Just got back from Orlando and thought I would 'briefly' share my views on the golf.
Best website to book through - either the website for the course itself or 'golfnow.com' - some excellent deals
Now the courses we played and my views:
Highland Reserve - very friendly, not particularly challenging but in good condition. Paid $45 - ask for a 'bounce back' ticket if you want to play it again - we did as it was 5 mins from where we were.
Champions Gate - ,The National' - o.k. but over-rated and over-priced - wouldn't go back
Orange County National - has 2 courses, Panther Lake - played it twice - and Crooked Cat. Great courses particularly Panther, and in exceptionally immaculate condition. Booked direct on their website on the twilight rate - $31 each (full price is about $80)
Sanctuary Ridge - booked through golfnow - a great course, each hole is totally different. $29
Golf Gear - no cheaper than the U.K. unless you go to the Adidas Outlet store on one of the Retail outlet sites where shirts were $20 and ladies skirts & 3quarter trousers were about the same.
Edwin Watts stores are great to look round but prices about the same as here.
All told, a great experience!
