Golf

With 22 Golf Courses within 15 miles of our Villa in Florida, it's easy to see why so many keen golfers love this unspoiled corner of the Sunshine State.

Long Marsh Golf Club is situated within the community of Rotonda with many homes backing onto the course. It is a challenging, beautiful course with lots of water hazards, sweeping bunkers, open fairways and beautiful greens like snooker tables. You have a choice of four tees ranging between 5,257 yards and 7,120 yards. Depending on the time of year, a round at Long Marsh including a motorized Golf Cart starts from $25.00.

This is just one of many local courses for you to play.

Fishing is also a very popular pastime for many Florida visitors. The Gulf Coast attracts many thousands of Sports Fishermen from around the world to pit their wits against mighty game fish such as Tarpon, Marlin and Shark.

The water around Port Charlotte and Englewood has some amazing fishing opportunities. You can book fishing trips with experienced local charter boat captains with all the equipment provided, or fish of the beach.

Local fish include Snook, Sheephead, Grove Snappers, Shark, Podfish and Tarpon.
The Tarpon season between May and October is a major economy boost for many of the barrier islands. Boca Grande, just a 10 minute drive from Rotonda, plays host to "The Worlds Richest Tarpon Tournament" where thousands flock into Boca Grande Pass in their boats to try and claim the prize money of $250,000!

Fishing piers are dotted along the Intracoastal Waterway with hundreds of tackle and bait stores in the local vicinity.
