Climate Protestors Storm The Ultra Exclusive Sebonack Golf Club in New York

Author Joe Winner

Earlier this week, climate protestors led by the group Planet Over Profit made their way to the Sebonack Golf Club in New York. It’s an ultra exclusive course in Southampton rumored to have membership fees of around a million dollars. And membership is by invite-only. Not sure who invited this group.

Let me start off by saying that the pitchfork was a nice touch. And heckling the golfer with the comment of “the worst swing I’ve ever seen” was pretty funny. I’m not going to get into the politics of all this, but I see by the video that a lot of people not at work on Monday afternoon. Climate protestors and golfers alike.

This kind of protest is unlikely to happen in Southwest Florida. It’s way too hot to wear a whale costume out on a golf course.

The 9 Best Public Golf Courses in Southwest Florida: Ranked

The 9 Best Public Golf Courses in Southwest Florida. Fort Myers and Naples have some of the nicest golf courses in the country – the only problem is, to play these, you either need a rich friend who belongs at one of the courses, or you need to part ways with a couple hundred thousand to become a member yourself.

Don’t have either? You’re still in luck!   Southwest Florida has a litany of fun and challenging public courses open year-round to the average bloke. They may not offer the luxury amenities such as iced towels, golf carts outfitted with GPS and speakers, and Pro-V1 range balls, but the beers are just as cold and often times the cart girls are better looking!

I put these courses through a screening process and am basing this on certain criteria – first and foremost, they need to be open year-round for public play. After that, I judged them on: Layout (fun vs challenging), Condition and Amenities, Rates, Cart Girls (when applicable), and of course, the 19th hole. So, text your buddies, wash your balls, and tee up at these local favorites year round.
