Fun course layout

Outside of Orlando and Tampa, Sherman Hills is a well-laid out, fun neighborhood course. Overall the course to me was probably in about an 8/10. Front 9 was fairly easy, back nine a little bit more difficult. Time on course was good for a 12pm or so tee time, couple of groups let me play through as a single, then paired up with a couple and played the rest. This is a good value course, with some nice course details that set it apart-not just a flat, up and down layout.

Great track, challenging

Track had just reopened and was in great shape. Greens were tricky, very nice but not as fast as they looked. Included range balls, and staff was friendly. Bring your A game cause this course is harder than International.

GREAT VALUE!

Played later on a Sunday morning, no problem being a few minutes late. No beverage cart. Course was in very good condition for the price, very happy with the value. Some of the greens have some damage from disease, but didn't affect my play. Lots of water, so bring extra balls if you hit an errant shot or two.

Nice layout-a bit wet

Played on a Saturday, early tee meant that there was 1 group ahead. As a single, used to waiting, but it went quickly. Course was VERY wet. Most of the fairways should have been 90 degree or cart path only. Decent layout, some tricky water locations, and narrow tees. Significant overgrowth on the rough-and they were mowing on a Saturday. This was all probably due to heavy rains, but I would avoid this course next time if it is this wet. Good value at $25, but not worth much more than that. Greens were slow, but in good condition, soft.

Be ready to deal with the hills

Good course, many holes require you to shape your shots around the hills. If you have a certain shot that doesn't go with the hole-you will struggle. Greens were good, about medium speed. Got out quick, paired with a double. Average round speed-due to me having to look for a couple of errant shots. Some of the carts paths were a bit bumpy, but no real complaints. I'd play again.

Overall fun course

Course was definitely a challenge-shots needed to be shaped correctly. Paired up with a couple other singles, my playing partners were more beginners, so the round was a bit long. The place to eat food after the round was outside, so no relief from the heat. Staff was fine, great views of the Hudson.

Two courses

Had a nice round, starter let me go a bit early. Enjoyed the variations on this course where front 9 is totally different than back 9. After round owner greeted me and asked how my round was, and made friendly conversation. Some of the greens needed some work but overall a great value. One of the houses even put out found balls with a “free” sign on them. Cool

Hilly and Fun

Can't say enough nice things about this course. The starter was very friendly, let me go out first as a single. Weather looked ominous, but avoided the later arriving rain. Course has plenty of hilly terrain, and wooded areas bordering the fairways. Some houses, but they were set pretty far back. Fairways, tee boxes and greens were all in excellent shape. You have to get the right second shot-some of the greens are pretty well elevated. I would play here again, anytime. Drove from Little Rock since the ratings were better than others. Finished my round in 2 hours 5 minutes. Gave 2 balls to the woods.

Excellent Course, Value

Always a fun, challenging course, El Campeon is simply one of my favorites in the Orlando area. I've played 90% of the courses within 100 miles, and the layout, condition, price and people are always top notch. Some of the course was wet, and under repair, but it did not impact playability. This course can go LONG, so don't be afraid to play up a set. DON"T MISS EL CAMPEON!

One of the best in Central FL

Great course that will test you, with multiple greens across water, and nice hill features. Greens were soft, but fast. 3 some ahead of me was a bit slow, but allowed me to play through. For $40, this is one of the best values in central fl. Any price below $50 is worth it.

Bring your straight shots!

Great course, greens were very nice. Better be accurate on first and second shots, because you will find water!

Course is a challenge-very quiet, decently well kept, friendly staff.

Not knowing this course, made everything a bit more challenging. Some blind approaches, and amazing elevation changes, kept our entire group busy figuring out the next shot. Definitely will play again, a bit out there from Orlando. Worth the drive.
