Golfing paradise, a destination that meets the desires of all
Known for its golf, Florida is the only area that offers such a large quantity of championship courses. Come and discover with us some of the best courses and vacation spots in Florida as well as many theme parks.
Bella Collina is nestled amongst orange groves and woodlands, overlooking the vineyards of Central Florida and two lakes, Lake Apopka and Lake Siena. Bella Collina sits on more than 1,900 acres of rolling hills providing a natural and serene setting for those wishing to take a step back from the hustle and the bustle of the city.
From its longest tees, Nick Faldo’s course design measures more than 7,500 yards. Using the Highlands rolling terrain as his inspiration, Faldo has created a traditional valley-style course for Bella Collina. Unique to Central Florida, the course features open fairways and sweeping dunes. The design takes advantage of the long sweeps of the hillside and forest where parts of two holes are now located.
Celebration is a must-play for golfers of all levels. Throughout your round you will experience tight and narrow fairways, short and long drives, and large and small greens. Celebration is just minutes east of Disney and 30 minutes south of downtown Orlando.
Using the beautiful elevation changes and contours of the natural landscape, George Clifton has created Central Florida’s newest golf gem. Our 18-hole masterpiece is a combination of beauty and playability. With expansive white sand bunkers and mature true greens, the golfing experience is truly one of a kind.
The International offers a golf experience unlike any other in the Orlando area, but one that will be familiar to those who have played the links courses of Scotland and Ireland.
The National Course at ChampionsGate is a classic layout of America’s finest destinations. A pleasure to play, the ChampionsGate National Course is a cut above the rest with its majestic greens and long ranges.
Offering a classic country club layout, Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course embodies the natural character of the land while winding its way through pastel villas, pine forests, palmettos, sparkling lakes, and other wonders of nature. Lush fairways and well-protected greens make this course as challenging as it is beautiful for either a casual round or a large group outing
Designed in classic Florida style, this PGA Tour championship course is the longest of the Disney courses. Sharing its landscape with herons, great egrets, alligators and deer, Magnolia is certified by Audubon International as a Cooperative Wildlife Sanctuary. Featuring the world-famous Mickey Mouse bunker, Magnolia represents a challenge for serious golfers, as well as a paradise for players at all levels.
Featuring strategically placed palms, 59 bunkers, and many sparkling lakes and waterways, the natural Florida woodlands provide a stunning backdrop to one of America’s premier PGA Tour venue resort courses. Renovated extensively in 2013 by Arnold Palmer Design Company with brand new teeing grounds, bunkers, and greens complexes. Disney’s Palm Golf Course is considered one of the most naturally beautiful courses in the country by professionals and amateurs alike.
Eagle Creek Golf Club invites you to ‘save the best for last’ as it is located just minutes from Orlando International Airport. The high-end, 7,198-yard course was designed through the collaborative efforts of Ron Garl and Howard Swann. Expect extensive bulkheads around water hazards with over 90 white sand bunkers and waste bunkers up to one-half acre. Bunker designs are reminiscent of those found in Scotland and England, and the tee boxes are all raised and square, as in Europe. Numerous holes offer greens protected by water and sand bunkers.
Falcon’s Fire, a Rees Jones signature masterpiece, is typically wide open, however, shot accuracy is essential. Fairways and greens are well bunkered, and water hazards are a common occurence. Easily accessible from Disney (10 minutes) and downtown Orlando (30 minutes). Put this at the top of your “Must Play” list!
The North, South, and East Nines offer a variety of mental and physical stimuli that test accuracy rather than strength and distance. The original North-South combination, marked by sharply ledged fairways, tall shaggy mounds, and plateau greens perched above water or sand, is a demanding, target-style test. The sportier, more wooded East Nine is more generous, with less bunkering (particularly in front of the greens) allowing for more run-up shots.
Within these 27 holes, the Jack Nicklaus Signature-designed North, South, and East Nines provide three distinctly unique 18-hole masterpieces. For the full round of 18, courses can be combined as the North-South, South-East, or East-North Course. Each combination provides a distinctive playing experience, which will challenge even the best of golfers.
