The NCAA National Championship in football will once again feature a team from Florida. This year's entry is the Gators from the University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville.

By now, we all know Gainesville has great football and basketball teams -- but did you know the area also has some good golf in the rolling hills at and surrounding the UF campus? Here are a few places to perfect your swing:

The Mark Bostick course at UF is the home to the Fighting Gators university teams and has recently been upgraded.
Haile Plantation Golf & Country Club is a semi-private Gary Player designed course that is a couple miles due west of the UF campus.
Gainesville Country Club is a private course with great views of adjacent wildlife sanctuary Paines Praire. It is open for group outings on most Mondays.
The city of Gainesville operates Ironwood Golf Course, an award winning public facility.
