Where to Stay for a Golf Trip in Florida

Where a buddies group should stay for a Florida golf trip — Streamsong, Orlando, or Naples — and how to choose the right hub for your group.

Updated June 2026·5 min read

  1. 1

    Streamsong Resort

    Best for pure golf

    A self-contained, stay-and-play links resort between Tampa and Orlando, with a modern lodge and a clubhouse by the Red and Blue courses. Remote and golf-focused by design — base here when the trip is about the golf and nothing else.

  2. 2

    Orlando resort (Reunion, Grande Lakes & more)

    Best for variety & groups

    Orlando’s golf resorts pair multiple courses with big group lodging, dining, and nightlife — and the parks for any non-golfers. Reunion’s villas are a buddies-trip favorite. The flexible base for a mixed group.

  3. 3

    Orlando vacation home

    Best value for big groups

    The Orlando area is full of large vacation homes with pools, often near ChampionsGate and Reunion. For ten-plus guys, a house can be the best value and the best hang, with courses a short drive away.

  4. 4

    Naples / Gulf coast resort

    Best for upscale & beach

    The southwest coast pairs upscale golf (Tiburón and others) with Gulf beaches and a refined, snowbird-season feel. Base here for a more relaxed, higher-end trip with sand between rounds.

Florida’s lodging question is really a hub question: the trip you want determines where you stay. Streamsong, Orlando, and Naples each deliver a completely different kind of golf trip — pick the hub first, and the lodging follows.

The quick decision

  • All about the golf? Base at Streamsong.
  • Mixed group, want variety and nightlife? Base in Orlando (resort or vacation home).
  • Big group optimizing value? Get an Orlando-area vacation home.
  • Upscale, beach-and-golf, low-key? Base in Naples.

The part that trips groups up

Florida is huge, and the hubs are far apart — Streamsong, Orlando, and Naples are not a single drive-around trip. Picking the wrong hub for your group (a pure-golf resort for a crowd that wanted nightlife, or vice versa) is the classic misstep. We match the hub, the lodging, and the courses to what your group actually wants out of the trip.

Frequently asked

Where should a golf group stay in Florida?
Base at Streamsong for a pure golf trip, in Orlando (a resort or a vacation home) for variety and a mixed group, or in Naples for an upscale beach-and-golf escape. The right hub depends on whether the trip is about the golf, the group, or the relaxation.
Is Streamsong worth staying on-site?
Yes — Streamsong is remote and self-contained, so staying on-resort is really the only practical option and part of the appeal. The lodge, dining, and courses are all on-site, making it a clean stay-and-play.
Should a big group rent a house in Orlando?
For ten or more, an Orlando-area vacation home with a pool is often the best value and the best group experience, with courses like Reunion and ChampionsGate close by. Smaller or higher-end groups may prefer a golf resort.
