What a great round!

I am not sure why the reviews below are so tough on the course. I thought it was great. The greens were miscolored and bare in some spots, but they rolled great. The clubhouse was nice and even has a pool table for you to play a few games against your buddies. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Sure the course had a few spots that were bare, but it happens. It didn't take away from the experience of the round. Highly recommend checking it out. Will definitely be back!

One of my favorite courses to play outside of Orlando. The staff is great and the course is always in great shape. I highly recommend checking out the Cypress course if you are looking for a firm but fair test of golf! Great practice facility as well.

A True Test of Golf

I have played at Mission Inn several times. This is a true test of golf. There is plenty of undulation on this course which is atypical of Florida golf. I have improved each round I have played here, but haven't scored as well as I would like. The course is in fantastic shape. The biggest emphasis is putting the ball in the fairway off the tee. The practice facility is excellent and the staff was great too! We saw the beverage cart at least four times during our round. Highly recommend checking out Mission Inn if you have never been!

First time at Saddlebrook

From the moment I drove in, I was hooked. This was a first-class experience. The practice facility was exceptional, you could practice every shot imaginable. The staff was a pleasure all day ranging from the Valet to the pro shop to the starter. Everyone was very warm and welcoming. The course was in great shape as well. You didn't want to miss on the wrong side of the hole or else you would be scrambling for a par! Once you get through the first handful of holes, it gets a little bit easier. Having played the course once, I would have played a few of the holes slightly different to put myself in a better position. A must check out if you are in the area. You won't regret it!

Truly A Great Experience

From the moment I walked into the clubhouse, the experience was top notch. The practice facility was in great shape and the greens were rolling quite nicely. The greens had some subtleties that would take a few rounds to get used to. Make sure you are on the right side of the hole. Also look at your putts from every side! The course conditions were second to none. The closing stretch of the "loop" was incredible. Make sure to bring your "A" game as the course is challenging, but it is very fair. If you course manage your way around, you can have a great day. The staff was great from the moment I walked into the shop, to meeting the head pro, to having brunch inside. A very memorable round and I look forward to going back and playing any chance I get. Highly recommend playing here if given the chance.

Sunday Scramble

It was one of the colder days in recent memory. The course was in pretty good shape. The pace of play was great too. My only complaint is the green speeds are always very slow. Staff inside is very nice and the lunch combo for $5 is unbeatable.

Fog Delay

It was a very Foggy day and we teed off on the first hole without being able to see anything. The range went up and made sure it was clear for us to hit prior to us teeing off, but the first few holes were covered in fog. The course was in pretty good shape, the greens rolled very nicely, which is what matters most to me. I always enjoy coming out here as the staff is very nice and the pace of play is typically enjoyable. Although this round took slightly longer than I would have liked. Playing it again this weekend! Can't go wrong for the value.

Unique Experience

I had never played night golf until last night. This was truly a unique and fun experience. I had no idea what to expect coming into this round. You will have a hard time believe the yardage because your depth perception is altered at night, there were times when it was 170 yards and it looked over 200. The greens rolled true but they were on the slow side. A couple of them were aerated as well. All-in-all it was a great experience and I look forward to doing it more regularly.

After my second round on the Red Course, I am still looking for redemption. The course was in fantastic shape. I have never played in as much wind as I did that day. It was actually playing into the putts which made it difficult. I don't need any help missing putts! I always enjoy my experience at Streamsong as this was my fourth visit to the property. Hoping to play the Black course in the near future. Must see Resort! The rooms are phenomenal.

What an unbelievable day!

From the moment you turn to head on the road to the clubhouse, you know that you are somewhere special. The road in was absolutely stunning with tightly mown grass and a look at the majestic clubhouse. Once we dropped off our bags, it only continued to get better as we went down to the excellent practice facility. Any shot that you wanted to practice could be done there. Countless flags and looks awaited as you hit each ball. The starter was very helpful and gave us tips prior to our round. This is a cart path only facility, I would suggest hitting it close to the path if you don't care to walk a lot.