In 2007 and 2008, the original North South Course was renovated and redesigned. Jack Nicklaus came back to Grand Cypress to change play on several of the holes. The end result is a longer course featuring course conditions that are even more grand than before.
The New Course adds another dimension of play to the Orlando golf scene with steeper and more challenging bunkers and slopes. Set in the midst of an open meadow, the New Course is Jack Nicklaus’ tribute and homage to the famed Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland. This Scottish links masterpiece is complete with double greens, stone bridges and walls, gorse mounds, burns, and pot bunkers as deep as 12 feet… all in the spirit of true Scottish original.
Very little water comes into play on the New Course, but when it does it just may surprise you. Very few trees are located within the interior of the course, creating plenty of room to drive the ball. However, even the best of drives will be challenged, as even the slightest slice or fade can cause the best of golfers to find themselves looking in the wrong fairway for their ball.

When the town of Harmony’s stewards approached celebrated golf course designer, TV personality and 1973 U.S. Open Champion Johnny Miller, their goal was to create a gem of a course while preserving their original treasure- 11,000 acres of broad meadows, towering stands of southern pines and two shimmering 500 – acre natural lakes. By wrapping the course around existing wetlands, Miller created a stunning combination of art and nature. Incredibly, no homes will be built that front the golf course. The ancient land where Harmony Golf Preserve lies is home to tremendously diverse plant and animal life, including fawns and adult deer, otters, sandhill cranes, bobcats, foxes, ospreys and owls, as well as hundreds of types of plants, including at least one kind of rare orchid. Harmony Golf Preserve won’t spare amenities, however. Guests can take advantage of complete practice facility, featuring a driving range, putting green and chipping area, while a magnificent 18,000 -sq foot clubhouse offers a professional shop, men’s and ladies’ locker rooms, taproom and a banquet facility. A professional staff caters to guests, upholding Harmony’s standards of quality

Las Colinas (The Hills) was named “Best Places to Play – 4 star” by Golf Digest, nominated as “Best New Resort Course” by Golf Digest in 1992, and received “Top Fairways” recognition by Golf for Women. Las Colinas offers quite a different challenge from El Campéon. Its wide-open fairways and gentle rolling hills create an inland links design. Greens are large and undulating, while this Orlando area course’s classic, old-architecture style demands proper shot placement. The signature hole is the par 5, 12th hole – “Alligator Alley.” It spans 493 yards along a tree-lined fairway and requires absolute accuracy from tee-to-green.
El Campéon, built in 1917, is one of the South’s oldest golf courses. Chicago-based course architect, George O’Neil, and with further enhancements in 1926 by Charles E. Clarke of Troon, Scotland, blended unusual Central Florida elevation changes of more than 85 feet with features of traditional golf design. Rolling fairways and undulating greens only begin to characterize El Campéon. This Orlando area course’s signature hole is the par 5, 17th, a long, double dogleg that has more obstacles than some entire courses. An abundance of natural Florida beauty will mark this course as one of your all-time favorites!
Designed by Champions Tour player and NBC golf analyst Gary Koch and rated a 4 1/2 star course by Golf Digest, Mystic Dunes Golf Club is renowned as one of the most unique courses in Florida.
Located at the beautiful Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club just two miles from Walt Disney World® in the heart of Central Florida, our 7,012 yard par 72 public course offers two distinctly different nines. The front nine is reminiscent of classic Carolina courses, meandering through native wetlands and marsh areas, bordering oak and cypress forests. The back nine features the characteristics of a British Isles links course, with extensive perimeter mounding, pot bunkers, and lush fairways.
Elevation changes of up to 80 feet, greens reminiscent of Augusta National, rolling sand dunes, mature oaks and large wetland areas, meticulous course conditioning and five sets of tee boxes offer a unique and memorable experience for golfers of all skill levels.
The golf course features two distinct nines converging to form one remarkable 18-hole layout. Begin your round on the Modern nine, winding through native wetlands and Florida’s natural topography. The Classic nine is carved through a grove of 100-year old oak trees, creating an enjoyably unique setting for your finishing holes.
