This is absolutely a must play Golf Course when in Central Florida. Wherever you are staying in the Orlando or Central Florida area this Golf Course has become a must play course when choosing where to play. The course is in excellent condition from tee to greens. It is being cared for beautifully and is such a joy to play from the first hole right through to the 18th. The views are spectacular and if your fortunate enough to see the water skiers while playing it just adds to the overall enjoyment of playing this very scenic exciting golf course. It has without a doubt one of the best overall layouts you will play. As mentioned the course is in great condition. Staff is wonderful and just an overall great experience. Get out and play Swiss and enjoy a great golfing experience.

As a snowbird who had been coming down for 11 years now Highlands Reserve is always a go too course. Try to get at least 4-7 rounds here every Winter. Course is well maintained. Staff exceptional. Fun course to play and fair for all levels of player. I really never have anything negative to say about this golf course. As long I keep coming here in the Winters Highlands will always be on my list. I always try to get my first few rounds prior to mid January because the rates are much lower and then after mid January look for Golfnow Hot Deals as the rates are higher. Rate s are still good compared to a lot around but when here for 4 months and want to play a lot of golf the hot deals come in handy! Highly recommend Highlands to all golfers.

Hadn't Played Mayfield since 2006 so I was Pleasantly surprised to see that the course was in Great condition especially with the Hot Humid Temperatures we've been having. The Greens were Very Green and very well maintained. The course is a Great Value and great for all levels. Fun course to play. I'm glad I went back after so many years. Definately will go back again. Got a great rate because of a golfnow Hot deal, but the course is well worth a regular rate. Pace was 4:15-4:30 which is well expected at an 11:36 tee time. Keep it up Mayfield, Course is looking Great!!!

I'm fortunate enough to write a 2nd review for this beautiful course that I've now played twice in a week. No different than my previous review a week ago how wonderful this course is tee to green. The G12 greens here are the best I've played here this year. Tee boxes are great and the fairways are great. I missed some things in my last review that I truly believe need to be acknowledged about this course and pleased I get a 2nd opportunity to add a few important things I missed.
First after you drive in and park you are met immediately by an attendant to take your bag and put it on a cart. Once in the Pro Shop for check in you are greeted by Chris. What a pleasant gentleman Chris is. He makes you feel so welcoming. Greeted us when we came in. Welcomed us back even though we played the week prior and he sees many faces. He remembered us and greeted us back. What a pleasure it is to have someone as Chris on the desk. Thank You Chris for your excellent hospitality. Now the Starter! George! Another great experience with George as a starter. So personable and friendly. All starters should take a lesson from George how to greet a customer at the first tee. Wonderful. Again thank you to George. I can't say enough good things about our experience here this year. Sorry I'm leaving to head back North but I'm back again in 8 months time and Stoneybrook West will be an absolute go too course. Thank you again to Chris and George and Stoneybrook West! Martin

I must say I am so happy I came back to Stoneybrook this year to see all the changes of less bunkers and how amazing the greens were. Spectacular condition and lightning quick. Fairways were in great condition. I've seen in I think review someone speak of weeds growing. Then I would suggest stay out if the rough because that's the only place weeds are growing no worse than when the rough is in dormant conditions. The course is spending quality time and effort to ensure the greens are great and the fairways are great as well as tee boxes. That is exactly what you want. The conditions around each green and leading up to the green are in great condition. Stoneybrook should be proud in what they've accomplished since last year when under Reno. The removal of a lot of the bunkers has made it a much more playable and friendly course. I'm just sorry it took me til April to get back. But I will be back next week. Had to book another round there. Love the course.! Congrats on the conditions! If individuals are commenting on weeds then they're playing most of there round in the rough! Lol! I suggest stay in the fairway. Best Greens by far that I've played in the last 4 months here! Keep up the incredible work.

The greens were in fantastic condition! Fairways a little dried out but very playable. Overall course in very good condition, have played here numerous times. Speed of play on this day very fast. Under 3 hours. Excellent!

