We recently found ourselves heading west along hwy 10 in the Florida panhandle, looking for an overnight stop. We had looked at Madison RV and Golf Resort<\/a> several times going back and forth to Tampa over the last few years, but never seemed to have enough time to stop – this time was different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when we have the time, Marc says: “Book ’em Danno!” <\/em><\/strong>

Living this “full-time” RV life<\/em><\/strong> has me looking for RV parks with golf courses<\/em><\/strong> more often than the location having a pool! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not that I don’t like floating in a pool, it’s just that I enjoy golfing more! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Our RV Set-up!<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Madison RV and Golf Resort is located in North Florida, and is the ideal layover along I-10 for RV travelers (a.k.a. – us)<\/em><\/strong> As with many other RV parks, they are pet friendly, they have a pool and laundry facilities. They have a clubhouse with large clean bathhouse amenities. They offer concrete slab RV sites with pull-through or back-in options. Some sites have a waterfront view to the small pond on the property. And…at 80′ long and 37′ wide, the sites are large and long enough for Big Dee, Dee-Luxe and Mini Dee. <\/mark><\/em><\/strong> They even have a 2 acre off-leash dog park. That is a very rare find. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the biggest bonus for us? You guessed it – they have a golf course! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you can reserve a site that has a fairway view. Whenever we find an RV park that offers golf, we feel like we hit the jack-pot!  <\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

18 tee box options<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Madison RV and Golf Resort’s course is a PGA regulation 9 hole track with 18 tee boxes. The distance from the longest tees is 3,074 yards, which does provide a challenging par of 36. With a slope rating of 106, and a 67.4 rating on Bermuda grass, I found the course well designed to offer golfers of all skill levels an enjoyable experience. <\/p>\n\n\n

It’s January, which means it is cold.<\/em><\/strong> But even though it is winter and the grass is dormant, this course was in pretty darn good shape. <\/em><\/strong>The greens were fast and smooth. The bunkers were soft and pretty consistent and playable. Yes, I did loose a couple of balls in the rough, but as Jimmy Buffet says – “It was my own damn fault” for hitting them there.<\/p>\n\n\n

Since the golf course is attached to the RV Resort, they do not take tee times, it is walk-on only. <\/em><\/strong> This can be a good thing or a bad thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
