| Golf |

South Florida "Fore" Great Golf Water, water everywhere! It’s both the delight -- and often the downfall -- of golfing in South Florida. Whether you play an island course where clear bay waters lap against the shore or an inland course dotted with man-made lakes, you’ll find that water plays a role in your game.
But then, so do blue skies, sunshine, and tropical breezes! Whether you’re a novice or a pro, South Florida truly is a golfer’s paradise.

“New River, for six miles above its mouth, is the straightest, deepest, and finest river I have seen in Florida,” James A. Henshall wrote after visits to the area in 1879 and 1882.
