Nice change!

Just got back in town after a couple of months chasing cherry blossoms in Asia and played one of the fastest round (2 1/2 hrs) with a visitor from Tx. The fairway is in good shape, the greens are true, and the bunkers are looking good, and pace of play was excellent. The only gripe is that while the course was pretty wide open around noon, the pro shop did not allow us 2-some to start earlier due to GolfNow hot deal reservation. However with 2 1/2 hours pace for 18 holes no complaints from us. Overall, the course layout since new homes are being built are looking good and it was definitely an enjoyable practice round before FSGA and GC AM Tour events next week. Will definitely play a few more rounds before our next trekking destination.

Always in excellent condition tee to green

Paired up with 2 newly minted golfers did their best to keep up and the pace of play was slow. The course was in top condition especially around the greens. Overall had a nice time and took time to work on approach shots and had a nice time

Eagle Creek is majestic once more

Been coming down here on regular basis for the past 4 years. While here I reside in Eagle Creek and have not played EC since major-construction started 8 months ago, leaving most of back nine unplayable. Had a chance to check out the golf course yesterday since all the construction started: Lo & behold, renovations of the golf course bunkers and layout has made playing at EC so much more enjoyable and now looking more majestic than before. Will definitely play more which saves driving time and no longer reasons to play elsewhere when a quality course is in right in my back yard.

Well done EC Team

I want more please!

Shared morning tee time with a low handicap and since there were just 2 of us, we played in less than 4 hrs and condition and pace of play was great which helped with low score. This golf course is one of the best maintained courses in Orlando. Always a charm to play here and definitely coming back for more.

Another wonderful golfing day

Had early morning tee time and highly recommended this time of the year to escape both the heat and afternoon rain. Played with two local residences and we had a great time with both game skill and pace of play. As always, this place do not disappoint and I would have booked spa & sauna treatment after golf if it was not for a prior engagement. Highly recommended for golf, good eats, and great spa treatment.

Good course but housing construction and wet conditions made this course almost unplayable

First, I have played this course many times and live in the community so I tend to be favorably biased about Eagle Creek. However, after 4 days of golf at other resort courses and then decided to play my last round at my home course before heading back to Minnesota for the summer. I was disappointed with the heavy construction on the back-nine along with the wet conditions of the course making bunker play and fairways unplayable. Given the conditions, and off seasons, I would not recommend playing here at least until the course until the peak golf season when the course is back to better conditions.

Challenging course with lots of water hazards.

have not played here in over a year and now I know why: if you like water hazards on just about every hole then challenge yourself at Hawk’s Landing. This is not an easy course with tight lies, undulating greens & fairways, and lots of water hazards. Course was in great conditions even if it was raining and soggy all week.

Another great golfing day

After got rained out the last few days at nearby courses I decided to booked an early tee time and played at North/South course to beat the afternoon storm and was able to complete 18 holes. Course was in great shape and pace of play was average. Had fun with our group we even chased off a couple of snakes thinking our ball were bird’s egg (no gators seen). Plan to book early tee times on GolfNow the next few days before heading back up North.

another great round albeit hot & humid

First round after flew in last night. Followed family of 3-some but they played at good pace. It was a hot & humid day (no surprise here) but shot a great score until the last 2 holes when the storm brought heavy rain so gave self bogies but still shot mid 80s so no complaint. The down side is lost favorite hat while trying to beat the storm I had purchased in Cesky Krumlov so hopefully someone will return it. Overall always enjoy both National and International courses.

Hole in one!

Since I live here, I play this course often and normally receive positive comments regarding the course. Today, I our foursome, my playing partner made a hole in one at hole 17th (Playing 16th - 18th is a great way to end a round at EC). Here’s The kicker: Kerry (playing partner) bought a $5.00 ticket for a chance at hole in one at 17th. Additionally, he purchased another ticket for additional chances hole in one at the tee ( to benefit veterans). Needless to say, my playing partner having played at the course for the first time, rolled in for hole in one and ended up winning $20,000.00 total. What an amazing day

Played with senior members and had a great time

On a lark, I decided to come and see Tiger Woods to see if he would make the cut on Friday. Got lucky and got last minute room at PGA National Resort. Played with 2 brothers (88 & 92). All I can say is that when I get to be 90, I want to be able to play like the two gentlemen I met. It was a fun day and the course was easy to navigate.

The course was windy when we played and was hard to play but we had a nice round. Always in great condition and as expected from a nice resort course.

Early bird catches worm

We had tee time @ 8;30am and it was a perfect Saturday with no one in front or behind. We took time enjoying the beauty of the course layout and had a great round using Taylormade TP5 ball for the first time. My playing partner is signing up for resorts membership so looks like we will be returning for more. Highly recommended.

Worth the drive from Lake Nona

the course is about 50 miles out but definitely worth the drive. Course it great shape and challenging layout. The 17th hole was not only the #1 handicap but also the prettiest of all 18th holes. After golf, I spent the rest of the day at Winter Garden Plant Street Market for wonderful craft beer at Crooked Can and sushi at Jōdo and even bought artisan chocolate for the better half upon return home (Happy wife Happy life). @treksense

Played with European PGA pro

Was paired up with Luke Fitzpatrick and had a fun round watching him drove the par 4s green a couple of times. The course is is fairly good shape and given this is busy season with snowbirds (me being one lol), it was fairly quick round. Played here several times and can honestly said the course never disappoint. @treksense

Spunky 9 holes

Had a short and quick round with a nice couple from MA. Haven't played since last round at TPC Sawgrass before Christmas and after a kayak injury in the Bahamas. Surprisingly, it was a good round and pace of play was excellent due to colder weather and the course was in fairly good conditions.
