My friends and I are coming out to Florida for a golf vacation, we have been offered 4 rounds at harmony, metrowest, Stonegate and providence.

I was wondering if the courses are worth playing or steering clear of?

thanks in advance

I haven’t played those. I have heard my locals at my course say good things about Stonegate. Maybe @David in FL can help.

I have played Providence many many times. I like the layout of this course a lot. Not high-end, but its a lot of value for your money.

Played Harmony once, long time a go, but liked it.

If you are looking to play some great courses..... then consider the following around the Orlando area.

Grand Cypress New Course... it is a Jack Nicklaus design that is links golf!!

Drive west about 30 minutes to play Southern Dunes... which you have already played, maybe the others in your group would enjoy the experience.

Both of the above courses are listed by Golfweek Magazine as among the Top 30 courses you can play in Florida (meaning they are not private)...   There is also the course at the Waldorf Astoria and you can also head over to Reunion... they have a couple of excellent courses there.

One quick suggestion... check out this link it will tell you the best courses to play by State in the USA...

If money isn’t an issue, TPC Sawgrass (Ponte Vedra). If you don’t know exactly where that is, Jacksonville. But if you’re on here, I’m sure you know where The Players Championship is. I live about 4 miles from it. It’s beautiful and very fun.

    • Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been. 
    • You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.
    • Day 22 (12 July 26) - worked on putting tempo today using metronome for accurate tempo. 
    • Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!
    • I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
