Uphill in the snow BOTH WAYS

Uphill, uphill, uphill. Wow, very unique course for Florida, even the downhill tee shots hit an uphill fairway. extremely interesting course layout, great condition. I wouldn't want to pay 120 for a round, but with a little hot deal action you cannot be mad about this. You will not be bored by this layout.

Already Great and Still Getting Better

Love this course, only issues there ever were pace of play and condition of greens. Both issues have been fixed by the City of Winter Park ownership. On top of that they seem to be constantly improving the facility. The GPS carts are a little finicky, but I imagine that can be dialed in with time. Great course.

Never A Bad Time

Anytime I don't have time for 18 holes or want to get out as a single this is my go to. Always a great experience, almost never get paired with a freak, even in less than perfect weather the course is a gem. Only knock is it can be very difficult to get an early tee time, especially on GolfNow. Other than that no complaints,

S-L-O-W Slow

Could be a nice place, but needs a little better management i believe. Clubhouse guy told me just to go tee off whenever which should have been a bad sign. I expected as a single i was going to catch up to a group, but not 3 groups on one hole, pass them, 2 more on one hole, pass them 3 more groups. My round was at noon and 4 times i had to wait on the grounds crew to clear out. I played about 10 holes and got out. if the course was amazing it might be worth the wait, but being average it might be my last visit.

First Class Operation

Now this is what I am talking about. Staff was out of this world friendly, from the grounds people, to the pro shop, to the restaurant staff, the starter, literally everyone provided next level service. Greens were great, overall condition great. Course was busy but still got the round in right at 4 hours. It isn't the cheapest course in the area, but you get what you pay for and I would consider this a great value. Will be back for sure.

Great Pace, Great Greens

Played on Friday so might not be the same on a weekend, but the pace of play was as good for the money as I have experienced recently in the area. Great round, the greens were in fantastic shape although not very fast. Staff was very helpful and pro shop was very well stocked. Will definitely be back.

Super hot deal you'll love it, but full price not so much

Played with a couple regulars that seemed to keep coming back so take that for what it is worth. If this was in my neighborhood i would have no problem ripping it every few weekends, but the short drive from downtown orlando and the average overall course/conditions are enough to make me look elsewhere. not bad, nothing special, get it on a deal with some buddies and you'll have a good time. Looking for a value "Nice" course, this ain't it.

Fun change of pace, just a little boring to play often

Was just looking to play something new in the area that I have never played before and the hot deal on this fit the bill. Pace of play was fine, clubhouse and range scenario is super confusing but got it figured out. A few very cool holes but mostly bland layout. Conditions weren't bad, the cheap price for the hot deal around 40 bucks seems right. Wouldn't mind playing again but wouldn't be my first choice.

Great round, deceptively tuff course

maybe it is the very real thread of sending one OB and clanking an Audi, but this relatively simple and short 9 hole plays much more tough. Pace of play was acceptable, the price is right, conditions are nice. I only wish i could string together 9 good holes to make a proper score. I'll keep coming back for sure.

Would Rather Pay More

Course I have played dozens of times, great value, possibly too good. Pace of play was painful, Starter lady on the microphone is nice, but clueless. Standing on the first tee with 2 groups still on the first hole in front of you with a group already behind you sucks, you know its gonna be a long day. Would gladly pay more to be able to get a round in under 5 hours. I understand its tough to keep these courses going, might be time to up the price and ease up on cramming groups out there. Side note: Get rid of the red range balls, they are like rocks.

Course In Great Condition, But JAMMED up

Course looked great, greens were particularly nice, Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, but man was it backed up. There was no reason for it either, all good players keeping pace, we were just sent to the first tee with 2 groups waiting. in front of us. I will definitely think twice before booking again, don't always want to burn 6 hours.

Fun Simple Course

I play here often, the pace of play is either perfect or a mini trainwreck, but it is good more than it is bad. All the people i have been paired with have always been cool. The only real downside to Winter Pines is the greens, they just can't get them right. Every single one is a different level of repair, and seems like a different grass. Fix that and i'd say its 4.5 stars.