Course was in decent condition considering the 3 weeks of cold temperatures which took its toll on the fairways and rough. Fairways were still playable and were light green to brownish but grass versus what could be less. The tee boxes were in great shape all green so they were seeded and the greens were in very decent shape. Overall for the value a good fun course to always play. I've played this course many times and have played it in great condition and very poor condition. As mentioned right now considering it's very playable. Would play again as its a great value. The fairways will green up as the days warm. The rough will take some time. If you're expecting pure green conditions tee to green the unfortunately you would have to spend more than double and go play the premiums which top seed all year.

This is a course that while being down through the winter months I always try to play at least 3-5 times! In all fairness to the course this year because of the extreme cooler weather in Central Florida for the first 2 weeks of January you knew that the rough and fairways would be a little dormant or dried out ! Expected and if other reviewers are rating it poor for that then they really don't understand what cold weather can do to Florida courses and Bermuda Grass! Overall the fairways considering we're still decent and very playable. The greens were in great condition! It is such a fun course to play and has one of the best layouts you'll find. As it warms the grass will come back nicely. No worries. Still one of my favorite courses to play because it's challenging hole to hole. Hard to find another course similar to this in Florida! Reasonable rates currently through Golfnow so it's always worth playing! Will be playing it again soon!

Nice to be back in Orlando playing Providence again. Always look forward to playing here while I spend my winters here! Definately one of my all time favorite courses in the Greater Orlando Area. It's been a very cold first week of January so all the courses have suffered a little bit but overall the course is always in good to great shape. Looking forward to playing here a few more times before I head back north end of April!

Normally when down for the Winter months I always try to get a game in at Orange County National but when you're here for 4 months and you want to play as much golf as you can within a budget this Course is almost impossible to afford! Especially as a non resident of Florida or an Orange County Resident! The prices for non resident are just so high for non residents in the months of January through April you have to just wait it out to see if you can finally get a hot deal through Golf Now just to get the chance to play it! I do think it is a little unfair their pricing through those months knowing that the State is loaded with non residents! That is the only negative! I had to get that in so with that being said! This is a spectacular facility that I wish I could play so more often when here! Fairways and greens superb! Service superb! Outstanding golf course period! It's a must play in Orlando! Well maintained and just a joy to play! I just wish knowing how many visitors are here during the winter months you would help out the Non residents. Even if you had a non resident day a week with special pricing so us snowbirds could afford to play more than once! Thanks though for a fantastic round of golf! 5 STAR all the way!
P.S. Hopefully you'll help out us non residents next year when I'm back down January through April!

Course was in Magnifecent condition from tee to greens! I love playing this golf course and you don't have to pay Premium rates to play what I consider a Premium Course! Played twice in January and now once in April and considering how dry Florida has been this Winter the Course was impeccable in condition. Beautiful as always! The scenery is fantastic and if you wanting see Florida Gators then this is one course you will get your fill of view! I've played over 30 rounds down here this Winter and many different courses and this course condition wise is considered one of the best by far! Kudos to the groundskeepers and maintenance staff. You've done a fantastic Job!! Thanks for a great Winter Season and see you again in January!! 5 STAR all the way!!

This course has one of the best layouts you'd want to play. Plenty of bunkers and every hole 1-18 is a challenge! The course has come a long way under new ownership and maintenance! 4 months ago this course was almost unplayable but you can clearly see the changes that are happening and the care they are starting to put into this Golf Course! It's so nice to see that they are trying to bring this course back to what could be one of the best courses around! If you've played this course in the past meaning 4 months ago or longer the difference today is night and day! With what is happening there now this course I believe will be always a must play in the future! Good work, keep it up!

Always love playing Harmony even though it's a bit of a distance from my Villa but will always get there at least once a year! Course is always a pleasure to play. We're treated great from bag drop to check in to end of round! The course has taken out some bunkers and the course was re done since I played last March. I'm sure the conditions in January and February were spectacular but due to such a hot hot winter here and such dry conditions throughout all of Florida all courses are looking a little dry in March and to no fault of the courses! Overall it was still in very good condition but clear that the weather has taken its toll on the fairways and greens. I'm still glad I played it as always. Next year though I'll be sure to play in January though if they're expecting hotter than normal conditions like this winter! Love the course! Don't get me wrong. The course was still in great shape but I have believe in January it was likely pristine!! See ya next year! Thanks

