Enjoyable Course

Black Bear is one of my favorite courses in the area. It rewards good shots, but has many challenges. The sand traps were a bit wet in spots and sand somewhat hard. The fairways were in good shape and the greens relatively even in their roll. Black Bear is always a fun challenge to play.

Course in good shape

Stoneybrook was in very good shape. The greens were medium speed and rolled consistently. The fairways were full and very playable. The course has lots of water that can be navigated using target golf. It was an enjoyable round and the staff was very courteous and friendly. I will definitely come back.

Nice Track

Deltona provides a nice challenge for most golfers with a well laid out course. No water, but plenty of sand. Greens are slower than most courses, but consistent. The staff is always great. Mark the starter, Peggy and Joe inside do a real nice job of making you feel welcome. I play here on a regular basis.

Overall, course in pretty good shape

Our round was a bit long due to morning fog (can't be helped) and the club championship going on which included some dastardly pin placements, but fun. The fairways were in above average shape given our recent cold weather. Some of the greens had rough spots as did the fairways but well marked as ground under repair. The staff at this course is always accommodating and friendly. Deer Run is a good value for the price and an interesting layout.

Course is looking good

Twin Rivers continues to improve. The new ownership has made positive changes to make the course much more playable. The fairways are a little thin this time of year which is normal. The greens were in good shape. The staff was very friendly and the on course cart service was excellent. Overall, a good value for the money.

Still Good after Hurricane

The course was very well cleaned up after the recent hurricane. The greens were rough but I'm sure in a few weeks, they will be returning to their usual good condition.The area has experienced a lot of rain recently so there were numerous casual water spots. But this course is above average for the area and a decent bargain.

Good value outside Orlando

Black Bear always makes an enjoyable round. The course requires thinking before your shot and requires accuracy to avoid the penalty areas. I play here 6-8 times per year. It is one of my favorite Orlando area courses.

One of my Favorites

Black Bear has been my favorite course in the North Orlando area for some time. It has challenges that either reward you or penalize you based on your shot making ability. The greens are usually very consistent and fairways nice. The staff is courteous. I always enjoy playing here and don't mind the extra drive from Oviedo.

Excellent Value Course

Deltona was in very nice shape even though it had recently been aerated. The greens were extremely well maintained and the value for the price is way above average. A challenging, yet playable course.

Book this course!

The Jones course was one of the nicest courses we have played in the Central Florida area. Every shot, whether fairway or rough was played on very nice turf. Trap placement was challenging for the moderate golfer. Greens were true and the overall course conditions were excellent. The staff made you feel extremely welcome. Definite recommendation.

Wet after rain, but course in good shape

We played after several hard rains. The greens are in great shape and roll very consistently. Overall, a nice track to play. Staff was very friendly and cordial throughout the round. Several of the tee boxes were in poor shape, but overall, a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Great Day for 9 holes

The course was in very good condition with the exception of a couple greens. They definitely needed lots of work. Otherwise, an excellent value for the money. The club attendant was rather dubious of the actual rate we had booked on golfnow.com. I am not sure what that was about? But, once on the course, it played in its usual fine form.

A nice up and down challenging course

We played just the back 9. The staff is super friendly and goes the extra mile. The course itself features a relatively EZ layout if you are precise. Too far left or right gets you in lots of trouble. You need to use the slope around the greens on your approach. Overall, a fun experience.

A challenging layout

Overall, a very tough layout. Shot placement is important. Lots of sand and other hazards. Greens were in very good shape. Overall, a nice value. Take the lunch tee time for an extra $4. Great way to finish your round!

Timacuan - excellent staff, tough course, water level low, greens in great shape!

Overall, this course is a tough challenge from the "blues". Greens were in great condition, overall course was above average. The water level is down quite a bit which helped our group find a few more balls. And the staff was just excellent. Very attentive and made you feel like they appreciated your business. I would recommend this course as a good value in the Orlando area.
