Me and my family are going to Disney world this June,has anyone played golf on any of their courses and if so can yuo suggest one over the other.And when I go should I take my own clubs or rent some there I will only be playing golf 1 time so not sure it would be worth the space it would take to take my own.....

Well, I've played them all. Palm and Mag are nice courses. I could take or leave Lake Buena Vista. My favorite is Osprey Ridge. It's not easy but played smartly, you can score OK. But I would not lock yourself in to only playing the Disney courses. There are several that are not far away that are outstanding. We are going in just a couple of weeks and we are playing only one round at Disney (Osprey Ridge). I'm trying to figure out the other three rounds we want to play. Right now we are slated to play Grand Cypress (36) but I'm not completely sold that we will do that. I'm still trying to decide where we want to play our last round and I've started a couple of threads on here trying to get some feedback.

p.s. Go to Mark's Disney golf page. He usually keeps up with the latest deals going on down there.

Oh and if you are driving, my feeling is take your own equipment. That's just my personal feeling. I'm sure you can rent wherever you go. Flying? eh, might def want to rent. Not worth the hassle of toting your equip.

Disney's courses are overated and expensive, but if I had to play one it would be Osprey. Right around the corner from Disney is Orange County National, 2 great 18 hole courses at half to 2/3 the price of Disney, better golf.

I have played ALL of them. I liked Osprey as well. The rough there is really really deep.

As any caddie would say "keep it in the fairway"

I'd agree that Osprey is my favorite Diseny course. I've played them all several times, except I haven't played the new Waldorf course that just opened. The service at Disney is second to none. Green fees are expensive in the morning, but they have very good afternoon rates. I nusually go to the theme parks with the family as soon as they open in the morning, we eat a late lunch togther and then they go back to the hotel for a rest and a swim while I play golf. If you stay on premises at Disney World they will drive you from your room to any of the Disney courses and back, for free. We then have dinner and then go back to the parks. The Lake Buena Vista, Magnolia and Palm courses are nice, but not as scenic or interesting as Osprey, although they are less expensive. I think the Big Break show on Golf Channel was held on the Magnolia course. Orange County National is nice, but it is much less convenient if you are staying at Disney world on a family trip.

    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛 
    • It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
