Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Hotels and Golf Courses

Alice Moon
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, offers far more than beaches for sporting enthusiasts, with dozens of golf courses suitable for players of every ability. Bonaventure Country Club, located to the west of the city, is semi-private but open to all players, with both West (18 holes, par 70) and East (18 holes, par 72) courses. Inverrary Golf Club also has two courses and for years was a popular stop in the PGA Tour. Coral Ridge Country Club is highly exclusive. Aimed toward the future, they are working to combine tradition, a personal touch and modern technology at their 18-hole classical course.