After so many years finally decided to give Remington a go and it's a very decent course to play. Water pretty well on every hole but as long as your straight or just off Centre you can avoid it! The course is a great layout and even though lots of water it's very golfer friendly of all levels! Greens were decent! Not great great but not Bad. They were good! Fairway was in decent shape but wet only because of the storm the night and day before so a lot of dampness but not wet that it made it difficult. For the money it's a fun and good course to play. We played in about 4.5 hours so not too bad! Worth playing!! If you're expecting premium course conditions then you need to unfortunately pay a lot more money to get that. If you have a budget and looking to stay in line with costs then this is great for the value! I think most golfers will enjoy this course plus you get a great day of planes overhead landing at MCO all day!!

3rd round so far this Winter at Sanctuary and can always say this is one of the courses I enjoy playing the most of all Central Florida courses, One because of its Great Layout and Two, the value of your dollar to play here. Staff is always a pleasure and Friendly. Yesterdays round was a little slow and almost took 5 hours but that can be expected on a Friday and a Later tee time when the course was fully booked until 2:54 pm so slow play was expected on this day but normally it's a 4 hour round. Greens are in Great Condition!! If you enjoy scenery and Hills, then this is a Great Course to try. Every Hole is different and challenging. Lots of Sand but can be avoided with smart play!! GREAT GOLF COURSE as Always!!!!

Tried this course for the first time and must say its a great little track! It's a short layout but very tight layout. Only plays 6,000 from the back and 5,500 from the middle but don't let the yardage fool you! Can play tough if your not straight! Great for the money and nice area! Worth a try and would play again now that I'm familiar with the course a bit!

First time ever in 8 years that I have played this Course and I'm sad that it took me this long to go and play it! Played Cypress and found it to be very picturesque and overall just a treat to play. Conditions were good, greens were decent to good! One of the better conditioned courses by far this season! Would love now to go back and play the Oaks! The community in Solivita is beautiful! Course is a little out of the way depending where you are but well worth the drive to play especially if you are able to score a Hot Deal. The pace wasn't bad. Waited a bit on most tees but still played in 4 hours 20 minutes so pretty decent! FYI you should definately see Gators on this course! They are visible! Staff at the course is exceptional! Great Staff!

I last played here in March of 2013 and then I swore I would never play this course again. Since then I heard of new ownership and constant emails encouraging golfers to come back now that it was under new ownership and changed Name. Very disappointed in this course again!! I can honestly say that nothing has changed from 3 years ago. I'm not sure what or anything has changed. That saddest part this time was the greens. They were Not Greens! They were growing, they were dead and burnt and some you'd swear you were in a bunker!! I have never in all my years of golf played greens so poorly maintained. Sad part is they don't even let you know how poor they are! You look forward to putting on the greens but these were un puttable. This time I guarantee I will never return to this golf course. I gave it a second chance after three years and the course is worse than it was before. Never thought I'd say that. They need to close it down for at least 6 months and completely re do every single green and revamp the entire course. I don't see this course lasting much longer if they don't put some money into it and make you want to play it! I can understand why the rates are so cheap but even at the price you're paying it is just not worth it when you can play so many other Orlando courses in the similar price range and a far better experience!

Always enjoy Playing Banty's because it's extremely close to home and very reasonably priced versus other courses. Great course for all levels of golfers and offers 3 9's which is always a nice feature. Course was in Good condition for this early in the season, greens were getting better but in decent enough condition. You can play this course usually in less than 4 hours which is great, even when groups on the course in front or behind you can still play in under 4 hours on most days. Fun course to golf!!

Loved this Golf Course and Conditions for early May after such an awful winter were excellent. No Complaints about the condition of the course. I can picture this course in June July being in Unbelievable condition. Clubhouse is Beautiful. Very Friendly from start to finish from check in to the Cart personel to the Starter. I would definitely Play this Course again, worth the Hour drive from my Residence. Value was Great through a Golfnow Booking. My Father is Elderly and Handicap and NO Problem getting a Flag for allowance closer to the Greens. Thank You for a Great Day!!!
