille also give golfers a chance to take a glimpse of the vast golf course scenery.

A great artist is never happier than having the finest materials to give birth to the works of his creation. This must have been how Arthur Hills exactly felt when he was given a magnificent piece of land in Port Orange, Florida, just a little outside Daytona. The ‘piece of land’ was transformed into one of today’s most celebrated Floridan golf vacation destination, and is in fact considered the best in its locality: the Cypress Head Golf Club.

The twist in the story comes when Hills was asked to work with another architect, Mike Dasher, to complete the Cypress Head Golf Club. Now, in situations such as this, more often than not, the differences of the two course designers are the most prevalent picture. But not on this one. The collaboration proved to be anything but divided. Their collaboration worked well enough to create a most fascinating golf course that makes use of whatever nature has given Florida best. The golf vacation favorite stuns with natural wetlands, thick forests and exciting topography. It is further enhanced by its impeccably manicured, medium sized greens and rather generous fairways that keep the challenge fair but firm.

But what brings the best challenges in the Cypress Head Golf Club are the water features. Since this course is a natural wetland, water is pretty much a staple. And by staple, it means water plays on all of its holes save four. All these attributes contributed to the success of this course’s being named as among Golf Digest’s Places to Play and a favorite for locals and guests alike. Now, with a course like this, no one could be any happier on a golf trip here than an enthused golfer.

Sometimes, things just are too good to be true. One cannot simply imagine the possibility and reality of something good, nice, and excellent. It’s as if the really, really good and perfect things can only exist in books and in some other people’s really wild imaginations. When magazines and brochures talk about the Rancho Las Palmas Golf and Country Club, one would easily assume that this is all the result of hyped up advertising. For those who took the risk and went on a golf trip hereabouts, enlightenment was granted in full.

The Rancho Las Palmas Golf and Country Club is beautiful and excellent beyond words. Though three are many others topping it, when this golf vacation destination says it is good and fun and memorable, it sure was not lying. The Ted Robinson design has been wowing golfers left and right with its honest to goodness Palm Springs golf experience. Its three nines, North, South and West courses all share the same features of gently rolling terrain, abundant palm trees in many varieties lining the fairways, and the sweeping and unmatched views of the snowcapped Jacinto Mountain. Surprisingly, though these short-courses have pretty much the same features, the character is totally different. There is a distinct flavor to each nine that when played with another will be a different experience altogether.

All three nines also share six lakes, and have their own helping of the notorious Ted Robinson style of bunkering. Nothing too daunting about this golf vacation favorite; just notorious, infamous. But just as everything in Palm Springs are good and wonderful, the Rancho Las Palmas Golf and Country Club is good and very wonderful. This is the best proof that something real can be something beautiful as well.
