Courses near Orlando

[titleit007]

I am off to Orlando with family for 2 weeks next week.

There are 4 golfers in the party and we are looking for some recommendations for courses to play. We've only booked the 1st round at Disney Palms, other than that we are free to play anywhere. I think we're aiming to play maybe 5-6 rounds if poosible but woud like to play some good challenging courses. Handicaps are around 10.

Anyone got any ideas?

Many thanks

Lots of decent courses, played championsgate int and grand cypress in past couple of weeks, would reccomend both especially grand cypress (we done south / east combo)
Try the golfnow.com site for good deals on tee times.
There is a thread in the arrange a game forum with other suggestions.

Grand Cypress is in awesome nick just now, I played it today north and east 9's and for only $35 which is a steal. If you are not overly fussed watch golfnow.com and click the hot deals link as there are tonnes of cracking courses on it for a song. I'm playing Metro West tomorrow which is a cracking course.

BTW It's high 90's just now so plenty sun screen and fluid :thup:

I would recommend Orange County. http://www.ocngolf.com/ I have played many courses near Orlando and to me this is the best.

Have played Flacons Fire a couple of times now and always enjoyed it, althought the staff can be a little aloof.

Played Grande Pines on Wed and it's in decent nick, it's a tight track all tree lined with lots of water and a golfers course (you need to think your way round it). Falcons fire is a decent track too, I'm playing it tomorrow

Panther Lake is a great track but still below Grand Cypress IMO, plus Grand Cypress is as central as you get.
