If you want to <strong>play a few holes<\/strong> after breakfast, you are spoiled for choice in Cape Coral and Fort Myers. Numerous vacation homes and&nbsp;luxury <strong>villas already have access<\/strong> to the nearest golf course. Also for those who have&nbsp;never held a golf club in their hands, it is tempting, to step into the footsteps of a&nbsp;&nbsp;Bernhard Langer or a Justin Rose. During your stay in Florida, you have the ideal&nbsp;conditions for exactly that. Many of the <strong>more than 1,000 golf courses <\/strong>are in private&nbsp;hands, but also the public golf courses are lovingly maintained and are therefore&nbsp;mostly in excellent condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In Florida golf is the <strong>sport of the common man,<\/strong> that is why&nbsp;during high season on the golf courses of Cape Coral and Fort Myers it is as crowded&nbsp;here as in Germany on a <strong>miniature golf course<\/strong>, which by the way are also available&nbsp;in the Sunshine State. If you vacation in Florida with your family, you can get in a few&nbsp;holes on the nearest golf course in the morning or you can improve your tee-off on the&nbsp;driving range and then have a little fun with the kids by visiting a mini golf course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Which courses are there in Cape Coral and Fort Myers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-medium-font-size has-very-light-gray-background-color\">After the <strong>Royal Tee Golf<\/strong> was closed a few years ago, it has been <strong>reopened<\/strong> under new management since 2017!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cape-coral.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/tyson-dudley-122441-unsplash-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Golfb\u00e4lle aus einer Tasche rollend \n\" class=\"wp-image-5252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cape-coral.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/tyson-dudley-122441-unsplash-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cape-coral.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/tyson-dudley-122441-unsplash-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cape-coral.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/tyson-dudley-122441-unsplash-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Typical for America, the &#8220;Cape Royal Homeowners Association&#8221; bought the closed <strong>Royal Tee Golf Club in Cape Coral<\/strong> in 2017 and now owns the <strong>27-hole golf course<\/strong> outright. By doing that, the members of the Association entered completely new territory. None of the participants had experience with the management of a golf course. The chef of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cape-coral.com\/info\/en\/local\/restaurants-in-cape-coral\/\">restaurant<\/a> belonging to the golf course to the delight of the guests however brought that experience. His famous ribeye steaks have spoiled many a palate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>The Coral Oaks Golf course<\/em> in Cape Coral offers a special feature &#8211; besides a fantastic location (there are also several lakes on the golf course) you will also find a driving&nbsp;range with artificial turf as well as a rough.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the golf shop visitors can buy the latest&nbsp;golf apparel. If you want to <strong>improve your handicap<\/strong>, real <strong>PGA professionals<\/strong> can give&nbsp;you private lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Of course you can swing the golf club over the tee in Fort Myers as well, for example&nbsp;in the <em><strong>Pelican Preserve Golf Club<\/strong><\/em>. The exclusive <strong>27-hole course<\/strong> even houses its own&nbsp;in its <strong>clubhouse<\/strong> along with a fitness and wellness center. If you want to test out this&nbsp;golf course during your vacation, then you have the opportunity to do so with a&nbsp;<strong>Member-for-a-Day pass<\/strong>.
