Golf shops in the Orlando area

[jamesgoodchild]

I'm heading to Orlando, FL this week and wondered which golf shops people here recommend popping into. And before you ask, I've used Google and various yellow page sites to get a list of shops in the area, but all that REALLY does is give me addresses to put into the GPS. It doesn't give me any idea on the quality of the shops and I'm going to have limited time to go shopping so I want to try to hit the better ones based on user experiences. Also, because I'm from Canada, I don't have any exposure to some of the normal chain stores like Dicks so I've got no idea what to expect from them except they advertise like heck on the Golf Channel, but that doesn't mean that they actually have people who know anything or prices that are competitive.

I don't have any specific manufacturers or must have items in mind, but wouldn't regret a chance to hit a few clubs, maybe browse a hybrid or two and perhaps check out some new shoes. Also, if any places sell demo clubs, I'm not adverse to buying good used equipment.

So, any recommendations?

I'm not a resident, I just travel down there on business regularly, so someone can give you some places better than this but:

There is a Golfsmith near the Millenia Mall (near Universal), and it has a huge selection (like they all do...)
Within 3-4 miles, is an Edwin Watts "Outlet", but they don't have nearly the selection the GS does.....

Thanks, I'll check them out.
