Lots of good ones in the Orlando area. You mentioned one - Harmony Ranch, which isn't far from Melbourne. Check out Royal St. Cloud - just head west in 192 until you get to St. Cloud & follow the signs - 27 holes of links-style golf.

You also have Lake Nona on the southeast side of Orlando just off the 417, so easy access from the coast.

Bay Tree National is a nice course in Melbourne. http://www.baytreenational.com/sites/courses/layout9.asp?id=806&page;=45068

Don't know Harmony Ranch, but Harmony Preserve is a nice course about 40 minutes west of Melbourne

Royal Oak is in Titusville, about 40 minutes north of Melbourne

Thanks for your response....As of right now we are going to play Duran and the Harmony Preserve.....You suggested the Royal Oak....would that be preferred over any Orlando coarse?  I would like to treat the boys to the best course possible...I understand people have their own opinions....price is not an issue....we are willing to fork out a couple bucks for a really nice course.....any information would be greatly appreciated....cheers

There are a number of Orlando courses that I'd suggest over Royal Oak. I thought you were looking for decdent courses as close to Melbourne as possible. Here's a limk to my favorite Orlando courses. Most of them are an hour to 1.5 hours from Melbourne. Eagle Creek is close to Orlando airport, about an hour from Melbourne.
