Good. Golfnow. Not so much.

Greens had been punched last week and the course doesn't seem to drain too well.. Of course, greedy Golfnow, doesn't bother to tell me the greens had been punched.. Being the top quality course that it is, they did a nice job smoothing and sanding the greens so they didn't roll too bad. HOWEVER, neither the course, nor Golfnow bothered to tell me that hole 16 was torn up between the blue/black tees and the white/red tees. Other than these two issues had a very nice time. Recommended.

Gem of a course!

A great Arthur Hills designed course. I have played the LPGA Hills course many times and this is very reminiscent. A challenging layout to be sure. Not a good course for the beginner. Narrow landing areas and fairways make this a challenge if you tee shot is errant. Conditions were very good. Once the greens completely heal from the punching it will be top notch. Highly recommended!

Great course, fair condition.

I love playing this course. I usually play this course in the summer when the rates are cheaper. Found a hot deal for $36. Steal! The course was very wet and soggy due to large amount unseasonal rain. Many of the greens were not in great shape, which is surprising given the caliber of this course. Still a very enjoyable round! I'll will be back many more times.

Not like the Hills Course

I was surprised by the amount of renovation on the course this time of year. Lot of ground under repair. Several traps were unkept. The course is much less exciting than the HIlls course. Greens were in good shape and fast. I don't think I will play this course again. The Hills course is just that much better. Seems like most holes straight away with moguls on both sides. Not real exciting....

I love this course but not in tip top shape.

I love this course, but was surprised by the condition. Weeds in the fairway with many bare spots. Tee boxes were fine but hadn't been mowed. The greens were excellent. I will come back for sure and recommend the course but I was very surprised by the not so top notch condition.

Nice course but could be much better.

Harmony could be soooo much better with some TLC. The greens are their sweet spot but the rest of the course is withering on the vine. Tee boxes were very average. Fairways were below average. Traps are good. If the management company would spent some money, this course could be brought back to life. Not on life support, but if this continues, it will be. Would I recommend this course. Yes, but I wouldn't pay more than $25.

Course not in the best shape.

North Shore is usually in good condition, but today not so much. The greens were slow and a bit bumpy. Several tee boxes were in really bad shape. Not sure what's going on. I hope my neighborhood course doesn't go down hill like Stoneybrook East.

Decent course for the money.

I read all the excellent reviews for this course and was very excited to play it. Coming down from Orlando, it was quite a haul. Greeted by a very nice guy in the clubhouse. The starter was friendly, but not overly enthusiastic. The course layout is great. Five stars for the layout. However, the conditions were just fair. I was really surprised that the course wasn't in better shape considering the reviews. Tee boxes and fairways were ok but not that great. The rough was fair to poor and the greens were ok but not great. They were inconsistent on speed which drives me crazy. Overall, if you are driving from Orlando, there are much better courses that are a whole lot closer. I will try it again this summer when the rates go down.

OK but not nearly as good as El Campeon

First time playing Las Colinas. I had high hopes because El Campeon is always a treat to play. To be fair, the layout is nice and the little interaction with the staff was cordial. The course however was a let down. The tee boxes were good. No glaring bare spots. The fairways were OK but not real plush. This course does not seem to drain that well. There were many areas that were very wet. The rough was brown and patchy in many spots. Not what you would expect for peak season. The greens were a let down. They had recently fertilized and hadn't been mowed in what appeared to be a couple of days. The putting green rolled great and then you hit the course and the greens were very SLOOOOOOW. You really had to muscle it to get it to the hill. Even when putting down hill they were very slow. All in all, it was very disappointing. Next time out, I'll play El Campeon and skip Las Colinas.

North Shore is always is very good shape.

The course is in great shape. Greens as always are in great shape. Had perfect weather for the day after Christmas. I am fortunate to have such a great course in my neighborhood. Now if we could bet people to REPLACE YOUR DIVOTS ON THE GREENS it would be in better condition for everybody.

Much improved from late summer.

