Hey again! So Metrowest was a little slow on the greens, but other than that I thought that it was in decent condition. Also, Disney is having a special for another week I think, 60 dollars for all you can golf, so we ended up not going to the theme parks and playing Palm in the afternoon as well!!! It was awesome! Saw a crocodile as well, haha. Palm was very pretty, and magnolia was tough, although I shot an 86 on magnolia and 89 on palm, that might have to do more with being sleepy.

Anyway, thanks once again guys for helping me plan out such a wonderful vacation. Now I'll have to come back to play some more of the wonderful courses out in Florida. It's 5:40am in California here, still used to Eastern time, haha. Playing golf back here with my uncle and Dad in a couple hours. I was damn spoiled by those Florida courses, we'll see how I look at our courses today. haha!

You are so going to be thrown off by the speed of the greens it's ridiculous. Especially since the last couple of days here it's rained and really slowed the greens down, especially in the AM. Now you're back there I would suggest hitting the putting green hard. You'll probably end up blasting a couple of putts. Haha.

Glad you had a great time here, flash. Don't be a stranger.

Default Heading to Florida!
Hey guys. So it's vacation time for the family, and we're making our traditional trip to Orlando this year (Flight leaves in 2 hours). Haven't been there since I was 14 years old. My golf has much improved since then and this will be a very golf oriented trip for my brother, my dad and I. Any suggestions on where to play in the Orlando area? We are already planning on playing at the Orange Lake Resort that we stay at as well as one of the Disney courses. Thanks!

I really enjoyed playing Magnolia. So many great courses in the area, like JB said, the list is endless.

Have a great trip!

Make sure you play the Legends course at Orange Lake. Very nice. Rolling elevations, blind approach shots. Lots of fun and a couple months ago was in fantastic condition.

Have fun while you're down here flash. Like everyone said, no shortage of courses here. Make sure you just call ahead to make sure they didn't punch the greens or are doing any kind of renovation. Bring plenty of sunblock and say hi to the mouse for me.

Played the reserve course today at Orange Lake. Sort of a warmup round. Got up late and played at 10, finished 15 holes before the weather hit us. Greens were terrible, they just punched the greens... thanks for the heads up Spank^, should have listened. haha

Well one round ain't gonna kill ya. I hope you brought your rain hood for your clubs. We're getting consistent with our afternoon showers now. I know you Californians are afraid to get a little wet. Haha.

Haha. Well we played until the marshals told us we had to call it in. We were prepared for it. Going to book the rest of our rounds a little earlier this week. Today was a last minute start and just walked on.

One trend I noticed... 30% chance of rain = good chance it'll rain in the afteroon, 60% chance of rain = it will rain in the afternoon, 90% chance of rain = it's probably raining right now.

Here's another tip... if you're gonna play Magnolia, the hole where the Mickey bunker is go one club up from what you think you should be hitting. Have fun the rest of the way dude. Enjoy our courses.

Not sure the last time you played Magnolia but it's not in the best of shape. So many other course to choose from in Orlando. Have fun picking.

Edit: thought you were referring to Magnolia plantation not the Disney Maganolia course.

Before you pick Metrowest or CHampionsgate (both have either had maintenance recently or are struggling with conditions early in the offseason), check out Grand Cypress. Conditions are still awesome and their maintenance has already been done.
Metrowest we played 2 weeks ago and it was average condition at best.
Championsgate is struggling right now.
So many great choices with absolutely perfect conditions such as Grand Cypress, Waldorf, etc..
And of course dont forget to click the tee times on THP link for some great deals.

Does anyone know if Crooked Cat at OCN is a good track? We want to play there tomorrow, but since Panther Lake is all booked up we can only get on Crooked.
