As golfers in the northern portion of the country dread the onset of cold, dreary winter weather, one of Daytona Beach’s most popular stay-and-play packages is enticing players to visit the “World’s Most Famous Beach,” a Central Florida 365-day hotspot. The “Tee it High and Let it Fly” golf package offers players a three-night, three-round deal featuring oceanfront accommodations, memorable golf and a respite from the cold.
The deal is highlighted by three exceptional rounds of golf at Cypress Head, Plantation Bay and Palm Harbor Golf Clubs, starting at just $397 per person. 
Cypress Head, an Arthur Hills design, is one of the area’s best and is located in Port Orange. The course has been thriving since a 2015 renovation project that featured new greens. The Kemper Sports managed property is renowned for the quality conditions throughout the year. The par 72 layout is highlighted by the 14th hole, a stunning dogleg left that presents golfers a risk-reward decision as they decide how much of the dogleg they want to challenge.
The “Tee it High and Let it Fly” offer also provides golfers the rare opportunity to play Plantation Bay, a private 45-hole facility in Ormond Beach. The package includes a round at Plantation Bay’s Prestwick Course, a Lloyd Clifton designed layout, will deliver a “member for a day” experience at the exclusive residential community, just off I-95.
In Palm Coast, golfers will take the challenge to new heights. Palm Harbor was renovated in 2009 and is one of the most popular places to play in Flagler Country. The club is easy to find, located 15 minutes off of I-95. Tight fairways bordered by Florida pines and quick smallish greens will present a great golf day.
After the final putt drops, golfers will be delighted to stay at the Hyatt Place Oceanfront, a 4.5-star property that offers guests a beautiful view of the “World’s Most Famous Beach” and a host of amenities.
