Must play once

This is a must play for central florida. The fairways are wide, well placed bunkering and greens that I three putt all the time. These greens are tough to learn. The speed is very fast and must be below the hole on every green. It's worth the drive from Orlando if your on vacation.

Locally Great

This reminds me of anyone's home course. This is a great layout and there are some really good holes. Some very deep bunkers with good white sand. Royal St. Cloud was a great golf experience. If visiting the parks make the drive to St. Cloud, you won't be disappointed. Greens were in good condition and very undulating.

Over played

This is a good layout but these courses are over played. Don't know why they let outside play. The greens were beat up. It's a retirement community so the play is very slow.

Windy and tuff

This is a great golf course. The layout is one of the best in Orlando. The fairways are wide and bunker lined on most holes. The sand is white and thick, best bunkers in Orlando. And the greens are undulating, pay attention to pin placement. You don't want a 20 yard putt with three breaks. All around a great track with excellent conditions.

What happened

This golf course was one of the best in the area. The greens are turning into dirt. Looks like they are having a hard time growing grass on the greens. The golf course layout is good, it's just the conditions. Have to say disappointed with the greens.

Old but good

This is an old but good layout. The holes are routed through old tall pines. Fairways are in good shape and greens were good. Even with a tournament in front of us we made good time.

Sunshine & Good company

This golf course has wide fairways And some very deep bunkers. Keep the ball in the fairway and you will always have a look at the green. Greens are perched up with some run off areas. Greens are in ok shape, there was a lot of play so I expected that. This is a must Orlando play.

Stormy

The staff really came together and overcame some really bad weather. After the weather came through they sent everybody off the 1st and 10th tees. Great job!!! After the weather the course was a little wet and cart path only but a great day and great course, that's why I play it every year. Great practice facility with small targets in a water driving range.

Out Dated

Where to start. They need to put money into this course. The tee boxes need more see. Fairways need more seed. Need more sand in bunkers. This whole golf course needs a rehab. It could be a nice place. I have to say the cart guy named Vee made my day . Got me all setup and even drove me over to the first tee. That's class.

take two

I played both in one day, both courses are in great shape and very challenging even for the pro. Every golfer can play here due to different sets of tees for your ability. Pace of play slowed down at the end of the day but that was expected. If you are able to play these two gems make the trip you won't be disappointed.

Foggy

Played when I could barley see the 150 yard markers from tees. Par fives forget it aim and let it fly. What can I say about this golf course, it has only gotten better with time. I gave 3 stars for food cause I only had coffee and something from cart girl. This is a must play for everyone coming to the Orlando area. If it is a little bit of a drive, take the drive you won't be disappointed.

Amazing scenery

This golf course is right in front of you. Wide fairways and medium sized greens. Even bunkers were raked. Greens need a little work, I have heard this course is not what it used to be, if that is true this course must have been pristine because overall it was worth the ride from orlando. I would love to retire here. Owner needs to develop townhouses and bring the price of homes a little cheaper than $199,000. This one is well worth the ride.

typical resort

This is typical resort. You have a very good course then you have the little brother course that costs less and is not very well taken care of, still I have to say I play it every year and for some reason I really enjoy it. Course needs more care and greens need work. Golfnow has some great deals for this course, it's a good value if your looking for a really good hot deal.

Resort

Good resort course, greens needed some work and fairways were pretty decent. Very good value from golf now. The pace of play was terrible. Champions gate should not let there teachers back up the golf course. Take students out at the end of the day.

Needs Work

The greens need work and the rough in certain areas is not cut. Tee boxes are not level and and barely have grass. In this area I expected a little more out of this place. I played back in 2011 and it was a little better back then but still not in my top 25 for this area. So many other good courses in the area for same money.

Carolinas in Florida

The course is all right in front of you. It played long from the tips because it was raining on and off. Greens are tough , need to get ball on right section of green or your looking at a three putt. Never been to Florida golf course with this much elevation. The views are outstanding. Great value on golfnow.

WINDY

Very good golf course in general. You have to get to know the greens here because there are a lot of down slopes that your ball will hit and bounce in a chipping area. Very fast greens, this time of year there a little beat up but that is expected. Fairways were in great shape. Views at this golf course are great, it makes me forget where I am when I play here. The wind was terrible 30 mph. 2-3 club difference still was a good day. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Can't beat it

This golf course is the best around the area. The grounds crew has done a tremendous job with the course. Very good conditioning, and a great layout, beginners will think it's tough. Must play a few times to pick your sight lines off the tee. Some approach shots need an extra club because the terrain has a slight elevation change. Overall can't beat it at the price.
