It’s Tee Time somewhere.
Unlike most ball games, Golf, doesn’t actually require a standardized playing area. The game is played on a course with an arranged progression of either nine or 18 holes. This is exactly why golfing is so attractive to many athletes.
Not all golf courses are created equally.
The folks over at Prescott Lakes says “most avid golf enthusiasts understand that generally no two courses are the same.” Each game can be entirely different by simply choosing a different golf course to play in – completely changing the scenery and even the difficulty of the game.
Let’s take a closer look at some of these local Golf Courses here in Clermont, FL.
