If golf is your pleasure then there are enough golf courses around the Orlando area, and many close to Florida Palms Villa to keep even the keenest golfer happy. 3 miles down the road is the award winning Falcons Fire golf course designed by Rees Jones, certainly one of the best courses in central Florida. Another course about 5 miles away is the much praised Mystic Dunes golf course. Many other courses are within a short distance. For the less serious golfer and entertainment, for all the family try one of the many crazy golf courses that can be found in the surrounding area.
