Go play it!

Definitely worth the money! Greens are in good shape fairways were in good shape staff was terrific. Course layout was challenging. We played from the back tees and with the wind we were getting our butts kicked. The only issue was a group 3 groups ahead were crazy slow, someone eventually went out and move them along, but it should’ve been done four holes earlier.

Also
This wasn’t her fault, but the person at the halfway house was overwhelmed, because whoever made the decision had her grilling hotdogs and putting the condiments on for each person. I’m in the business, I set up systems on golf courses.so stuff like this drives me crazy. If you want to grill them great then grill them ahead of time put them in a steamer and have a condiment tray so the golfers can do it themselves. OR Put another person out there and have them grill the hotdogs There was actually three groups of golfers waiting to get hotdogs.at the turn. Ridiculous. Again. Not her fault. She was great! And to be fair, the hotdog was terrific. :)

No COVID Precautions!

The course is a very nice course, definitely worth worth the money. My issue was they have no Covid precautions in place. There’s a sign saying they are in phase 3. No one is wearing masks no social distancing. What’s most egregious is the woman at the counter and the General manager weren’t wearing masks and when I asked, politely mind you, why they weren’t wearing masks she berated me said she never wore a mask ever and if I had a problem with that I could leave. She even went as far as to threaten to throw me out if I kept bringing it up. I replied that I couldn’t be the only person to bring this up and she said I was, no one has ever brought it up to her. Then they charged us $10 extra to have our own carts. She was rude. Her attitude was totally unacceptable. Walmart, Publix, every public building, the United States Congress the CDC and every school makes masks mandatory. I will not be back.

Quality course

This is a good course with challenging holes. Not the toughest but to score you need to hit shots. I'm in Pittsburgh for the quarantine. I play lots of golf all over the east coast. the staff is friendly, the tee boxes and the greens are well kept. I thought they ran a foot or so slow but with the traffic I get it. Bottom line. For 33$ this course is well worth it. I've paid more up here for far less.

Good course. Well worth it.

The layout is uniques. Each hole has its own challenges. The fairways are in perfect shape probably gonna have to roll the ball. And all the greens are in good shape but they’re a little slow.
But for the price I think it’s one Of the Best places to play. Staff is efficient and friendly.

So grateful for the distraction.

With all that’s going on right now for me it was a blessing to be able to play golf. And to be lucky enough to play a course of that quality, for such a reasonable price was amazing. The staff is great they were on a skeleton crew but the inside pro shop guys were genuinely helpful the cart barn guys were great, above and beyond if you ask me. As far as the course it’s a great layout very challenging I played from the back tees ( allow me to humble brag that I shot 78) The fairways weren’t in terrific shape, but the greens were rolling great and fast. Because the price was so low some players who didn’t really have the game to play a course like that we’re out there and took quite a long time. We got behind three guys that were just her Awful, weren’t dressed properly and The most important issue was they were very very slow. You don’t have to be a low handicap to play in four hours. But that really has nothing to do with the course. Just a great day I hope I get back there to play it again.

Silver lining to the virus!

I’m not making light of the virus, but I wouldn’t be able to play if the price wasn’t right. I am a low handicappers. I have many players and friends who are over 20 handicaps that I love to play with. but the guys we were behind weren’t dressed properly didn’t understand the etiquette and really shouldn’t have been on a course of that quality and level. If anybody reads this, tell your friends, collared shirt tucked in no cargo shorts golf shoes and if you’re A 3 handicap leave the pin in, you’re not that good.

Nice day!

Staff is very friendly, very accommodating, very professional. Course is a very very good layout very interesting holes to play. Greens are in decent enough shape fairways are pretty bare in many spots but for 30 bucks you’re not getting Augusta.I would definitely go back and play for the price. if they put a little money into the place it would be one of the best courses I play around Orlando

Nice course. Short but fun.

I had a pretty good day price was right the course is in really good shape it’s short for me hit mostly three words and five words off the tee but still had a hit shots still had to play golf really good day partnered up with a member had a great time. Pace was a little slow doesn’t seem to be any rangers out there moving people which would’ve helped.

Poor service. course is lacking.

It all started with the interaction with the gentleman in the Green Bay Packers shirt. He was rude and dismissive failed to give me any information. He understood the questions I was asking and just was flippant and condescending. I’m a five handicap who golfs twice a week I was driving around looking for a place to play and I stopped in there. He made such a big deal about how busy they were and he couldn’t get me out. Finally I just bought a tee time walked our to the starter and played in 10 minutes. For the life of me I don’t understand why he was so difficult to deal with. My entire career is dealing with the public he should not be doing it.
That being said, the course is worth the 25 bucks I paid I guess greens were slow and uneven course is nowhere near manicured tons of areas you couldn’t even play out of which were either on the fairway or close to the fairway. Looks like it could be a good course a decent set up but I’ll never come back.

