Whether it’s a chance to de-stress from work or take a break from school a Florida spring break Includes great golf, rest, recreation and dining.

Florida Spring Break Tradition

Did you know Spring Break first began in the state of Florida?

In 1936 a swim team from Colgate University travelled to Casino Pool in Fort Lauderdale to train. By 1938 the city hosted the first College Coaches Swim Forum which proved very successful. Over the years Fort Lauderdale became the mecca for college students to travel at spring break.

And why not? Boasting an average temperature of 73.4°F (23°C) and annual high of 82.4°F (28°C), central Florida is a great spring break destination choice.

And at Mission Inn Resort & Club situated in Howey-in-the-Hills your Florida spring break includes great golf!

Here – a picture perfect place on Lake Harris with lush rolling hills, old orange groves and cypress and oak trees – guests can truly retreat from busy schedules, take a break from routine, and find a variety of ways to relax and refresh.

Florida Spring Break Includes Great Golf

What is the record for most holes in one in a single golf round?

(a) 1 (b) 4 (c) 2 or (d) 3?

(d) 3 is the answer!

Amazingly, on June 22, 2015 at the Summer Solstice Tournament at Laurel Hill Golf Club, Lorton, Virginia, American golfer Patrick Wills achieved three holes in one in a single round.

This spring break, guests can try their hand at a hole in one on two award winning golf courses at Mission Inn Resort & Club.

Iconic 100 year old El Campeón, named #1 Top Florida Golf Course in 2015 by Golf Advisor, annually draws golf enthusiasts from all over, not just for Florida spring break, but all year round.

A Healthy Start this Florida Spring Break

What bird eats mostly fish? Is it (a) eagle (b) osprey (c) heron or (d) gull?

It’s (b) osprey – This unique bird, the only one in its family, eats 99% fish. From as high as 100 feet in the air they can dive to the water’s surface and pluck fish out with their curved claws and carry them for miles.
