NIck Basilio says:
Excellant test of Golf. Scratch to 20 handicapp will love this
layout. Very fair and in great condition. You will use every
club in the bag. Par threes are the best in Orlando. |
Jim Cross SAYS...
If your in Orlando, you must play this course. A great Fazio
layout that is fair yet challenging. Service was great and staff
treated us like kings. |
Loren Leys SAYS...
This course is somewhat overrated, While certainly well designed
it has a monotony about it and the greens were bumpy (the worst
of 6 coures we played this Oct). I will skip this one the next
time I am in Orlando. |
George Smothers SAYS...
Nice course. Best finishing hole in the area. Greens roll true
90% of the year. Must play for a serious golfer. |
Louie Moss SAYS...
Easily the best course we played on our trip in October. Thirty
minute drive from I-Drive but well worth. A Fazio gem you don't
won't to miss. Staff was great. |
MALCOLM HOLDEN SAYS...
loved the course would go back again. attendents and course
were great. fun to play |
Genrus Joe SAYS...
My group from Michigan loved the layout and the amenities. We
were very dissapointed with the condition of the greens. They
failed to mention when we booked the course that a fungus had
taken over several of the greens and you were putting over very
thin grass or in some cases, black dirt. All the greens had
fertilizer on them making it very hard to read the speed of
the green. I thought a price break was in order or at the very
least, an apology!!!! Joe |
Gregory Johnstone SAYS...
Played course (twice) on 4/12, very firm greens, still recovering
from fungus. Fantastic layout, generous fairways and greens.
Great staff and practice area. Probably the best course in Orlando
though it is 45 minutes from Disney area. |
John Foster SAYS...
Played this course on Friday,10/09/03. Course was a good test
of skills. Greens rolled true and fast. Scenery was great along
with the service. a bit of a drive from Orange Lake resort but
well worth the trip. facilities are second to none. |
Jim Smith SAYS...
Played course on 10/15/03. What a great experience! Greens were
fast and true and pace of play was great unlike some of the
other resort area courses we played. 30-45 minutes from Kissimmee
but well worth it. Fazio at his best. |
steve c. SAYS...

me and the pictures are keepers. you will find a challenge no
