I'm heading to Orlando in early Oct. Going to play a little golf between work stuff. Seems to be a ton of courses. Here are a couple I'm thinking about playing

Mystic Dunes
Celebration
Champions Gate, both courses

Any input or suggestions are welcome.

One last question, how are the Disney Courses and whick one should I play.

thanks in advance.

Im in Orlando and my picks:

ChampionsGate (used to work there, GREAT tracks, even better service)
MetroWest
Southern Dunes

The disney courses are ok, but SO expensive compared to other places.

I think MetroWest is one of the best tracks in the area and usually has the most consistent greens.

I play out of MetroWest and I do demonstrations there as well.

Shingle Creek is also a great track. I have a range membership there.

I agree that MetroWest is a very good course and more reasonably priced than the courses near the convention centers or attractions. Its where I play the most. If you are willing to drop some cash, I would also recommend you check out:
Orange County National (Q-School finals will be played there in November)
Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes (Greg Norman designed)
Grande Pines (Nick Faldo designed)
Falcon's Fire (same owner as MetroWest)

Driver: Launcher, 10.5°
Fairway: Big Bertha 2007, 15° & 18°
Hybrid: Rapture, 21° & 24°
Irons: Big Bertha 2006, 5 - PW
Wedges: Vokey, 52° & 56°Putter: White Hot XG, Rossie Ball: HX HotI'm not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they'd come up sliced. ~ Lee Trevino

Ritz- I caddied there for a few months, decent course. VERY expensive green fees plus the tip for the forecaddie.

OCN- Blah... Just played them both (Panther and Crooked) for the first time in quite a while. Didnt like Crooked Cat at all, but enjoyed Panther Lake. Grande Pines- Never played there. Falcon's Fire- Terrible service and not a great course for the money... too expensive, too easy, bad greens

I'll be down there in two weeks. Here's the current lineup, which we can change if anyone's got suggestions (staying at Orange Lake, which explains so much golf there):

Sunday: Orange Lake Legends
Monday: 36 at Orange Co. National
Tuesday: twilight round at Magnolia Disney
Wednesday: ??, probably Orange Lake (but most courses seem especially crowded this day)
Thursday: Nicklaus New Course at Grand Cypress (it's my birthday, so hoping it lives up to the incredible reviews)
Friday: Orange Lake Legends
Saturday: ?? playing by ear and open to suggestions

Driver: Nike Covert Tour | 3W: Callaway X Hot Pro | Irons: Mizuno JPX-800 Pro X100 SS | Wedges: Vokey SM 54-08, Vokey Raw 60-12 | Putter (of the week): Arnold Palmer "The Original" 33"

I think Bay Hill is close, right? Palmer's course.....I loved it 10 years ago. Man, it's been a while.
The best feeling in golf is a long walk with a putter - Greg Norman

Bay Hill, Heathrow, and Isleworth are all awesome but almost impossible to get on. Shingle Creek is a nice place, the course didnt wow me, but it was ariated 3 weeks ago. MetroWest is a very nice course, would recommend it. Just played Champions Gate, the International course and was very impressed. Its a Greg Norman design and is where David Ledbetter teaches out of.
