Eagle Creek is pretty close to there, or are you looking for something different since you've played it before?

Another different option (again, can't speak to current conditions) is Royal St Cloud in Kissimmee.  Links style course, fairly priced, but again, this time of year as a popular snowbird course, pace of play can be a challenge...

I played at St Cloud a few years ago. Three Nines if i recall. I liked the layout alot, mostly because it didn't have any freaking houses on it. Its not really a true links style track, though. You have to play the ball up alot. I didn't like Eagle Creek at all.

Thanks Groucho, I'll check it out. I'm surprised you didn't like Eagle Creek, I've played there several times and have always enjoyed it.

I really liked Eagle Creek as well, in fact I went back and played it again after our TST round.

I've played Royal St. Cloud a couple of times as well, I always enjoyed it and my Dad likes it as well.

Its a really nice course, just has some annoying holes. But I think i just hate 18. Thats such a dumb and contrived hole. Pete Dye inspired nonsense. Especially after 17, which i remember being a really strong hole.

Think I actually parred 18. I did like the way it came back in to the clubhouse, was a beautiful layout.

17 was a good par 3, fairly long over some water.

Low handicappers tend to not like that hole.  A relatively short par-5 with a huge amount of risk associated with going for the green in 2.  Easy 5 if you play it in 3 shots.  It can get messy if you don't though...

Overall I like the course.  The par-3's in particular are very strong.

I think @kpaulhus did just that, went for it in 2 and hit it in the water.

I agree. I liked all the par 3s on that course. I dont like blind tee shots and i think thats another reason that hole annoys me.

He's lucky.  It's a real shallow green.  The water short is better than OB long.  Then things get really ugly...  ;-)

My 5 iron got up high in the wind and I had to hit a cut to shorten it some and ended up landing pin high in the water right. Still a cool hole and for sure risk/reward. I enjoyed the course. On 17 I hit my ball in a front right bunker and holed out for birdie. Needed a birdie on 18 to shoot 79 and ended up with a bogey for an 81. Not bad IMO for the first time seeing a course.

Not bad at all!  :beer:

Par 73 too.  Breaking 80 is a big deal for me on that course.  Of course, breaking 80 is a big deal for me on most courses!   :8)

It was a fun course for me, 78 the first time I played it with the birdie on 18 (I birdied all of the Par 5's on the back) and then a 76 the second time I saw it along with playing back a set of tees.  :beer:

Edit: But I forgot my wonderful display of putting that first day, NOT, 6 three putts (ugh)

I would rather not discuss scoring on that course from the easy tees. Freaking +18 with quadruple on 18. I started out good with a 3-putt bogey on 1 (that's not the good part) followed by 4 pars. Then I had a triple, par, bogey, double. The back had a few doubles and the quad. I can't wait to go back and get some revenge on that place. Good news. my medical issue is improving. Bad news. It's going to be cold and blustery this weekend.

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
