Page 2 of 7 Tampa, on the other hand, may appear smaller and a bit more subdued on the exterior, but perhaps that’s the point. If you plan on playing a lot of golf and relaxing between rounds, Innisbrook has four courses, four restaurants, six pools and 600 guest suites. You can spend an entire vacation there and never leave the property. In Jacksonville, one can expect to find a more natural theme park per se, replete with walking and hiking trails along white-sand beaches, palm tree forests and sea oats. Then again, the TPC of Sawgrass is nowhere near a simple walk in the park. It’s the most challenging course in Florida and should be on your must-play list. Also, who can forget about places like Miami, home to the ever-popular Doral Resort and its 90 holes of golf? With its beaches, neon lights, Cuban food, dancing—put it this way—the party never cools down in Miami. With so many options for golf, it may seem impossible to find time between rounds to enjoy the rest of what this region has to offer, which is okay by us for now. When To Go The southern Atlantic coast doesn’t experience a true cold season, as temperatures remain comfortable all year long. The summer months are the most unpredictable, with occasional thunderstorms and high humidity. In fact, the bulk of the area’s rainfall occurs in the damp months of June, July and August. Winter temperatures average in the low to upper 60s (degrees F), with summer months nearing the mid-90s in some regions. January through April, the weather is perfect, ranging in the 60s and 70s.
