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! :)

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By WillieT · Posted

      Interesting that you post this - was playing today with my good friend in our typical weekly nine-hole round.  He has a lot of chatter in his mind, most of the time, yet today was much improved.  Yes, he went through a number of swing thoughts (like the ones highlighted), but then you could almost hear the switch click off - it was like when I shot the distance, and said its "X yards", he confidently said "this club should cover that..." and made his shot most of which were nicely rewarded.   Came away shooting one of his best nine-hole rounds ever.  For me, I do have thoughts  - not in terms of negotion but rather evaluation.  What is the wind doing?  Is there trouble - left, right, middle - not that I am a great fader or drawer of the ball?  Where is the better landing spot/zone?  What is my target window and what in the distance helps me see it?  I wonder if the "negotiation" is more about not understanding "typical distance for a given club (carry and roll)" and more about remembering how that flushed 5i that went and went or how the 4i that can get there with but not reliably or accurately.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.
