St. Petersburg, Florida is well-known for its beautiful sandy beaches; but happily for golfers, all the sand isn’t on the beach. With nearly 50 golf courses dotting the surrounding landscape, a fair amount of the area’s sparkling white sand is confined to sand traps! Few places in the country offer as many golf courses or as much golfing variety as the area Floridians call Tampa/St. Pete.
With a 30 to 60-minute drive of lovely St. Petersburg beach vacation rentals, avid golfers will find an amazing selection of America’s best 4- and 5-star championship golf courses.
