    Probably the coolest layout in Florida. Feels like you’ve teleported to Italy or somewhere like it. Also has to have the most elevation out of any Florida course.

    Mission Inn was a fun experience but this course is tight and very challenging. If you get out of position or if your ball is not in play this course will punish you. Fairways are super tight and the landing zones are very narrow.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Howey-in-the-Hills, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
