Everglades Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Everglades Golf Course, considering the weather and wildlife?

We always recommend visiting between late October and early May. You'll find cooler, drier weather then, making your round much more comfortable and keeping those pesky mosquitos at bay. Plus, the alligators are a bit less active, which is always a bonus.

What kind of wildlife should I expect to see at Everglades Golf Course, and are there any safety tips?

You're definitely playing in their backyard here, so expect to see plenty of wading birds, turtles, and yes, alligators. Always keep a respectful distance from any wildlife, especially gators, and never, ever try to feed them. Just enjoy the natural spectacle from afar.

What's the biggest challenge or most memorable hole at Everglades Golf Course?

For us, the par-3 14th stands out - it's a beautiful but intimidating shot entirely over water to a green guarded by cypress trees. Accuracy is key here; anything short or wide will be a donation to the resident gators. It's a true test of nerve and club selection.

Is Everglades Golf Course a good walking course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While the course is relatively flat, we strongly advise taking a cart, especially during the warmer months. The humidity can be brutal, and the distances between some holes are longer than you might expect. Save your energy for your swing, not the trek.

What's the overall value like at Everglades Golf Course, and what kind of experience should I expect?

You're getting a fantastic value for a course set in such a unique, wild environment. Green fees are reasonable, and the course offers a genuine Florida golf experience with well-maintained fairways and greens. It's a memorable round where nature is as much a part of the game as your scorecard.