Should be better informed.

Everybody knows that Orange county national has two great courses almost always perfectly manicured usaully a great day of golf on the course unfortunately two things happened, one I called several days before my tee time and asked if they had aerated the greens l, this is the time many courses do, the person I got through to said nope they’re going to aerate them on June 9 the greens will be perfect. That was not the case. There are plenty of courses to play in Orlando we would’ve went somewhere else and came back and played next week This is what happens when I’m not allowed to call the pro shop directly it’s so annoying. if you’re not going to allow me to talk to the pro shop please make sure that the people you funnel me to, sitting in some room somewhere have all the information and understand the game of golf which this person obviously didn’t. I’m assuming that was the case I can’t imagine you would have that person lie to me on purpose About the greens.
Secondly We caught up with a group of 12, three foursomes on our back nine. they stopped and had lunch at the turn. we went off on 10 we saw them taking a break at their turn. A full nine holes in front of us. we caught up to them on on 6 which was our back nine, and the last four holes took Over an hour to play where as the previous 14 took us two hours. I know for a fact they took an extended break at the turn when I brought it up to the Ranger he had no idea that they had done that once again what is the point of having Rangers if you are either not going to give them the authority to manage the course or you’re going to hire people who are too wimpy to do the job. I am going to be back to play these courses they’re great courses but today was not a banner day for the management team I’ll be back but I’m not rushing back to play. there’s plenty of golf in Orlando the play.

Nice course. Good layout. Greens are shaped nice makes you think on your approach shots. Today the greens were painfully slow but I hear that’s not normal. Courtney inside was courteous and more importantly efficient. I will definitely play here again.

Great day.

This course is in good shape. The layout is challenging. There are some great holes. From the back tees it plays about 6500 yards but there are some large carries you really have to be on your game. Greens were good. Not slow not too fast. Staff is great. Friendly and efficient. I’ll be back.

Not worth the money

Inexpensive round of golf, but it was worth even less than the 30$ they charged. I only played there because I had the afternoon off and I wanted to work on something in my game. For the life of me I don’t know why courses like this even exist. Dirt everywhere. Tee boxes, fairways, sand traps. Staff was indifferent. But what do you expect. It’s a prime example of 18 holes of golf built on 14 holes of land. I’ve played many golf courses that cost $30 and they are able to maintain some standards. This course has none.

Big Big Big Improvment

I played here a couple of years ago and anyone who knows this place knows it was a joke. I'm not saying, they didn't have a ranger or the bathrooms were messy. I'm saying it seemed as if the course had been abandoned for dead. It was a cow pasture. But now, wow! Night and day. Its not perfect but it's green and well kept. The greens are coming back, I suspect in 6 months they'll be running nicely at a 8 or 9. I always thought it was decent track. They have one tricked up hole where they try to stop you from hitting driver. I didn't know the hole so I hit 5 iron. Next time I'll take 3wood over the tree. Its pretty short so I probably won't play it much. but if you're a short hitter or a higher handicap it's a great course. The price is right too. I'll bet it will go up a little but the increase will be worth it. Staff was great too. Pro shop, starter, bartender. All were friendly and efficient. Good job whoever bought this place. Now don't get lazy, keep it up!

Good course

Good course. Difficult and fun to play. A little over priced. No beverage cart. No halfway house. They don’t seem to treat the public players as well as the members. If I lived there I would love it. But I probably won’t go back.

Great course. Beautiful

Great course. Difficult but fair. Great staff . Ladies in the grill room were spot on! Course was just beautiful. Winding paths through sanctuary lands. Generous landing areas but lots or water if you spray it. Greens were perfect. Just one issue Very slow , we saw the ranger many times but he didn’t seem to be doing anything. We waited on every hole. 4:40 is too long.

Not worth it

Way overpriced. Poor course in poor condition. The man in the proshop was condescending and rude. Lunch was suposedly included in my overpriced greens fee, I told him I didn’t want to eat before the round he made a big production about how the buffet is open till five “it’ll be there” I got done at 4:30 and it wasn’t. I asked to speak to him but he was gone. All other staff were great. He, who I was told was the GM, was unprofessional. Needless to say, I won’t be back.

This course cost 22 dollars. Worth every penny. Slow play poor greens poor fairways. I’m not upset about it. What do you expect for 22 dollars? I should have got her name but the young Lady at the counter was exceptional. Polite, knowledgeable and went the extra mile for the smallest of requests. If anyone at the place reads this, hold onto her.
