Halifax Plantation is our featured cover story in the upcoming Orlando/Daytona Beach edition of PGA TOUR Guide to Golf

Welcome to central florida, great golf and good times! Long before this kingdom truly became “magic,” Central Florida was regarded as a North American capital for citrus production. When Walt Disney World opened in 1971, the area began to blossom, and the excitement has grown ever since.

Greater Orlando has become the world’s most popular tourist destination, hosting more than 13 million visitors from around the world annually. Vacationers revel in the fantasy of The Magic Kingdom, the technological wonder of EPCOT Center, the intriguing talents of the marine life at Sea World, and the natural wonders of Cypress Gardens. There’s the big-screen magic and back-lot excitement of Universal Studios Florida and Disney-MGM, old fashioned fun at Church Street Station, and the beautifully restored downtown district with its shopping, arts and entertainment.

Yet Central Florida’s allure doesn’t come solely from man-made attractions. Nature has blessed this region with a beautiful countryside and nearly perfect weather year-round. The area’s pristine lakes, hardwood forests and miles of cool, clean rivers provide a peaceful respite from the non-stop excitement.

Central Florida is equally appealing when it comes to the outdoor sporting life, and golf is certainly one of the most popular recreational pastimes. The area features more than 100 golf courses, many of which are ranked among the best in the country. Enjoy the magic!
