Southern Hills Plantation

I recently had the opportunity to play a fantastic private country club - Southern Hills Plantation in Brooksville, Florida.

Nestled within the rolling hills of Brooksville, Florida, Southern Hills Plantation provides a unique terrain.  Elevations of 60 to nearly 250 feet provide a truly unique opportunity for golfers at the Pete Dye Signature golf course.  Designed to maximize natural elevations and views, the private 18 hole course is rated by Golf Week as one of the top 100 residential courses in the United States.

The golf experience is elevated to new heights with generous course corridors, expansive landing areas and natural buffers that frame each hole.  Pete Dye designed a superb practice facility including a driving range, chipping and putting greens and a six hole par three course.

Southern Hills is available for play through Golf Zoo.  The golf course is under the Natures Coast Golf Trail and is currently included on one of our Hot Deals for that area - http://www.golfzoo.com/-screen-scnSell_Special-_ispost-1-.htm  We have a couple of hotels in the Brooksville area along with a half dozen great courses to compliment Southern Hills Plantation.  The Brooksville area can be axis-ed from either Orlando or Tampa - about an hour drive from each area.

Florida's Nature Coast Golf Trail

Florida is a prime vacation destination for golfer enthusiast all through out the year. There are multiple different golf courses throughout Florida.  However, The Nature Coast Golf Trail is by far one of the most enjoyable courses in Florida. The Nature Coast Golf Trail is made up of three courses, the World Woods Golf Club; Plantation Inn and Golf Resort; and the Hernando Oaks Golf Club.

World Woods Golf Club

The World Woods Golf Club has a pair of championship courses, the Pine Barrens and the Rolling Oaks bearing the name of Tom Fazio as its designer. The Pine Barrens Course measuring a whooping 7,250 yards from the longest tees, par-71, and is ranked among the world's Top 100 Courses. It also holds a 5-star rating from Golf Digest's Places to Play, and is often compared to New Jersey's Pine Valley – a frequent topnotcher in the US Top 100 List. Its sibling course, the Rolling Oaks, on the hand, is reminiscent of the Augusta National with its Oaks, obviously, azalea bushes and rolling greens. It measures 7,275 yards from the longest tees.

Plantation Inn and Golf Resort
This golf course has been standing for the last half a century and it becomes like fine wine – it gets better as it gets older. The Mark Mahanah design is a superb 27-hole design that bears a traditional Florida golf design – it has its own brand of challenges, risks, and rewards that make it interesting. Water is a big factor, being present on 21 holes.

Hernando Oaks Golf Club
This is a painting of Olde Florida come to life. This Scott Pate design measurs a good 6,905 yards from the longest tees, par 72. It is a spectacle of huge oaks draped in Spanish moss and tree-lined fairways, and all the best visual treats expected of Olde Florida.
