Florida's third largestcity is the state's best destination for affordable, quality golf. This is best you can get in town for a handful of bills.
We've all emptied our wallets to tee it up at a trophy course only to spend the day hacking up the place like an Irish turf cutter. And there's nothing like a daylong pass on the bogey train to focus your mind on the expensive greens fee.