Crooked Cat presents golfers more of a links-style look. It may well be the most naturally beautiful Orlando Florida golf course. The course’s open feel encourages golfers to grip it and rip it off the tee, and there is certainly more room for error and multiple options for playing a hole, both off the tee and into the greens. Crooked Cat is not a connect-the-dots course; feel free to go outside the lines like a kindergartener’s finger painting.
Panther Lake is everything you could want in a golf course. Playing over rolling meadows, through native pines, around and over wetlands and lakes, and up and down elevation changes of up to 60 feet, it is first and foremost a visual delight, reminding you that natural beauty is one of the main reasons you play golf and a major factor in deciding which course to play.
This 9-hole, Par 30 course features 1,901 yards that wind around the resort’s picturesque fountain lake, while paying tribute to the beautiful wildlife found here at the resort. Each hole spotlights a different species of bird, and pristine landscaping with bridges, ponds and other water features inspire you as you play. If you’re looking to fit a fast, challenging round into your day, the course’s 9-hole, par 3 and 4 configuration, its end-to-end cart paths, and its demand for precision make it the perfect option.
Opened in 1998 as a tribute to golf legend Arnold Palmer and hotel business legend Kemmons Wilson, Orange Lake’s Legends Course has quickly become one of Orlando’s most popular courses. Laid out by Palmer Course Design, the course provides two distinct nine-hole layouts. The front side has been named The Links Nine for its open feel, which reminds one of playing the great links of Scotland and Ireland. The back nine, or The Pines, has tight, tree-lined fairways similar to the great American layouts in the Pinehurst area of North Carolina. Combined, the course provides an extremely entertaining and challenging round of golf, with water bordering on just 10 holes.
Legends Walk takes golfers back to the early days of the game as they walk their way around the links. Winding throughout The North Village, this spectacular 1,581-yard walking course is no ordinary pitch and putt, with holes ranging in length from 85 to 222 yards. The course is as beautiful as it is challenging with rolling fairways, rustic water features and pristine tee boxes and greens.
Make sure to check out the newest of Orange Lake’s signature gems, The Reserve. This phenomenal par-71 golf experience highlights the harmony between perfectly manicured greens and the carefully preserved surrounding wetlands, home to a variety of native plants and wildlife. A product of this masterful $6.8 million renovation and redesign of the The Resort Courses’ Orange, Lake and Cypress nines, architect Mike Dasher has taken this section of the first course, originally designed by Joe Lee, and turned it into one of Orlando’s greatest new, challenging golf experiences.
I would characterize Providence as a hybrid course, part prairie style (otherwise referred to as heathland), part old Florida, and part parkland. The large swath of green area visible from the clubhouse constitutes the opening and closing holes of each nine as well as the practice fairway. The wall-to-wall manicured turf and oak trees throughout this area are evocative of classic parkland courses. All in all, the variety of style and tree canopy throughout the course creates an ever-changing pallet that will provide for memorable holes as well as strategic golf.
Unlike the severe hills of the Watson and Palmer courses, Nicklaus’s 7,300-yard course is a Parkland-style layout. It tempts golfers into hitting risky shots to postage stamp-sized greens because the fairways are narrow and the water hazards are numerous.
Winding over hilly terrain, Palmer’s 6,916 yard, par-72 Palmer Course boasts dramatic elevation changes and a variety of risk/reward holes. The King is generous to you off the tee, designing the fairways are fairly wide, but the bunkers are strategically placed to ensure poor shots are penalized appropriately.
Watson’s Course also has wide, rolling fairways, and from the tips its 7,257 yards provide a stern test for even the longest hitters. The greens are big and the bunkers are numerous, so strategy is and good shot making are a must.
Experience this remarkable new orlando golf course, which takes its name from the pristine creek, which traverses the property. Early Central Florida settlers, circa 1800, were drawn to the area by the abundance of game, fishing, ancient cypress trees, and of course, the beautiful creek.
