Eagle Creek Golf Club
Played On 03/22/2020Nice course, mostly well maintained.
Played as twosome and the pace was just OK – almost 4 hours. Tee boxes in excellent condition, most fairways too, but some places a little bit too soft or even wet. Bunkers were not in play today – no rakes. Greens are very nice, though not really fast. The course has a nice layout, but is not really challenging – maybe from the tips. Staff at the bag drop and the starter very cordial and helpful.
Overall a very good places to go for a very reasonable rate.
Lake Wales Country Club
Played On 03/21/2020Regular, well playable course with no special challenges
Played as twosome and the pace was very good – 3 ¼ hours. Tee boxes and fairways need some attention. Bunkers were not in play today. Greens are really very nice, though a little slow, but true. Staff at the pro shop very cordial, but golf gloves are really very expensive - $25 for one is rather upper level!
Overall it is a good place to go, but you can find courses in the surrounding for lower rates…
Panther Lake at Orange County National
Played On 03/20/2020First fast round at OCN since years! BUT a really strange experience on the round.
Played as twosome and the pace was pretty good. Course is well maintained, tee boxes, fairways and bunkers very well playable. Greens are rather fast and true. Really nice place to go especially now – as is not crowded at all.
Playing golf in Florida becomes somehow strange due to changes brought by Corona virus. Less people on course, gloves wearing staffs, no handshakes, distance to other golfers.
We must be happy as long it is allowed to play. And even in such circumstances there are some dumb people on course. Like the two “not-at-all-gentlemen” playing in front of us – we may have been possibly paired with! Thanks God they’ve started earlier. Loud music from the cell phone (this is a miss behaviour that should definitely be forbidden on golf courses!!!), playing barefoot (effectively no shoes on!), hitting 3-6 balls from almost every tee box or to try to come over the lake on 7th hole (probably seen the movie Tin Cup) and so on and so on. Really can not understand how could someone like that be let to play on a first class course – or it is just a “like to be first class”? Where is a ranger or players assistant to get such people off the course??? They have blocked us 13 holes and than while searching some of the, maybe, dozen balls they drove from the tee of 14th, let us through. Horrible! And than we have seen them driving by on the 15th – one of them alone and the other with the girl on the beverage cart!?!? Really very strange!
Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course
Played On 03/18/2020Always a very pleasant round at Mission In
This course is one of my favourites in Florida. It has a very nice and interesting layout, is mostly very well maintained, tee boxes, fairways and bunkers are in very good condition and the greens are rather fast. As we’ve played as twosome the pace was more than excellent – some 3 ¼ hours. There is nothing to complain, it is definitely worth the drive from Orlando and if you can catch a good hot deal rate from Golfnow, it is really worth the Money!
DeBary Golf & Country Club
Played On 03/16/2020Would be a nice track, but needs some attention
At the current rate, we’ve paid it is OK. The course has partially a very interesting layout and requires precise shots. Tee boxes and fairways need some work, but are still well playable. Bunkers are OK, though not raked by all players! Greens are rather fast and mostly in good condition. The pace was just OK. Staff at the Pro Shop was cordial.
Overall – it is a good course and can be recommended.

Schalamar Creek Golf Club
Played On 03/15/2020Rather short but partially tricky…
Were paired with a couple from Canada and had an enjoyable round. The pace was good – 4 hours. Tee boxes and fairways may need some attention, but are playable. Bunkers are mostly OK. Greens are good too, though some places missing a little grass, but have a good speed. Staffs were very cordial and helpful.
Overall it is a good shorter course and worth the drive from Orlando.
Hello tomik17. Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
RedTail Golf Club
Played On 03/14/2020Hot day at Red Tail
Played as foursome and the pace was just OK. Tee boxes and fairways need some attention. Bunkers well playable. Greens rather fast and true. The course is a little challenging on some holes, but overall has a good layout. It is worth the drive from Orlando if you get a good hot deal rate…
The Country Club of Mount Dora
Played On 03/13/2020Good track, some holes are tricky…
Good pace – 3 ¾ hours as twosome. The course is mostly in good condition, though some places the fairway may require attention. Tee boxes and bunkers are OK. Greens are not to fast, but mostly well kept. Staffs are cordial, especially the lady at the Halfway house.
Some holes need to be played with caution, as the fairway may be narrow and have water on one or both sides.
Overall it is a good place to go and worth the drive from Orlando

Hawk's Landing Golf Club
Played On 03/12/2020Nice course, well maintained
Played as foursome and the pace of 4 hours was pretty good. Staffs were very cordial and helpful. Sanitizer in the Pro Shop show how they care…
The course is in very good condition – tee boxes, fairways and bunkers well maintained. Greens are rather fast and true. There is water in play on several holes and it requires well placed shots.
Overall it is one of the best places to go in Orlando
Played again on 17th and the pace was rather slow…
ChampionsGate Golf Club - International
Played On 10/23/2019Mostly wide open…
Played as twosome and the pace was very good. The course is of rather moderate difficulty. Water is mostly aside the fairways and not in play if precise straight shots are played – even on a windy day like we’ve had. Because many of the long sand traps by the lakes were marked as GUR, the course has less challenge. Tee boxes and fairways are mostly in very good condition. Some bunkers need attention. Greens are partly huge, well maintained and rather fast. Staffs are cordial and the Pro shop is well equipped. The only negative is the huge number of houses aside the fairways on a part of the course, but this becomes a problem almost everywhere…
Overall it is a nice place to go, though there are several courses in the neighbourhood of at least the same quality. But the hot deal offered by Golfnow.com was a very good rate.
