The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando, Grande Lakes

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.

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

Beware. Go to Ritz Carlton webpage to book time. They charge ten dollars less and no convenience fee v

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.

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.

first time here, played solo fort thing. nice place. Great people

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!

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.

Pristine conditions tee to green on a fun layout. Staff is 1st rate, always a good time.

The layout is a great Greg Norman design. As a single-digit handicap, it is challenging. My real disappointment comes with the conditions and price. If this were a $50 round, I’d be giving it a better review. At $250 around with a client I’m treating, it sucked! It starts at the range, very thin grass, soggy in parts and no where to clean sand from clubs and poor surfaces. Then on the course, tee boxes aren’t level on most holes and not in good shape - all chunked up and not repaired. As for the fairways, not terrible - a lot of play and infilled divots. I don’t think the over-seeding took very well. Bunkers aren’t consistent. Green side bunkers need more sand and raking. Greens roll ok, but filled with divots, collars are crap with sod inserts in parts or bare dirt. Scenery is good on most holes unless you’re staring at the ugly hotel and they’re starting to build houses in parts. Play with caution, nice place, good staff, terrible conditions for $250 round.

My first greeting from staff was not the best but not going to let it spoil my overall review. (Nicer staff when I came in)
Wish I had a better day (rained a lot) because layout was great and course looked in beautiful condition.
Looking forward to a dry day and playing again.
Would recommend playing this course.

In an area where golf courses tend to set themselves apart with eye-candy and ostentation, the Ritz is an exception. Short on flashy bunkering, exterior mounding and other forms of definition, it tends to challenge the golfer quietly, rather than overtly.

This leads to an interesting contrast, because the property's large and imposing Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott hotels are in view throughout the round. As the name implies, course conditions are very good and the facilities are comprehensive. Overall it's a solid upscale resort golf experience.

Had the opportunity to play the Ritz for the first time on Wednesday. I had previously been there for the PNC father-son event last year, but didn’t get to see much of the golf course because I was with my kids. I ended up liking the golf course way more than I thought I would. The course was in very good shape and there was a decent amount of variety to this Greg Norman layout.

My favorite hole was definitely the split fairway Par 4 on the back nine.

The site lines in the greens can be difficult as there isn’t a lot of mounding to give your shots perspective. I also found the shape of the greens to be fairly awkward. There were times when I walked up assuming I was on the green and ended up being considerably off and on the fringe. I was fine with this, it actually made it more interesting.

Looking forward to visiting again.
