Slow start

All was good except a 30 minute wait to tee off at mid-day. Based on the starter's "explanation" for the delay it sounded like a large group had started earlier in the morning - which likely means a number of players had not pre-booked.

A fun but unusual course for Central Florida

I'm not a big fan of blind tee shots, there are three or four of them on this course and only one of those offers an aim line target, so, playing the course for the first time with others who had not played there adds to the challenge. The course has numerous elevation changes which is unusual in central Florida, and relatively little in the way of water hazards. Only one hole has a significant forced carry (170 yards will clear the water but you need 190 to clear the hazard line, but the hole does offer a dry line bail out option.

Two of the par fives run along the perimeters of very large "craters" or mostly dry sinkholes. Unfortunately for the average amateur this sets up three shot in a row where a draw is the preferred shot. There are also three or four holes with significant slope left of right which also encourages being able to shape shots both ways to avoid running off into the rough (or into the crater).

I played the course on a very wet day (the first course I booked closed for the day due to ponding in the fairways), not as much of a problem on a course with these slopes, but...I would hope the bunkers usually permit normal explosion shots rather than just chunk and runs (it did look like they power rake them to avoid hard packed wet sand).

I look forward to another opportunity to play the course and take advantage of some of the local knowledge gained during the round.

My only real knock was that the 19th hole wasn't open (a Bailey's and coffee would have been welcome after the round) on a Monday (President's day?).

Fun p;ace for a good price!

I've played Zellwood every year for 10 years. The course today was quite good - tee boxes were much improved, fairways were good, greens were firm but good, bunkers aren't a strong suit but were somewhat groomed. This course has many elevations which is not the norm in Florida. The restaurant is good and prices for food and drink are great! All staff were very friendly and helpful. One of the better $50 ish coutrses around.

Nice Challenge

Even though I played poorly, I really enjoyed the layout of the course. The fairways were in excellent condition and the greens were in decent shape. Most greens were protected by bunkers which were pretty well maintained.

We'll Be Back

Nice Fairways - great greens that reward good putts. Front nine is wide open- back nine challenges your accuracy. Overall a fun course and a good deal compared to other similar courses in the area . Lots of elevation changes and lots of well placed bunkers-bring your sand wedge!

Nice course, challenging

Nice challenging course for a mid handicapper. Lots of water and sloped fairways so you gotta place your tee shot just right! Only lost one ball 🤣
