The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando, Grande Lakes

About
The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando, Grande Lakes sits along the pristine headwaters of the Florida Everglades, surrounded by live oaks, towering pines, and palmettos. Two-time British Open Champion Greg Norman designed the golf course. He and his team focused on preserving the area's natural beauty and ecosystem. The ponds, wetlands, and mature trees were carefully protected and incorporated into the challenges of the design. The final result blends in so seamlessly it's as though the golf course had been there all along. Norman's commitment to the environment was recognized with the course's certification as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. The player-friendly layout has wide fairways and generous landing areas but the subtly contoured greens and strategically placed hazards will keep you on your toes. Five sets of tees make the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando, Grande Lakes even more accessible to players of any skill level.

Wrapping up a great day. Photo submitted by Scott4497478 on 11/06/2012
2+ inch fairways...
They are overseeing the course and the fairways are like hitting out of rough. I lost a ball in the middle of the fairway, despite it being bold red, because of how high the grass is. Def not worth the $100 green fee.
My wife and I had a great round.
Terrific course, great staff, well-maintained and we both enjoyed it immensely. We look forward to coming back again very soon.
Disappointed
I’ve always wanted to play this course and finally decided to pull the trigger.
First off, the course is beautiful. It looks like Augusta as you move through it. We saw deer and gators and turkeys... so that was great.
The greens were good but not great. The bunkers were ROCK solid and almost unplayable. There was construction on 5 of the holes and one of the holes we had to skip.
If this course was $50 I’d say absolutely, but not anywhere near $150 worth.
Not even close to worth the money
The greens are the worst I have played on in a long time. Worth about $25 to play here. The Ritz should be ashamed of themselves!!!!! STAY AWAY!! Big holes in the greens.
Ritz scores again
Great layout...great practice facility..great staff...unfortunately lots of rain...disappointed In greens...spotty
Not what it used to be
I've played the Ritz a lot over the years but had taken a break. This was my first time coming back in a bout a year. While I still love the course, and overall the quality of the course is good. It just doesn't meet the standards the Ritz once had. The price is a premium. There were spots of crab grass on the greens, areas of the rough and shrubbery that were unkept and some washed out bunkers. You can tell they were struggling with the recent bout of heavy rain, so low lying areas were green but higher levels were dry from watering that had probably been cut back.
I still love the layout of the course and the staff is great, but the course is hardly to the level of detail it once was. I anticipate they will rebound for the winter months. I'll return but may be another 6months or so to give them time to hopefully correct the current issues of the course.
Soaked fairways, sandy greens and hard bunkers!
I was anticipating a great course for $85 green fees, but the fairways were soaked everywhere. Greens super sandy from being aerated, and bunkers were super hard packed. My son is in the military stationed in Clearwater, FL and we met in Orlando for the day. I live in Jacksonville. Not a very good course right now. Price should have been $30 at the most.
If you can get out there for 70-80$ !!!
Good track tee boxes flat and green fairways of course impeccable, greens are typical summer. Could be cut shorter a little sliw. Over all was a good fathers day.
Great layout
Enjoyed it had heard about it for years finally got on ! Was typical summer condition but otherwise great layout was challenging! Played with 3 guys from bay hill was a great day would go back anytime
Great and fun layout.
Beware. Go to Ritz Carlton webpage to book time. They charge ten dollars less and no convenience fee v
Had to Cancel
We unfortunately had to cancel due to severe weather in the area. The staff at the course recommended canceling the day before and informed us that we should wait until mid to late June to reschedule as the course starts major groundwork starting tomorrow. We appreciated that info and hope that Golf Now is going to refund our deposit.
Great course
The two of us played in 2 hours 10 minutes.
Nice layout. Thought greens would be faster but rolled very true.
Staff was very friendly. Definitely on the list of courses to play.
roger
first time here, played solo fort thing. nice place. Great people
Beautiful
Beautiful course...beautifully landscaped! Some very difficult holes with bunkers galore! Greens were perfect... fast rolling and true! Lunch at the club house was fantastic!
Disappointed
Staff wasn’t accommodating. Course wasn’t manicured enough for nearly a 5 star course. Build up was higher than reality. Definitely not on my future play list.
Always Top Notch Conditions
Pristine conditions tee to green on a fun layout. Staff is 1st rate, always a good time.
