Walkabout Golf & Country Club

Est. 2003

Walkabout Golf & Country Club: You won't find Ayers Rock or any kangaroos during this particular Florida walkabout, but an exciting and challenging golf course does lie in wait - originally designed by Perry Dye and completed by Australian golfer, Jan Stephenson, there is a thoroughly natural feel to this layout - planned housing has yet to be established - your progress here should be easier than a true Aussie-desert walkabout (see Did You Know section below), but with many carries to make over small lakes and wetland, and water and swamp tightly lining several fairways, there is challenge enough for most golfers - several hazards are highlighted but also obscured by tufts of pampas grass, so consulting your course guide could pay useful dividends - although sections of the front-nine are played in relative proximity to nearby I-4, the back-nine is played away from this busy highway and provides a quieter journey into the Florida outback - flanking the good-width, gently rippling fairways and defending the subtly sloping putting surfaces you'll need to avoid plenty of good-quality bunkering, which get deeper the closer you are to the greens - the beauty of Walkabout's unspoilt lakeland, woodland and wetland environment continually enhances the attractiveness of this excellent golf course, whilst also contributing to its undoubted challenges.

Did you know?

Who's Who

Céline Boutier: with many successes as both an amateur and professional golfer, Boutier added a major championship title to her impressive résumé at this year’s Evian Championship.

Alex Cejka: buffeted by rain and high winds, especially on the high-scoring final day, Čejka prevailed over Pádraig Harrington in a playoff at Royal Porthcawl, to scoop the Senior Open Championship title.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