The course was in fantastic shape! The greens were rolling out nicely. I, unfortunately, dunked it in the water at 17. Now I have to come back for redemption! This course certainly lives up to the hype. Glad I was able to check this off the bucket list!

It has been a month or two since I had last played at Highlands Reserve, and I must say the course was in pretty good shape considering a hurricane rolled through less than a month ago. The tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. The greens rolled true but were a touch on the slow side for my liking. All-in-all, an enjoyable round, and a fun layout.

Irma's Wrath Can Be Seen...

I was able to play Cypresswood in a scramble tournament and was I lucky I was playing it for that. The course was in pretty rough shape. The hurricane certainly took a toll as several trees were down across the course. The greens rolled pretty slow and the rough was very thick. Our group was losing balls just off the fairway. The tee boxes were very rough. There was certainly a premium on being in the fairway! I would give the course some time to recover prior to going back to play.

36 Holes in One Day

This is easily one of the most getable courses in the Orlando area. It is always in great shape and primed for you to shoot your lowest score of the year. The greens roll pure and the fairways are perfect. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't already! Staff was great inside and outside. Great experience.

Pre-Hurricane Round

Since I moved to Florida, I heard from various people how great this course was. I was finally able to play it for a great price on GolfNow. This is now a course I can't wait to go back and play. It is definitely very trick. That first par 5 especially. I will play the course slightly different on my second attempt. I was able to still put together a nice round, but it had potential to be a really good round for me. Course management is a big key around here. Make sure to look at the GPS prior to teeing off. Staff was excellent as well!

Pre-Hurricane Round

With the impendingg Hurricane due to come through on the weekend, I wanted to get in a quick round. Found at great deal on GolfNow to play this track and boy did I get my money's worth. The course was in great shape and there was no one out there. The staff inside was very nice and helpful. If you haven't played this course yet, I would recommend it over the national. The biggest emphasis on this course is to hit the fairway. You pay a hefty cost when you miss as the rough is very lush.

The course was in great shape. The greens were rolling pretty nice, the pace of play was a little slow. It was a weekend morning, so that is to be expected. Very scoreable course if you keep the ball in play! This course is certainly a tale of two nines, make your scoring on the front and hold on for the back side!

This was my first time playing Southern Dunes, I heard great things about the track and wanted to give it a try. I took advantage of their twilight summer rate, and was it ever worth it. The practice facility was very nice, especially the practice chipping green. We had a 12:20 tee time, got there pretty early and was able to tee off close to an hour early as there were not that many people out there. We were finished in just over three hours, would have been sooner had a three-ball let our two-some play through. The course was in great shape, the greens were pretty firm and not very receptive, but they rolled great. Definitely going to play this course again.

Played in the Tee-Lo Scramble and the course was in great shape. Greens rolled very nicely. The pace of play was very bad given it was a scramble. I will definitely be back to play the course again given the better shape it was in from the last time I had played it.

The Blue Monster is fierce

The property at Trump Doral was phenomenal. Two pro shops and nothing short of excellent. The range was nice, but nothing beat the views from the practice green. The course was in great shape. Make sure to pack a lunch because this course is HARD. We played two sets up and still had a tough time. I think having played it once I would have approached some holes differently the second time around. Definitely worth checking out if afforded the opportunity.

It is always a treat to be able to play at Streamsong. This was my first time having a caddie, and was he ever helpful. I had putts that I read broke one way and he told me it went the other. Very knowledgeable. One word of advice, do not short side yourself, it makes for a long day. The staff in the shop was very pleasant and the food in the bar was great. I recommend the Turkey Wrap! We were going to play the Red Course on Saturday, but ultimately got rained out. Make sure and drink plenty of fluids out here as there is not much tree cover on hot days. Definitely need to check this resort out. The rooms were top-notch!
