A New Course to Play

First time at North Shore GC. A good mix of links and semi-parkland holes. Both nines start and finish at the Clubhouse Hotel. Greens were true and slick, the Pro was welcoming and friendly. Staff in the Clubhouse were similar. Definitely recommend. Given the chance we will return.

A Classy Course

As first timers at Eagle Creek it was a joy to play. So okay the pace was a little slow but there had been a competition on prior to our round so four balls all putting out will take time. That was more than compensated for by the experience. The tees were smart, the fairways immaculate, like carpet and the greens true and fast. Best course we've played whilst we've been here considering the drought conditions Florida is experiencing. Great fun day out. 5*.

Great Afternoon Round

With the ease we had in finding the course after not having played for some years coupled with the welcome we received, Kissimmee started well and didn't disappoint at all. The fairways, considering the drought conditions Florida is experiencing, were in really good shape and the greens were fair and true. All in all a great round and would recommend to anyone wanting a guaranteed quality round of golf.

A Different Experience

Obviously as it was our first time playing any of the Grenlefe courses we didn't know what to expect. Considering here we are in Florida the course was empty! Okay like all Florida courses at the moment experiencing gross drought conditions, I'm sure the fairways and tees could have been better but the greens putted well and the overall round was very very enjoyable. We would have liked a coffee beforehand but the bar didn't open till noon. Hey we enjoyed it and for the money it was superb. It might be a drive out of Orlando, but it's worth it!

A very nice surprise

We didn't really didn't know what to expect but there was nothing to worry about. The welcome was good and the course was well laid out and in good condition considering the length of time the area has gone without rain. The diversity of hole design was superb with a different shot required every time. Really enjoyable and excellent value for money. 5 ✨

It was Great to return

I've played Bedale quite a few times over the years but never written a review. I feel its now the time. Every time I return I realise just how good the layout is with its variation of holes and I must say its condition never disappoints. From the 1st, at less than 300yrds, it still needs care to avoid the pond on the left of the fairway and the trees on the right to the excellent 13th with its natural water and MacKenzie green, the course is interesting all the way round. To follow that the welcome in the clubhouse with the excellent food and choice of beers there can be no better way to finish a round. I will return again.

Very Enjoyable

Being able to take advantage of a "Hot Deal" made the experience even better. Well laid out, fairways fine and although the winter has not been good to them the greens putted well. Staff very helpful and friendly and the members we encounted very welcoming.

Interesting and very Chalenging.

Different layout to most Florida courses but very good. Fairways were enjoyable to play off and the greens were fast and true. What more do you want from a course? Only comment we would make is considering how many players were still on the course and cars in the lot, why was the clubhouse closed at 18.10? Part of any round is the 19th and for such a large opperation we found it quite strange. We stopped on the way home.

You won't get a better round for your Green Fee!

Made up of 3 nines, Red, White and Blue, Royal St. Cloud is well laid out, well maintained and a joy to play. Using Golfnow website, We initially booked for the 18th only to get an email confirmation from R.S.C. for the 25th? Considering our options we decided to call the Pro Shop and within minutes staff put it right, irrispective of where the fault or blame lie. So the Staff get 5 Stars as well! Fairways immaculate bunkers tidy and the greens slick and true. The unprepared pitch marks, were the only blemish, and that's our fellow golfers letting us all down, not the Green Keepers. We felt the "One Rate for All" is a fine initiative, great idea and from a business perspective, it must keep it a steady flow without peaks and troughs. Overall a great experience with fantastic value. We played White and Blue and we will return to experience Red later this week. Well done RSC, love it!

Following in the LPGA's Footsteps.

We played as a mixed 4 Ball. After watching the Ladies on TV play it just a couple of weeks before, we thought now we had the chance we should try it. Our Ladies played from the Silver tees and we played from the Blacks. Not so easy but very enjoyable also very challenging. A great mix of holes although we felt the par 3's especially hard from the back tees over water, but that was our choice and we had to live with it. Overall a great experience and we would recommend using GolfNow to get the tee time you want at the best price. 5 Star.

Walking in famous footsteps

Through our own ignorance we had not realised the stature of Indian Canyons before we arrived. To think so many Hollywood stars had lived and played there over the years was amazing. Walt Disney had donated the signature fountain on the lake by the clubhouse, Frank Sinatra had held five Invitation Tournaments there. The list went on and photos all around the Clubhouse reflect this. The course was in excellent condition and a joy to play. the Staff could not do enough to make us welcome. Great course with great history. A must to play.

What a Joy to play

Wow this is a great course! Not the hardest or the longest but for our mixed 4 just perfect. Our Ladies loved it! Very unique lay out but so very interesting. Not the longest course but as Bing and Bob liked to boast "It went straight down the middle" and that's where it has to be if you want results because its tight!. Great course, cant wait to return.

A relatively new but mature course.

Beautifully presented with generous fairways and tricky greens. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and all its features. Recommended 5 Stars.

Damp but not dreary

What a welcome we received, very warm and witty. Staff could not have been better. A large group were due to tee off before our four-ball so the starter offered us the tee before them to allow us to "get away". Nice thought. Although the course had been recently over-seeded and it rained for most of the round, this did not detract from the experience. Super layout with memorable holes with fast and true greens. The only disappointment was for the second time on this trip a wedding party at the club house prevented us from getting a meal following a round but we understand income is income and our four meals would not have competed with with a wedding breakfast.

Super Day Out

Great layout with memorable holes. A great mix of long and short holes with great undulations and views around the lake. Greens were in great condition compared with others in the area undergoing overseeing. Will endeavour to return ASAP.
