Old Brickyard Golf Course
Played On 03/16/2019This time of year
The best of this course is the layout. This was my first visit. I will be easy with this review. Layout of the course is great. Most cart paths are concrete; but some need repair. I enjoyed the elevation changes from tee boxes to greens. Looks as though recent rains have washed out and caused some mudslides. Fairways right now are brownish due to recent winter season. The greens actually were in decent shape; balls ran true. Golf carts are gas models; which is great for some of these hilly terrain. If you haven't played this course; get a map layout. Good course for practice rounds. I played mid afternoon; course wasn't backed up; kinda slow. Clubhouse and bar was clean. There is a range onsite. I hope my next visit; fairways maybe in better shape.
Oak Hollow Golf Course
Played On 03/25/2017Disappointed
Maybe it's because I used to live in Florida; but I hated these greens. They were partially dead; short cut; painted type of greens. SMDH. The conditions left little control putting. Some tee boxes need repair. I would suggest they upgrade there flag markers; some looking shady. On the upside; it's a nicely laid out course. Some good challenges. Good average practice course. This was my first visit. I played a hot deal price; which made it reasonably priced. Was it worth my hour drive to the course; maybe. Hope with the warmer weather approaching the course improves.
Kings Ridge Golf Club - Kings Course
Played On 08/24/2015Pleasurable course
The course layout is nicely laid out. A bit confusing on where front 9 and back 9 start for first timers. not marked out. Fairways were nice; greens rolled good and not all hacked up. I found if you were even slightly off the fairway; into the rough; you really struggle to find your ball. I'm not talking OB areas but just a bit right or left of fairways. Ball sits down in the rough hard to find. Just need to take it down just a bit more. Saw some nice wildlife in the area. Played from the Blue tees; one back from the tips. It wasn't all that hard for an intermediate player like myself. Basically good comfortable nice course.
West Orange Country Club
Played On 06/28/2015Decent layout
This course is laid out nicely. Course is much better than some area courses for minimum fees. Greens are in good shape with average speeds. Fairways on this day where soggy in a few places; I think there was morning rain left over. Was upset over there water kegs. None of them where more than luke warm water; almost to the point of just spitting it out. Not good for 90 degree temps. The course is compact and narrow; keep your ball in play or loose in water hazards. Sand bunkers could use new sand; Tight and compacted hard to hit from. Sunday afternoon round single went well 2 & half hour round. Only 1 backup they allowed me to play through.
Hawk's Landing Golf Club
Played On 06/13/2015Somewhat Challenging
Course was in great condition; greens ran true; beware there is considerable water hazards on this course. The advantage was the GPS on the carts and positioning a point for your next shot. Helped a lot in club choice. Each Cart has a cooler with ice great for keeping your drinks cold. The staff was very helpful and polite. There is a bag dropoff (recommended) then park in lot across from pro shop; (press call button on box) to enter lot. As this was my first visit; I had to find this out on my own. This course plays 6602 yards from the tips; with 4 tee boxes to choose from. I'm a 24 Hcp; I chose the Green tees for 6165 yards/70.3/129 slope. Staff will clean your clubs at end of round. Have some tip money avail. Very well stocked pro shop. Beverage cart came by 4 times during the round. Very happy about that. Bunkers are very well sanded. Great times. will enjoy playing again.
Highland/Grove at Errol Country Club
Played On 05/03/2015Well Designed course layout
First I'd like to say; this course could be a top location to play. Now the BUT...... The design of this course is top notch; beautiful rolling fairways with nice elevational changes. What is lacking here is landscape management. I found that the fairways were patchy throughout the course; and leading up to some of the greens. The speed of the greens were fast which in my case I like. Conditions of the greens I'd grade @ 5 out 10. I would play this course again. I played an afternoon round w/ group of 4. We finished in approx. 4 hours. So there was very little back-up at this time. All in all the course proved fun and enjoyable.
