Forest Lake Golf Club of Ocoee
Played On 10/10/2018Always a very pleasant round…
Played as twosome. Pace was very good (3 3/4h). Course is in good condition, though some places fairways would need some attention. Greens are rather fast, but seem to be partly under reparation (!?). Bunkers and tee boxes are in good condition. Overall the course is very well playable and has partly an interesting layout.
The Country Club of Mount Dora
Played On 10/08/2018Good course for a very reasonable price
Played as twosome. Pace was very good (3 3/4h). Course is in average condition, but well playable. Greens are good. Bunkers, fairways and tee boxes need some attention, but are still well playable. Overall an average, but good track for a very reasonable price.
Crooked Cat at Orange County National
Played On 10/06/2018Not best organized, horrible pace… but a nice track
There were no carts at the bag drop, Got an old one after some waiting, but the battery was empty on the first hole already! Had to wait for change, but it was done pretty fast – good luck a player’s assistant passed by on the first hole.
Played as foursome and pace was really very bad – almost five hours!!! The course is in very good condition, though some places on fairways may need attention. Greens, bunkers and tee boxes well playable.
But overall the above mentioned problems destroyed a possibly pleasant round…
North Shore Golf Course
Played On 10/05/2018Rather a good track – excellent pace
Played as twosome. Pace was excellent (3 ½ h). Course is in good condition. Greens are very good. Bunkers, fairways and tee boxes need some attention, but are still well playable. Overall surprisingly good…
Timacuan Golf Club
Played On 10/04/2018Good course. Fast round on a windy day…
Played as twosome. Pace was very good (3 3/4h). Course is in good condition. Greens, bunkers and tee boxes well playable. Fairways need some attention, but are still rather good.
The Legends at Orange Lake Resort
Played On 10/02/2018Enjoyable round on a very good course
Played as twosome. Pace was very good (3 3/4h). Course is in rather good condition. Greens, fairways, bunkers and tee boxes well playable.
Shingle Creek Golf Club
Played On 10/01/2018Nice course, very good pace
Played as twosome. Pace was every good (3 3/4h). Course is in very good condition. Greens, fairways, bunkers and tee boxes well playable. Personally I am not that happy about the change in the layout (done some 3-4 years ago), but it is still a very good track.
Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course
Played On 09/30/2018Nice old course in very good condition
Played as twosome. Pace was rather too slow, almost 4 ½ hours. No player’s assistant out there to speed it up.. Course is in very good condition. Greens, fairways, bunkers and tee boxes well playable. Except the pace was a very good experience.
Grand Cypress - North/South
Played On 09/29/2018Very good, though not at it’s best. Rather very slow pace.
Played East / North as foursome. Course itself in good condition. North better than East. Greens rather fast. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers well playable. Pace was not good at all – almost five hours! No player’s assistant out there to speed it up. But overall a very good track
Crooked Cat at Orange County National
Played On 04/07/2018Great Course, unfriendly gusty wind and horrible pace!
I love both courses at the OCN and was very much looking forward to play it again. We’ve been paired with two young very good players and a nice round was expected. Even despite strong and gusty wind. We have enjoyed the round with these two locals very much, but the pace was really horrible – almost 5 hours!!! And nobody out there to speed it up!?! Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers in very good condition. The greens must have been sanded several days ago, but were fairly fast and true. Overall it is really a nice place to go – regrettably that there has been so strong housing construction closed to the course in the last couple of years. I remember the old days, as the place was just pure nature… And I was glad to get a hot deal as otherwise OCN is rather expensive in the spring. .
Grand Cypress Golf Club - Links Course
Played On 04/01/2018Nice and well kept course, but the layout not very interesting
The course is very well maintained, tee boxes, fairways and bunkers in great shape and greens rather very fast, some strongly undulated. But the track itself is not very interesting and beside deep bunkers, which really can be avoided, and just a creek on 4 holes, there is nothing really challenging. The pace was quiet OK. Overall it is nice, but I would always prefer to play North / South / East at the Grand Cypress.