Played in August and the course needed some work to be done to get it back up in good condition. The bunkers have been redone and are looking great. Tee boxes in good shape and the greens run firm and true. Decent value for an early afternoon round for this time of year. Recommended.

Excellent experience all the way around. Staff was top notch! Very friendly and acommodating. The course was in fantastic shape. A few holes cart path only due to heavy rain. It is always a treat to play the Waldorf and it never fails to disappoint. Thank you!

The course is coming around.

Last couple of times I played here the conditions have been improving. The tee boxes were in good shape. Only two boxes were open. They appeared to be fertilizing the other two boxes. That is a good sign. The fairways were in excellent shape. The greens were bumpy and slow due to recent aerification. Were told they were in great shape. Not sure about that one. The worst part about the course that needs IMMEDIATE attention is the bunkers. I would say 90% of them are unplayable. Many of them had standing water in them. You just had to take the ball out and play it from the rough. I hope this problem is fixed, soon! Nice course, close to home. I will be back.

Thank you for playing and for your comments. We apologize if the greens were not recovered as promised, they are rolling very well now. Also, we do have plans for the near future to greatly improve our bunkers and their drainage. We hope to see you again soon!

Excellent as usual!

This is a solid consistent course. I've played it many times and it never fails to disappoint. The course condition was excellent from tee to green. The greens were rolling fast and true. Just like they should. If you haven't play OCN, you are missing out. Both courses are fantastic and have their own personalities. I look forward to going back in November.

Excellent Course!

This was my first time playing either course @ Champions Gate. I had a solo 1:00 tee time. I was greeted very politely by the gentlemen in the pro shop and was told my bag had been taken down to the starter and put on a cart. Fast service was a plus. The course was slow for a Sunday which was I was surprised. I fully planned on being put in a group which was fine. The starter told me that the course was pretty empty and that I could tee off whenever I was ready. I was able to go out 30 minutes early. Another plus. When I teed off, I felt like I had the course to my self! I really enjoyed the layout of the course. The conditions were great considering that it was hit hard by Irma. Only two holes (6 and 8) had a lot of standing water and were not draining real fast. No problem. I really enjoyed the back nine. I like the strategic dog legs that were found on the back side. Thanks for a very enjoyable round. I will be back!

Really going down hill.

I really like playing this course. Fun, challenging and close to my house. Played in the middle of July and the conditions were awful. Weeds on the tees, fairways and especially the bunkers. I see the them mowing the grass but not much else. The collars around several of the greens are bare. The greens used to roll true and fast, not the case anymore. I am not sure of the company who is managing the course anymore but they need to be fired. On 18, when you see the beautiful clubhouse, you expect more from this course. I will be back because it is fairly cheap and close. BUT, if I had to to drive a distance to play it, no way. Too many other nice courses in Orlando. I hope they will turn it around.

Took another chance and still the same......unfortunately.

Reading the recent reviews of how this course was making a comeback, I thought I would give it a try. Talking to the starter, he asked when I played it last and I informed him it was a couple of years ago. He then replied, "Oh your going to see a big difference." Sorry, to say he was wrong. The greens on the front nine were unplayable. We just figured a two putt and move on. The back nine greens were better but not great. The fairways were thin and weeds were plentiful in the rough and around the greens. The course layout is great, but too heavily hindered by poor playing conditions. I don't think I will give it a third try.

Great course got better!

The greens renovation are awesome. They are fast, albeit a little hard until they get them punched. The rest of the course is very good and for the money this time of year you can't beat it. Highly recommended!

This course has gone downhill. The greens are atrocious. Fungus, bare spots, annual grass spots. What a hodge-podge. The tee boxes aren't much better. Unfortunately this course doesn't drain well and there are multiple spots that are a soupy mess. I had a few shots that landed in standing water in the traps. The only redeeming quality is the layout. This is the only reason I gave it one star. They should pay you to play this course.

The best greens around.

The course was in very good condition. Greens were excellent and ran true. The only complaint, a few of the tee boxes were rather bare. Other than that, a very nice round.
