Orlando is one of the country's fastest growing golf regions, with dozens of new courses having opened in the past few years, from designers like Tom Fazio, Pete Dye, Rees Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Robert Trent Jones, Dick Wilson and Joe Lee. It is estimated that there are between 100 and 150 courses in the greater Orlando area (plenty to keep you occupied during your vacation!).

Further proof that this is truly one of America's golf capitals, Orlando plays host to two PGA Tour events and an LPGA tournament -- something few cities can claim. All three tournaments (The Bay Hill Invitational, the Walt Disney World FUNAI Classic, and the JC Penney Open) are held at courses open to the public. In fact, private courses are the exception and not the rule.

If you are looking to improve your game then head to one of the six golf instruction academies, headed by renowned teachers like David Leadbetter and Rick McCord. Through personalised teaching and the latest technological advantages, these schools may help you find the silver lining to your game.

Whether you want to play great courses, learn from top teachers, or watch the best compete, Orlando has it all.
