This year the family and I are going to visit my parents down in Florida. I was planning on playing a par 3 course in Daytona called the Oceans Golf club so I only had to bring a couple clubs. Is there any other par 3/executive courses in the area that would be worth it? We plan on playing next Tuesday. I'd also be inclined to meet up with a fellow THPer that day if you don't mind my father tagging along. He'd just be in for the ride on a cart as he doesn't play. Thanks!
 
I am not sure if any short courses in the area. @McLovin do you know of any?

I am familiar with this course. For something fun to walk and work on your short, it AWESOME! My son‘s school has been there 3x in the past 2 months as its great for practice. He and I went and I loved it. Only need a GW,LW and putter. Greens were not super fast but really we were there for my son to practice. He loves it. Also is cheap, like $10 or something.

is there a par 3 at lpga? i don’t think so, but can’t recall.
 
The only one I can think of would be at OCN, but that is nowhere near to Daytona.
 
@McLovin I'd be game to meet up for a round down by you also if possible. I'd find a way to sneak a bag in the car.

Just looked and they show a $9 hot deal. That's incentive enough to check it out. Thanks!

I heard it’s a nice course. Haven’t had the opportunity to check it out though.
 
There’s winter park 9, but that’s really about even with downtown orlando. Great little track, cheap to walk, but a touch further south than you may want to be?

i’ll be at ocn on thursday taking a lesson. i can try to check out the 9 hole if you need a little reconnaissance. the last time i was there, it was decent. worth $9? absolutely. worth a long drive? absolutely not.

LPGA has a practice course. Consists of a Par 5,4,3. 3 holes total.

I’ve played it once, I really enjoyed it. Beat the hell out of me around the greens, but I would do that again without question.
 
I was able to book the hills course at LPGA for less than $30 on Tuesday so I took that. Might as well play a full size course for that price.
