Of course, you as a newlywed husband should spend your time striving to “gladden the woman (you) married,” according to Shana Rishona. But, holy smokes, maybe not for a whole year. That’s how long the Orthodox Jewish honeymoon was supposed to last. That doesn’t necessarily mean 365 champagne toasts at Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club’s poolside.

While we at Golden Ocala certainly wouldn’t mind taking a yearlong honeymoon – in fact, we’re pretty sure we’d be extremely “gladdened” – we do want to explore some of the best places for your honeymoon.

We fully concede we have a built-in bias. Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club is the best place for a honeymoon. We mean, look at our luxurious amenities: 18-hole world-class golf course, Har-Tru Hydro-Grid® tennis courts, state-of-the-art Fitness Center, Salon and Spa and the finest restaurants this side of “I now pronounce thee”.
