Falcons Fire is always on our Florida rotation of courses. It is constantly in decent shape for this time of year. The course layout provides for a smooth, steady game - no long rides through condo complexes or along neighborhood streets. It’s challenging yet fair. Today was the first time I played it without a 10-15 mph wind ! There’s usually a par 3 chaAllende for some worthy charity that gives you pro shop credits just for playing, let alone hitting the green or getting an ace. Dining facility has decent menu and refreshing drinks. Al around great deal

Course conditions poor but staff says upgrades are forthcoming. Greens in good shape but fairways are terrible., front nine worse then back. Great layout and plenty of fun for the money

I’ve played this excellent championship course many times and it’s always been a pleasure until today. There was a demo day going on and the course did not reserve parking for the paying customers. This meant finding parking off site and being shuttled or a long walk back to the course. Their attitude did not help matters as they were no at all sympathetic to our plight. For $125 they should have notified us upfront when making tee times that this would be an exceptionally busy and hectic day. To boot, there was a foursome in front of us that were playing the wrong tees and could barely reach the next set of tees at times. The round took 4 hours 45 minutes besides the 15-20 ride/walk to retrieve the car! Totally unacceptable customer service.

Eagle Creek is a great facility. Close to the airport, it’s always on our rotation, usually the first (right from airport to course) or our last before flying out. The locker room provides a shower and amenities for a fresh getaway! The restaurant provides adequate nourishment after the round and the snack shop provides a quick bite to eat either before your round or between nines. My only issue is the pace of play. The day we played this year they had an outing right ahead of us with many non-golfers so the pace was horrible. Luckily the weather was great and we enjoyed every minute. I was amazed at the continued development around the course. It doesn’t intrude but I’ve watched the development grow over the years, making some holes on the back nine almost unrecognizable!

Hunters creek used to be a wonderful corse to play. The layout is wonderful with ample choices for course length. A fair yet challenging layout. However, the course maintenance has suffered lately. The greens are about the worst I’ve played in Florida, some even had GUR signs on portions! It’s a shame this venerable old Florida course has gone so far down hill. Hopefully the management will try to bring it back to its old condition

Metrowest is an older style Florida course. With a great layout and design that’s a little frayed around the edges. Maybe one of the best values in Orlando, the management has scaled back the clubhouse amenities but if you’re looking for a fair test of golf at the most reasonable prices, Metrowest is your course

Grand Cypress New is a must if you’re in the Orlando area. This homage to The Old Course winds through the property with plenty to remind you of Scotland. From the replica of the Seilcan bridge to the burn running across #1, 8, and 10, to bunker and the Principals Nose, you’ll harken back to the most revered golf in the world. Course amenities are top notch with a pleasant, attentive staff. Pay the price. You won’t be disappointed

Besides the closeness to the airport, which allows you to get on the course an hour or less after stepping off the plane, Eagle Creek is always a bargain. Fast greens can be scary but they run true. The course used to be a trek through the wild but it’s in the path of progress and the houses contyto encroach on the course. Only a few holes on the back remain wild, and those had flagged stakes up this time around. The design is delightful, challenging and meandering through typical Florida terrain. It’s been our favorite on days of coming and going

I’ve played Shingle Creek off and on for 10 years and always enjoyed the experience. The recent renovations and rerouting have both positive and negative effects on the course. Several good holes were eliminated the front and the reworking on the back also eliminated a beautiful long par 5. The replacement holes are adequate and growing in nicely. I was glad to see the last 3 holes fairly intact. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and attentive.

Eagle Creek is a wonderful course with a fantastic layout. Conditions are usually top notch. It's close to the airport so it's a great 1st day play after getting off the plane or get-awaround on your way home! Greens are fast, smooth and can be tricky depending upon pin placements. I always try to play eagle Creek when in Orlando!

A little rough around the edges but a great value. The layout wanders around and has a good variety of holes and requires every club in the bag. The front 9 is a little beat/worn but it was late summer. Will probably return in January because it's a Fanta value.

Love the layout, but it always beats me up! Awfully wet after storm the previous night. Bunker full of water and fairways super wet. Went in for drink/lunch but there was only 1 waitress who was overwhelmed. I finally left without even being handed a menu. Golf staff super friendly tho.

Panther Lake is always on my playlist when I'm in the area. Always in great shape, a wonderful layout, and a great challenge all in one. Site of Q-school finals, it has a huge practice facility. I've found there's almost always sales on clothing and hats (got 2 for price of 1). Restaurant has good selection of "golf" beers and food.

Unfortunately the greens had been aerated a week or so before and hadn't quite healed yet, making putting a challenge. Great facility though. Love playing every chance I get. Still prefer panther lake though.

Course was in great shape. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Just wish they kept the old layout. 18th used to be great finishing hole. Additional par 3 just doesn't provide same finishing sequence of final 3 holes. Great value tho
