Calusa Pines Golf Club

Calusa Pines did not disappoint.

Calusa is an aesthetically pleasing (falling just short of truly beautiful) walk through pine straw and waste areas.

Everyone has a strong opinion about Calusa Pines, as do I.

Great vibe from the minute you pull in.

Calusa Pines is one of the very best courses in Florida, I've played most of the Top 20 and in that 20 it starts to drop - odd for a state with over 1k courses.

Driving up to the Clubhouse of Calusa Pines, you have a feeling it is going to be a special day.

Have played sawgrass, all streamsongs, bears, etc, and calusa is the winner by a decent spread.

This might just be the best golf course in Florida.

Disclaimer: the day we played Calusa there was a gale warning with 40-50 mph gusts of wind.

Calusa Pines is often listed behind TPC Sawgrass Stadium as the number three golf course in Florida, the state that has the most golf courses in the USA.
