I'm going on a business trip to Orlando this October.  What courses do you recommend? 

I'm thinking of playing the Disney Magnolia course.  Is it worth it, or are there better options?  Price isn't an issue since most of the trip will be covered by work (I only have to pay for golf).

If you’re wanting to stay close to Orlando the Magnolia course is a good experience. Disney runs a good show out there and they keep the play going. Orange County Golf Club has two good courses, Panther Lake and Crooked Cat ( LIV had a tournament at Crooked Cat.) My home course Celebration Golf Club is in good shape as well. Downside is there’s a good chance you’ll get rain if later in the day, and these courses may have cart path only as well.

I ended up playing Shingle Creek GC in Orlando bc what I found online said The Magnolia Course had some temporary greens and/or teeboxes.  It was just a month after Hurricane Milton, though Orlando was mostly spared.

Shingle Creek was only 2.5 miles from our hotel, so very convenient.  The entire course was in great shape, and the staff was friendly.  I shot a ho-hum 82 from 6300 yds, mostly bc my putting currently sucks. 

We didn't stay for lunch bc my wife and I had massages booked at the hotel and we were on a time crunch.

      That’s sad. I’ve played there many times. Never had that slow a round.

      Day 307: about a 1.75 hour practice session. Spent the first bit practicing all types of short game shots. Then went and worked on long game - finding a good feel for swings as well as checking alignment and aim. Need to feel like I’m slightly open for the right aim.

      Day 23 (23 May 25) - Played Friday scramble as usual - came away with some good thoughts on the green side of things.  It was a day where I was lacking confidence in the wedge game and played a number of them short, however I went back to some of my readings about playing to the “big” side of the green and saw much better long approaches.

      That is absolutely insane. I’ve never played a 6 hour round before. Once I played a round that took 3:00 for the front nine and I walked off. I was kind of salty about that at the time because the guy in the shop said if I wait 10 minutes to check in, I’d get twilight rates, but what he failed to mention were the three other groups lined up ahead of me doing the exact same thing. Totally not worth the $20 I saved. I played a course once that was kind of the opposite. Despite being built in the 90’s, the contours on the greens were ridiculous and they had to keep the greens fairly long to compensate. It was an awful experience.

      Asked a friend of mine how his Monday round was at Trull Brook GC.  He said it was awful… took 6 hours and 45 minutes.  He said they went inside to complain afterwards and the course didn’t care.  They told him “it’s bust, nothing we can do about it.”. Can u  imagine??  It’s a short well kept 18 hole course that does shave their greens down so it’s really not fun to play there.  The greens were built back before mowers could cut them that short .He said it was $100 to play as well.
