Orlando, where to play

[khale]

I, my wife and her family will be in Orlando for four days going to the parks. I am thinking about sneaking out half a day for a round of golf. I have never played golf outside the state of California and want to experience something different. Where should I play? There are a few criteria:

1. Green fee under $100.
2. Close to the parks
3. Have clubs rental--preferably under $30

Thanks for your suggestions.

On Thanksgiving I played at Falcons Fire in Kissimmee, nice track. Green fee $54, I believe they rent Callaway but don't know the cost. I made the tee time online but can't remember the site. Search "Falcons Fire" in Google. Be aware they had overseeded the fairways and it was cart path only, not sure if that will be the case when your in town.

I am sure there are quite a few very nice courses in Orlando that will meet all three of your requirements but I would not miss out playing ChampionsGate...there are two courses and they are both friggin awe...wait for it...some!!! You might even run into a few pros while there especially during this time of the year as I have seen quite a few including Annika, Immelman and a few others. There is a David Leadbetter teaching academy in case you want to have your swing looked at...and the whole place is incrediably nice but unless you find a deal it might be more then $100 but it is not far from Disney and I think they rent Callaway clubs...enjoy your trip.

You can play the Magnolia, Plam or Lake Buena Vista courses at Disney for less than $100. Twilight rates are less than $50. They are very convenient, great condition and unsurpassed service. If you stay at Disney they drive you back and forth between the course and hotel for free. When my family visits Disney, we go to the theme parks early , they take a nap or swim after lunch while I play a round of golf and then we meet fro dinner and back to the parks. Orange County National and Championsgate are also good choices near Diseny that can be less than $100. Check Golf Now for chep last minute tee times.
