What do serious Florida golfers do when the sun goes down?
Many go home and call it a day, while other Florida golfers
grab some dinner and than hit one of 4 lighted golf courses
in Florida!
Currently there are 6 golf courses in Florida that have lights
on for the serious golfers who just hate to call it quits.
With Florida having more golf layouts than any other state,
why not have a few under the lights.
These lighted Florida golf courses feature the same quality
of greens as many championship courses, there are rolling
elevations, water hazards and plenty of sand to battle.
These executive golf courses won't require the more experienced
golfer to bring more than an 8 iron or maybe a 7 iron at the
most, but they will most surely test ones short game.
Night golf is perfect for the working golfer and it is always
a pleasure to play golf in the summer when the temperature
is below the usual 90's. If you are looking for a fun way
to practice your short game, play golf in Florida under the
lights.
Lighted Florida golf courses which are currently open.
Duran Golf Club - This par-3 course is across the
Stadium Parkway from Duran's 18-hole championship layout.
The 30-acre Florida golf course, has a two-way driving range
and a practice hole, which cost an estimated $1 million to
build, plus another $450,000 for 35 poles of energy-efficient
lighting.
The holes range from 57 yards to 140 yards, giving Florida
golfers a terrific opportunity to walk and exercise for a
little more than an hour for nine holes. The 9 hole lit course
is a short course, but it can be challenging to all levels
of golfers.
Terrace Hill Golf Club - This executive course offers
a lighted 9-hole golf course and practice facility. This course
fills up every night, so it is a good idea to make a tee time
in advance.
Duffy's Golf Center - This public golf facility features
a lighted 18 hole executive golf course plus also includes
a limited practice range, a golf shop, and club repair services.
This is not a challenging course, but those who come here
don't expect one. This is a good place to practice for the
person who works all week.
Island Golf Center - This absolutely wonderful little
9-hole par-3 course, has been there for 25+ years. Easy to
find -near the bridge between Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa
Island -never crowded. You can see the bay from most holes
-and even wade in the water (on #7 and #8) if you lose your
ball.
Holiday Golf Club - Nice course that is ejoyable to
play. Keep the ball in play and have a fun evening. There
is trouble; but, a managable par 3 9 hole course. Good condition.
Excellent greens.
The Golf Garden - One of the most beautiful and popular
golf courses in the Destin area, this family golf center features
a lighted nine hole, par 29 executive golf course, as well
as a ten acre practice area with ten multi-pin target greens,
a snack bar, and a pro shop.
