A Day at a Tampa Golf Course

Spell spectacular fairways and Tampa, Florida golf courses immediately come to your mind. No wonder, when it comes to planning golf weekends, this sun-kissed city tops the list of golf aficionados. When that much-awaited weekend-break finally arrives, buckle up, pack your bags, say good bye to all worries and head out straight to one of those idyllic spots that promise visitors the most surreal teeing experience. Wondering how to make the most of your brief stay? Well, here is how you can plan an action-packed day at a stay and play golf resort in Tampa: 

Start Early

Try to reach your destination the previous day, so that you can hit the green, the first thing in the morning, when the sun is mellow.

Breakfast at the Club Premises

If you have booked an early morning tee-time, you may not be able to enjoy the lavish breakfast platter that is included in the resort's stay-and-play package. Fret not, as you can have your fill right at the club house adjacent to the greens. Most of the golf clubs across Tampa serve different types of hearty and healthy snacks to their resort guests and the fare include  fresh fruit salads, boiled eggs, local fish delicacies and more.

Now it's Tee Time

Tampa has some of the nation's most challenging courses that have been designed to take full advantage of the region's hilly terrains. Some of them even overlook the ocean. Head out to the first hole and progress through the oak-lined fairways that Tampa is so famous for. While negotiating the meandering terrains that wind through mangrove-lined water bodies, you may be greeted by the creatures that inhabit the course – a turtle or perhaps a couple of anhingas – rounding up the most gratifying Southern golf experience.

Go Footloose

As you finish your round of golf, head again to the club house for a quick grub and then, take a breezy drive to explore the nearing locales. A region known for its theme parks, breweries and heritage sites, and gorgeous white sand beaches, you will always find something or the other to satisfy the traveler in you.

A Splash at the Pool

By the time you come back to the resort, it will be well beyond 3 in the afternoon, and with Florida's blazing sun robbing you off much of your energy. Therefore hit the pool right away, but before that ask the pool concierge to whip up a chilled, vibrant and invigorating cocktail for you.

Treat your Taste Buds

Get back to your luxurious suite, freshen up and slip into your designer resort-chic couture, and head to the restaurant for one of the finest gourmet experiences. Tampa's golf resorts are famous for their fine dining traditions. You can take your pick from a large variety of local and international delicacies, and drinks fresh from the breweries. Gorge on fresh sea foods to satiate the foodie in you.

Spending your weekend at a luxury stay and play golf resort is an excellent way to relax and unwind. The expansive fairways and velvety greens in the 18-hole Tampa, Florida golf courses will offer players of all skill levels an unforgettable day out. So, are you coming to Tampa this weekend?
