Looking for a place to hold Orlando area golf outing

[jetsknicks1]

For the past couple of years a group of a16 of us have been doing a golf outing. The first year we went to Myrtle Beach, great time, great price (About $380.00 for 3 nights & 4 rounds) but the drive was a bitch. Last year we went to St. Augustine, short drive, excellent courses but a good bit more cash ($525.00 for 3 nights & 4 rounds).

This year we're thinking of the Orlando area, maybe Orange County National or Mission Inn. Does anybody have any advice? We'd like to keep around the $400.00 range for 2 nights and as much golf as we can play.

Any responses would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Orlando is always one of the best places for a winter golf trip. Good weather, lots of golf choices and lots to do. If you are looking for a package with lodging and golf togther at the same location, OCN and Mission Inn are good choices. MI has one great course ("El Campeon") and one okay course, The lodging is okay and the food and service is excellent. MI is secluded and far from the theme parks and tourists.

OCN has two excellent courses, but is not a resort like MI. It's just golf, but good golf. There are so many options to choose from in Orlando.

If you want to spend a little more, Reunion has three courses that I like, great condos and service.  Championsgate has two courses and a nice hotel.  Downtown Diseny has to many hotels to choose from and lots of golf both on site and nearby.

Grand Cypress has 45 holes and a high- end resort and of course Bay Hill, but that's quite expensive.

If you aren't looking for a "stay and play", and want to save some $$,  I'd get a cheap hotel through Orbitz or Expedia and play the courses north of Orlando: Sugarloaf Mtn, Deltona, Debary, Timacuan, Victoria Hills and Black Bear are good choices and you can get good last minute rates on Golf Now and other tee time websites

Another good choiuce is on the Western side of the state - World Woods in Brooksvile has two of the best courses in Florida that are not expensive and there are some inexpensive hotels nearby.
