The city
of Tampa and outlying areas
provide a picturesque setting for your
next golf vacation. But more than that,
although Tampa is a large metropolitan
area, you will feel like one of the family.
Go to our restaurants, visit our attractions and enjoy
our hospitality. You will find that the people of Tampa
are what makes Tampa great.
Not enough? Well here are some
other things to consider when planning your next golf
vacation. |
It should probably go without saying that Tampa
offers some of the most comfortable year round golf
in the country. But just in case you needed a reminder
of just how great the weather is down here, the
chart below should help.
So,
as you can see, even in the dead of winter when
much of the country is cold and covered in snow,
Tampa provides a much sought-after relief. |
