The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando, Grande Lakes
Played On 08/12/2016Great Resort Course
Came here on a mid-August dat around 3:30 to get some practice in before teeing off at 4:15. Hit about 10 balls before the sirens sounded for lightening strike in the area. The rains came in and we finally got out around 5:30. There were maybe 4 other groups on the course at this time so we played the whole 18 in under 3 hours. The course was in great shape but very wet. The drainage was not great. The fairways were in very good shape as well as the greens. The greens were not as fast as some people mentioned but it did rain before we played. Layout was fun and more challenging from the back tees. Very generous bail out areas around the greens for the "resort player". Great deal of $34 from Golf Now!!

Played On 07/18/2016Downhill spiral thanks to Integrity Golf!
This course used to be in great shape with challenging greens and well placed bunkers but now the greens are all dried out and bunkers are overgrown. Save your money unless you get a $10 Hot Deal on Golf Now!!

Played On 04/25/2016Could be Very Good!
Plays this course after getting it on GolfNow for $40. The course had very little players on it so the pace of play was excellent. The layout was very good and since we played from the tips it was almost 7000 yes and made it more challenging. The staff was friendly and very helpful and the weather was perfect.
Now for the bad news:
1. 5-6 of the greens had a bad fungus on them so they were very choppy.
2. Some fairways had rough spots as well so you had to go with "summer rules" quite often here.
3. Course is surrounded by lower income homes which doesn't make for great scenery and we even had to chase 2 kids off of one of the tee boxes since they were riding bikes down the hill!
This is a challenging design with a lot of strategic water placement so you need to hit it straight but this course could be 4 stars overall with better course greens keeping! Bring back Carl Spackler!
