Orlando Sports Guide
Orlando has fast become
a haven for sports enthusiasts and those seeking something different,
exciting and off the beaten trail.
Clean your clubs and bring your
“A” game, as each one of the more than 150 Orlando-area golf
courses present a formidable challenge to even the most seasoned
golfer. But should you need a refresher course, world-class golf
instruction schools await you.
And if that’s not enough, take
advantage of the area’s best tennis and sports and recreation
complexes that provide training and fun. Get back to nature by
horseback-riding along scenic trails, canoeing past grazing manatees
and alligators, gliding over a slice of the Everglades on an airboat
or taking a sea excursion off one of our pristine coasts.
Or, choose the adventurous pursuits
of auto racing, hot-air ballooning, scuba diving, waterskiing,
cruising on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle or flying a glider or vintage
aircraft.
The diehard sports enthusiast in you
can cheer on the NBA’s Orlando Magic, catch a Predators arena
football game or sit behind home plate at one of the many Atlanta
Braves spring training games. Orlando is also home to several exciting
college football traditions—the Capital One Bowl, Champs Sports
Bowl, Florida Classic, Orlando Labor Day Classic and Villages Gridiron
Classic.
During the year many sporting events
capture the competitive spirit including the Festival of Speed bicycle
challenge and marathons. |