DeBary Golf & Country Club
Played On 03/30/2018Surprisingly very good, well maintained.
This has always been a hidden gem to me, but this time I was really surprised how good the conditions were. Tee boxes and fairways well kept, bunkers very good and greens rather fast and true. Excellent pace, even though there was a skin game in front of us and the twosome we followed – 3 ½ hours for a twosome. Very good work done on the green 16… Overall it is an interesting track, with some hidden difficulties – course knowledge helps! – and this all for a very good price, thanks to a hot deal offered by Golfnow.
RedTail Golf Club
Played On 03/28/2018Except the pace a good place to go
Course has very well recovered compared with the fall. # 7 hole still needs some attention. The pace was rather slow – 4 hours for a twosome. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers more or less OK, greens rather fast, but with different speed… Some bunkers under reconstruction. Price either a bit higher compared with other courses in the surrounding. But it is an interesting track and in this condition it can be recommended.
MetroWest Golf Club
Played On 03/26/2018Slow pace, slow greens – just disappointing…
This used to be one of my favorite courses in Orlando. Incredible how it came down! The pace was horrible – 4 3/4 h for a twosome. We had to wait on almost every shot (and I mean on every shot!)! No player’s assistant to speed it up out there… Tee boxes partly with no grass at all, fairways bumpy and with different kind of grass, bunkers with almost no or too much sand, greens very slow and not true. Stuff at bag drop, pro shop and restaurant cordial – maybe the only positive impression… Overall it is no more a place to recommend, even for the rather low rate we paid.
Grand Cypress - North/South
Played On 03/25/2018Just great...
Most probably the best course in town! See my Review of March 13th. And thanks to a very good hot deal maybe the highest value too! Excellent food in the clubhouse after the round…
Black Bear Golf Club
Played On 03/24/2018Nothing special and low quality of the course…
Wanted to give it a try after several years as some reviews here were very good. But the round was rather disappointing. Played as foursome in 4 ¼ hours. Tee boxes are not very good, ladies tees are mostly placed somewhere in the fairway (!?). Fairways are mostly very hard, so the ball is jumping without control, which leads on some blind holes to search for the ball even if you hit it straight… Also around the greens there is almost no grass or it is stepped hard as concrete, makes the chipping almost impossible. Greens have different speed, from rather slow to bit faster, bunkers either to much sand or rather no sand at all. Over all it is not a place to go for a pleasant round and you can play several courses around for even less money that are in better condition……
The Country Club of Mount Dora
Played On 03/24/2018Still very good place to go
Played it the second time in the last 10 days (see my review March 14th) and it is really a surprisingly good track. Today the greens very even a bit faster and except of 2-3 holes in very good condition. The pace was fair, especially on the second nine. No player’s assistant out there, so it took us 4 ¼ hours as foursome… But it is a very good track and for very fair price. Go there!
Timacuan Golf Club
Played On 03/22/2018Very good greens!
Played this course many times in the past and was really impressed by the quality of the greens – full grass, fast and true. Tee boxes and fairways are good; bunkers would need some attention, but are OK too. Played as twosome and the pace was not very good, especially on the back nine – nobody out there to speed it up!? But the course is well playable and can be recommended, though to me the rate is a bit too high compared with other courses around…
Rio Pinar Golf
Played On 03/21/2018Not bad, but nothing really outstanding…
Course is in regular condition, some of the fairways either too hard or too soft. Also bunkers not in good condition, water in it or almost no sand… But this maybe because of the rain in the last two days. Greens are not bad, fairly fast, but not outstanding. Staff not seen except for the pro shop and starter… But the track is not bad and well playable.
Harmony Golf Preserve
Played On 03/19/2018A little bit slow pace on the back nine…
The course is in good condition; maybe some places of the fairways would need more attention. Tee boxes and bunkers are OK, greens rather “regular”, but not bad. Played as twosome and needed 4 hours, as the pace on the back nine became very slow. No player’s assistant there to speed it up! But it is a good track and very well playable.