Very nice layout design
Although the course is designed well; this day I attended the course fell short on several areas. I started as a single before finally pairing with the group in front of me. Play was so slow on this 3PM tee time. By hole #5 an hour had already passed. 5 hours to play this round. The Fairways where in horrible shape with lots of weed growth; Tee boxes where divoted up pretty good. On the better side of this it was a beautiful afternoon for golf.
Mystic Dunes Golf Club
Played On 07/12/2014excellent challenging layout
this course has a nice challenging layout I was very impressed I like the rolling hills throughout couple holes with water were nice watch out for the waste areas. this course has had some green and fairway issues. it has some bad patches but they appear to be working on them. all in all it is a manageable course. I have played worse courses. it is a step up from some of the lesser courses around Orlando.
Zellwood Station & Country Club
Played On 06/14/2014Always a enjoyable course
After being aerated a few weeks prior, the greens are coming back. They were slow greens early morning. Fairways appear to be good. One tee box was under construction par 3 on the back 9. No complaints. Will play again.
Swiss Fairways Golf Course
Played On 05/31/2014Great improvements
Its been some time since I last played here; but wow was I impressed with the new cart paths. They used to be all dirt and have been redone with concrete. Kudos. The greens were in good shape for the most part; Fairways where average. But sand traps need some work. There using better golf carts now. Also they've just opened a bar/cafe now. I believe they also have a pro shop too. Rates are very reasonable.
Magnolia Plantation Golf Club
Played On 8/31/2013Poorly maintained
Wow this course really has gone downhill under new management. At 10:30 AM and this course on a Saturday was dead. The range was empty. Putting green unmaintained dead grass with weeds. Course was not maintained; The grass in the rough was up to the calf muscles. Even better rough areas would about cover your ball completely. Fairways holding puddles in many areas with no rain recently. Cart tracks with rutts on fairways left your ball in bad lies. Hard packed sand in bunkers that had been hardened down for quite sometime had grass growing in the middle of them. Was really a disappointment considering I used to play Tournaments here. Club house Pro-shop was empty; no gear...nothing. About the only thing I didn't check was the bathroom. with rates of 38 dollars.... No Way would I come back here. Sorry for bad review; but it is what it is.
The Country Club of Mount Dora
Played On 05/18/2013Great Challenging Layout
I played this course for the first time; I love the layout and challenges you face out here. Water plays into 16 of the holes. The course appeared to be on the dry side. Several greens need some repair. Greens played fast with the dry conditions. I didn't use the range; you hit balls into water. Range looked as if it needed some better upkeep. I never saw a cart girl; but they do have a halfway house going to hole 10 to purchase a little something something. Great thing was there was no back-ups this day on tees. All play was smooth. I'd enjoy playing this course again; but till you master these hole layouts be conservative on your shots; lost balls are possible here... LOL
The Country Club at Deer Run
Played On 09/18/2012Great course for working on your game
I am a regular here at Deer Run. On my recent play the course was under repair. Little dissapointed. Rough needed some trimming. Fairways had work being done; open holes on course. standing water made the course mushy. Putting green was shut down. Greens were average condition. On the plus side the course is a nice layout; Moderate difficulty. Good slope/par numbers. Play early; recommended. Weekend gets busy.
Black Bear Golf Club
Played On 09/18/2012Superb course
I've only had the pleasure of playing this course for the first time; But it was very enjoyable. Staff was pleasant. Carts are in great shape with good quality GPS units. Course layout is very nice; but terain is challenging with flowing hills and mounds. Bunkers placed well. Water hazards are reasonable. The rough was a little on the high side but manageable. Fairways great shape; not divoted up too much. I give the course 5 stars.
Mayfair Country Club
Played On 09/17/2012Great course for relaxing play
Just out for a relaxing round this course is for you; Moderately maintained and laid out. Not very stressful. Course equipment is average. Course rangers working hard to make experience enjoyable. Club house shop needs expansion or updating (limited). Fairways need some work; but not in a condition that is undesireable. Greens look ok. Not bad of a course for beginners or just looking to get is a round. Reasonably priced golf course. Nice deals on memberships.
