There's no doubt that Florida residents are passionate about where they live and golf, specifically their golf communities. We understand why. In terms of pure dollars, choosing the "right" neighborhood can mean the difference of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars over time. There are hundreds of golf communities across Florida, but not all are created equal. If your dream is to enjoy world-class golf courses with a slew of other amenities in a wonderful setting, the field gets narrowed substantially, but there are still plenty of choices here in the Sunshine State.

While "best" is a measurement that's a little tricky to define, showcased within this issue are three of Florida’s finest affordable golf course communities.
