Anybody played Shingle Creek in Orlando?

[jetsknicks1]

I have business meetings in Orlando on Sunday and am playing Shingle Creek with 3 of my bosses on Monday. I've heard it's very nice. Any feedback?

Never Played there,but passed by it many times. It's a beautiful course. Back in December the grass was brown, but it may be greener now, due to the warmer weather.

Yea, I imagine after the rain we've had it should be pretty green. Looking forward to it.

I played a round there in 2009 and had a good time. I hacked it up pretty hard, so I can't really say that I truly experienced the course, but my memories of the place are pretty nice. The range was really nice as was the putting green. I don't remember them having a short game area.

I do remember the tee box options being on the longer side for the most part. That made it pretty tough.

I've played Shingle Creek about 5-7 times. It's a gorgeous course. It's been in immaculate shape every time I play. I've played a bunch of the courses down in Orlando and it's one of my favorite down there. The greens are usually pretty fast and there's no such thing as a bad lie. It's not the easiest course but at the same time it really isn't too hard. There are a few holes that will definitely give you a tough time but you'll enjoy your time playing there. Just make sure you bring some cash for tips because they get you right when you get there taking your bags, cleaning your clubs, parking your car, etc.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I only live a little over an hour from Orlando but never really play there. Thanks for the heads up about the tipping, I always feel like an idiot if I forget to bring some cash with me.

I played Shingle Creek this past December and it's in great shape right now.  The layout isn't gimmicky at all which is why I enjoyed it so much.  It's a fair test and I would suggest to play off of the proper tees to ensure that you and your company enjoy the round and have a chance to play well.

Enjoy and report back on how you liked it!

Didn't get play Shingle Creek, we played Falcons Fire instead. The greens were a bit rough but the course was in great shape and the service was amazing.

A shame you didn't get to play it but I've heard good things about Falcon's Fire. I'm going down to Orlando tomorrow for the weekend and am planning on playing that course for the first time.

I actually played Shingle Creek this week since I was at a conference in town. I was very impressed by the course and it was in awesome condition. The service there was great and it did not hurt that I shot my best front 9 ever (a 44 thanks to a chip in for birdie on 9) though I screwed it up with a 51 on the back.

The service at Falcon's Fire was awesome, they havr free valet parking at the bag drop!. You give your keys to somebody at the local muni I play and you'll never see your car again! :)
