A Florida property on a golf resort proved the perfect retirement location for a couple from Cardiff, Wales, despite the fact that neither of them likes the sport.

To say Jane and Jonathan Rees are not golf mad would be something of an understatement – "I hate the game", Mrs Reese cheerfully tells the Telegraph – yet the couple found their dream Florida property right in the middle of a Saratosa golf resort.

Mrs Reese explains: "It’s green belt so we have fantastic views. There’s a lake which is tranquil and secure. I can see pelicans and eagles. It’s a sanctuary.

"We used to have a bayfront home here, but it was crowded and not very secure. A golf resort beats that, every time."

The golf resort Florida property lifestyle certainly seems to suit the pair, who also enjoy soaking up the sunshine by the private pool of their stunning four-bedroom villa, according to the newspaper.

Golf fans seeking Florida property may find themselves spoiled for choice in the Sunshine State, with over 1,000 courses spread across the region.
