Are you headed to Fort Myers beach for Spring Break, to snow bird or in need of a beach vacation? Well here is a little factoid you might want to know if you plan on taking in a round while in the area, Fort Myers Beach Golf Club is the only golf course on island. My advice for the par 60 executive course is to bring your short game and an extra sleeve of balls.

At 3091 yards from the tips, the length will not intimated most players but the tight fairways and small greens will challenge the most serious of golfers. Water comes into play on 17 of the 18 holes. So if your ball is a magnet for water, like I said bring an extra sleeve or two. Speaking of what to bring, pack your camera. The many ponds provide a nature preserve for almost every bird imaginable. If you are lucky, you might also catch a glimpse of a Florida gator.

All in all, the short course is a fun track designed for all players and skill levels. For those vacationing on the island, Fort Myers Beach Golf Club is a great oasis from the beach. Rental clubs are available.

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf. Brian had a zero chance for a college golf scholarship, so he worked on the grounds crew at West Bend Country Club to pay for his University of Wisconsin education. In his adult years, his passion for the game collided with his entrepreneurial spirit and in 2004 launched GolfWisconsin.com. In 2007, the idea for a network of local golf directory sites formed and GolfTrips.com was born. Today, the network consists of a site in all 50 states supported by national sites like GolfTrips.com, GolfGuide.com and GolfPackages.com. It is an understatement to say, Brian is passionate about promoting golf and golf travel on a local, regional, national and international level.

On the golf course, Brian is known as a fierce weekend warrior that fluctuates between a 5-9 handicap. With a soft fade, known as "The Weis Slice", and booming 300+ drives, he can blast it out of bounds with the best of them.
