A STELLAR GOLF EXPERIENCE ON FLORIDA’S SPACE COAST
More than 50 years ago, and nearly 240,000 miles from Earth, Alan Shepard was the first to swing a club on the moon. Without traveling to the moon, you too can experience out-of-this-world golf on Florida’s Space Coast.
Florida’s Space Coast is a dream destination for golfers, offering lush fairways, stunning landscapes, and a touch of celestial inspiration. Nestled along the Atlantic coast, this vibrant region boasts an impressive lineup of golf courses that challenge and delight players of all levels. But what makes golfing here truly special? It’s not just the scenery—it’s the cosmic connection.
A Swing for the Stars
The Space Coast is synonymous with space exploration. This legacy is celebrated in many ways, and golf is no exception. Did you know that astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American in space, famously hit a golf ball on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971? That iconic moment was a blend of skill, ingenuity, and a little fun—values shared by golfers across the Space Coast.
More Than Just Golf
The Space Coast isn’t just about the game—it’s about the experience. After a day on the links, explore the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, where you can marvel at the very rockets that launched Alan Shepard into history. And with rockets launching weekly from Cape Canaveral, you just might catch a rocket launch from our beaches, your hotel balcony, or a rooftop bar!
Immerse yourself in nature and take in the area’s natural beauty with a stroll along the beach or a paddle through the Indian River Lagoon. Be on the lookout for dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles. In the summertime, local waterways glow with bioluminescence, so don’t miss the chance for a nighttime kayak tour through mesmerizing waters.
Swing into the Cosmos
Playing golf on Florida’s Space Coast connects you to a storied legacy of exploration and adventure. Whether you’re perfecting your drive or marveling at Shepard’s audacious lunar swing, every round here is a reminder that golf—like space travel—has no limits.
