2 Tampa Florida Women Stay Cool By Golfing In Bikinis

Author Joe Winner

It is hot in Florida. It even rained this morning in Fort Myers and it’s still 94 degrees. So how do you stay cool without sacrificing the Florida lifestyle? Well, these two in Tampa seemed to have found a solution. Golfing in bikinis.

Golf influencer Karin Hart met up with her friend and fellow influencer Caitlin Rice and took to the links. The course they hit up was the Saddlebrook Golf Club in Wesley Chapel, Florida. Just outside of Tampa. Nice place. Saddlebrook has two courses designed by Arnold Palmer. A par 71 and a par 70 with some challenging water holes. But have you tried south Florida golfing in late July after 11am? It’s absolutely brutal. I did 18 at Stoneybrook in Estero a couple of weeks back and by hole 13 I was just done. But I was also wearing a collared shirt and shorts. I think these two have figured it out.

A little less than perfect form, but they’re also not wearing golf shoes and by Caitlin’s admission they’d been hitting the seltzers. I’m with you. Golfing sober is boring.

Golfing in bikinis. “Fore-get the clothes”. Let’s make this a thing. It’s just been so hot here this summer it just makes sense.

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.