Great! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Eagle Creek Golf Club
Played On 10/22/2019Much improved, very well maintained.
Played as twosome and the pace was very good. I did not play the course several years, as by my last visit conditions were not very good. The course has really very much improved, it is very well maintained. It is not very challenging, but on some holes precise shots are required. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers are in very good condition. Greens are rather fast and very well maintained. The only negative change since my last visit is the huge number of new houses aside several holes. Staff is OK.
Overall it is a very nice course to go and the hot deal offered by Golfnow.com was very good.
Panther Lake at Orange County National
Played On 10/21/2019Challenging track, pity for all the houses aside some holes…
Played as threesome and the pace was rather good. I have played this course so many times in the last over 20 years and it is a great place to go. The only annoying thing is the change of the surrounding – where previously were just wild life, a lot of housing is now! Tee boxes, fairway and bunkers in very good condition. Greens are rather fast and true. Some holes are tricky and a straight shot is needed. Staff at the bag drop was very friendly. In the Pro Shop rather “strict” – a smile does not cost anything…
Overall it is a very good place to go and the hot deal rate by Golfnw.com was very good!
Thank you for taking the time to review Orange County National! We hope to see you again soon so we can earn the chance to get 5 stars!
Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course
Played On 10/18/2019Very interesting course in very good condition
Played as foursome and the pace was good. The course is partly challenging, but well playable. Some holes require precise shots. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers in very good condition. Greens are rather fast and well maintained. Staff was friendly.
Overall it is always a very enjoyable place to go and thanks to Golfnow.com the rate was very good.
Zellwood Station & Country Club
Played On 10/16/2019Not easy on a windy day…
Played as twosome and the pace was very slow. After the ninth hole we have asked in the Pro shop to play the first nine again. So we did and played it in about the half time as the first time! The course is somewhat challenging, especially with the wind we’ve had. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers are OK, some would need attention. Greens have mediocre speed and are well playable.
Overall it is an interesting track and worth about the rate you can get as a hot deal from Golfnow.com.
Hi Tom! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Crooked Cat at Orange County National
Played On 10/15/2019Nice place, but cart path only….
Played as threesome, paired with a visiting golfer, who played it for the first time. The cart path only rule was presented in the Pro Shop first, nothing mentioned while booking the round. It was a pretty hot day and hitting (or even missing) the fairway on the opposite side of the path resulted in very long walks. My Garmin showed me well over 9500 steps after the round, even while riding a cart! Tee boxes are very good. A lot of fairways are by far too soft or even too wet (probably that’s why cart path only…). Bunkers are very good and well maintained. Greens are rather fast but partly with much sand. I have played this course so many times in the last over 20 years, but it is not in the best at the moment.
But overall, it is still a very nice and challenging course and the offered hot deal rate by Golfnow.com is about the value you get at the moment.
Kissimmee Bay Country Club
Played On 10/13/2019It has improved…
Played as twosome, first time after some 10 years again. Wanted to try it, as some of the recent reviews have been very positive. Well, although it has really improved, cannot understand how can anybody give it 4 or even 5 stars? It is a good track in rather good conditions, but far away from other (closed) courses in the area. Tee boxes and fairways are just OK, but partly wet. Bunkers would need some attention. Greens are surprisingly pretty good, with a good speed. Stuffs are very cordial.
Overall, it is an almost well playable course worse the low rate offered by Golfnow.com, but don’t expect a 4 or even 5 stars course….
ChampionsGate Country Club
Played On 10/12/2019Well maintained course, but don’t forget some ear plugs for the front nine!!
Played as foursome, paired with a very pleasant English couple. Pace was good. Against the last time played this course (about two years ago), there is a tremendous number of new homes build or on the way to be build. The noise on the front nine is really horrible. Beside the sound of the work, all different kind of laud music is heard on every hole! It is really very annoying…
The course is well maintained and rather easy as a lot of fairways are very wide. Tee boxes, fairways and bunker are very good. Greens have mediocre speed and are nice. Stuffs are OK.
Overall – it would be a pretty place, but the noise on the front 9 disturbs the impression definitely. The rate is (due to that) a little bit too high. Think, that even after the houses will be finished, it will not be a quiet place at all, as there Is so many of them!
Highlands Reserve Golf Club
Played On 10/11/2019Easy track with no water in play
Played as twosome. The pace was good. Lot of pines along some fairways are gone due to a “beetle” disease – what a pity! Tee boxes, fairways and bunker are mostly OK, but not outstanding. Greens are partly undulated and have mediocre speed, but are well playable. The staffs are cordial. The course is not very difficult, some fairways are very wide, no water in play…
Overall it is a little challenging, good place to go, for a reasonable rate.
We're glad you enjoyed the pace of play and found value in our golf course. Be sure to book your next tee time with us soon!
Grand Cypress - North/South
Played On 10/10/2019Excellent – as almost always!
Played as twosome. Pace was very good. The course is in very good condition. Water is in play on several holes. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers very well maintained. Greens are rather fast and true. Staffs were very cordial.
Overall it is a very pleasant place to go and currently for a really friendly rate, thanks to hot deal by Golfnow.com. Very good restaurant and maybe the best Espresso in town…
DeBary Golf & Country Club
Played On 10/08/2019Well playable course
Played as twosome. Pace was very good. The course is not very challenging, but requires precise shots on some holes - actually no water in play. Tee boxes and fairways are good and well playable. Bunkers are OK. Greens are not too fast, but are mostly well maintained. Staffs were not seen accept in the Pro shop…
Overall a good course for a very reasonable rate, thanks to a hot deal offered by Golfnow.com
