Florida
The Sunshine State is one of the most popular
tourist destinations in the world. And if you want some bang for
your buck-this place will guarantee a good time. Walt Disney World,
Universal Studios, Cape Canaveral are just some of the man-made
attractions. Stunning natural beauty, and a climate to match (well,
most of the time), which golf course designers have used to create
some of the most challenging and picturesque courses in the world.
From the Panhandle to the Florida Keys-it is also the launching pad
for Outer Space or a Caribbean Cruise.
