SW Florida is one of the golfing centres of the USA, with the temperate climate ideal for this gentlemanly pursuit.

| University Park layout: 27 holes in 3 nines |
University Park, where the competitive golf will take place is a typical Florida course: 27 holes arranged with homes on many fairways and plenty of water for the unwary. Not long by Burhill standards, it will nevertheless present a good test of golf, with some tricky greens and numerous hazards (
animal, mineral and vegetable).
There are many other great courses in the area, available at all prices. In addition to the many golf resorts near Sarasota, for those keen to test themselves (and their wallets),
Bay Hill and
Copperhead are under 2 hrs drive away with
TPC Sawgrass at 4hrs drive: all host PGA tour events every year. Alternatively the two new courses at
Streamsong, although relatively new, are in the top 100 courses in the US and will surely entertain (ask Duncan Hodgson...).
