I am coming down to Florida for a few days on a family trip and I have basically free reign to play golf. I am hoping to play at least one round and hopefully three. I will be staying at Star Island Resort just south of Orlando basically in Kissimmee. Does anyone have any course recommendations? Looking to play on Thursday August 3rd afternoon and hopefully early Friday morning and then in the afternoon. Definitely will get in a round  that Friday. Not looking to break the bank but I will spend for some nice courses. Looking for no more than a 30 minute drive. Let's hear your suggestions and let me know if you can join!!!

In my bag:

Taylormade R11S Driver
Taylormade RBZ 3-wood
Nike VRS Irons 4-9
SM4 Titleist Vokey Wedges 47, 54, 58

I'm almost settled in to the new house @David in FL. I haven't played there @jetsknicks1 but it is right around the corner. Mt Dora Golf Club is too, but it appears to be a goat track. We went to the Christmas thing in Celebration and parked by the golf course. It looked like a nice one @Vinsk.

where the heck HS @Gator Hazard been?

Sounds like you finally got to play Mt Dora CC.....sorry. ;-) 

Glad to hear you're getting out again.  Let's see if we can't all get together for a round one of these days.  Maybe at my club over here.  @Gator Hazard, @Vinsk, @jetsknicks1?

Wife was out of town this weekend. Funny how that works out. ;-)

I played CC Mt Dora yesterday. It was OK. I would play there again. Played Mt. Dora Golf Club today. Total POS. I'm gonna have nightmares tonight about hitting from dirt fairways. 

I would definitely be interested in getting together.

Just punched the greens this past week.  Give it a week or two and we'll see what we can make work.  Maybe a Sunday, later in the morning?

Preferences?

I have yet to see any courses do that. I wondered if it was required with soft/sandy soil.

They do my home course at least a few times a year.

Every course does it and it sucks when you go play and they didn't tell you.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