Those early pioneers used the creek well, logging the cypress trees, which were floated down stream to a nearby mill and eventually made into shingles for their homes. Thus the name – Shingle Creek. Today we know that Shingle Creek is part of the natural headwaters of the Florida Everglades, located some 140 miles south of Orlando. The ancient waters of Shingle Creek wind through the elegant new mega resort like a dowager’s necklace – slinky, shiny, and sparkling with hidden treasure. You may even add something round, dimpled and expensive to her cache, making you a contributor to historic bounty!
Orlando Golf at Shingle Creek is many things, but ordinary is not one of them. Why choose Shingle Creek Golf Club instead of our competition? It’s simple. We have no competition.
Steve Smyers’ dramatic hillside layout features huge, fast, undulating greens and expansive fairways flanked by more than 180 bunkers of every size and shape. Rising and falling over 100 feet, the dunes are planted in scrub, grasses and ornamentals. This course has been rated among Golfweek’s “America’s 100 Best Modern Courses” since 1977. Southern Dunes is a treat you will remember for a long time.
Stoneybrook Golf Club is an exciting championship golf course with a reputation for excellent greens and great course conditions that will challenge every aspect of your game from tee to green. The quintessential ‘Old Florida’ style of Clifton, Ezell, and Clifton Design is very evident at Stoneybrook Golf Club.
The fairways are large and well defined; large bunkers are used as directional targets as much as for hazards and the greens are spacious and undulating, usually featuring one predominant ridge or tier.
There is plenty of water and yet no hole seems tricked up or forced, as they are on many modern designs in fact the course has a definite air of ‘dignified maturity.’ The par 72 course plays 6,820 yards from the tips and offers three additional sets of tees so that the course can be enjoyed by players of all abilities.
This Orlando golf course is a showcase of tiered rolling greens, naturally tree-lined fairways and strategic carries over preserved wetlands and waterways and an abundance of wildlife. Each hole plays out a strategy of its own. Some holes place a premium on the tee shot, while others demand an exacting approach. One thing for sure – you’ll need all of your clubs in your bag to play Stoneybrook Golf Club.

A Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, the golf course blends into the natural landscape, protecting natural resources and habitats while enhancing the overall golf experience. Designed by two-time British Open Champion Greg Norman, the course blends a variety of hazards to provide a challenging but fair test of a golfer’s abilities resulting in an atmosphere reminiscent of a private course.
Designed with a five-tee system for all playing abilities, yet quite challenging, the Waldorf Astoria Golf Club provides a truly exceptional setting for Orlando golf. Test your skill on the 18-hole Rees Jones-designed championship course, winding through a large wetland preserve and measuring 7108 yards with a Par 72, Slope 139, and 74.6 rating from its Professional Tees. Holes are visually arresting from tee to green and require intelligent management of the game. Bunkers are carved to be reminiscent of the hazards designed on courses a century ago.

The Pine Barrens Course at World Woods, is ranked #26 by Golf Week ” Americas Best Modern Course”. Pine Barrens is a visually stunning blend of native terrain and golf course design. Named for the many pine trees that line its length, the acclaimed layout is sculpted from an expansive pine forest with surprising and dramatic changes in elevation. The large manicured fairways framed by expansive untamed waste bunkering create a unique golf experience. The course’s style has been compared to that of Pine Valley in New Jersey – the consensus No. 1 course in the world. Pine Barrens offers many intimidating, yet, enjoyable holes. The golfer who challenges Pine Barrens will find the course to test both the physical and mental aspects of the game.
The Rolling Oaks Course provides the second world-class layout at World Woods. An entirely different, yet no less enjoyable experience than playing Pine Barrens, this course’s name also gives clue to its design.
Despite being built directly adjacent to the Pine Barrens Course, differences in soil content allow the land to support giant Oak trees draped with Spanish moss that regularly accent the holes. Sharply defined bunkers filled with bleached white sand contrast beautifully with the rich green fairways. These attributes coupled with the many Azalea bushes present in the landscaping are reminiscent of the famed Augusta National.
The beautiful rolling fairways that lead to undulating greens add drama to this more traditional course design. Many changes in hole style and length create a great blend of holes that requires a variety of shots and a strategic approach to score well.
