Lots of these voucher books are around, I will specifically go into the shop you mentioned. If I remeber rightly it's not the greatest of shops but $69 for Grand Cypress is a good deal.

Glad you enjoyed it. :thup:

Aztecs27 - Metro West is one of my favourites, it's a class down from Grand Cypress but I have always played well up there. In fact and have a round there and it's sister Falcons Fire over the next 2 weeks, I managed to get a voucher for 2 rounds for $49 which is a bargain.

Yep Valentino, not the greatest of shops but I did get a pair of Footjoy Sports for $80 so around £50 which is a great deal plus the voucher for Grand Cypress so wasn't a bad visit for me.

We also got Championsgate International for $23 green fee through the golfnow website so its worth a look as well if you don't already use it.

Taking my iPad with me and will make sure I get a deal, I've never paid rack rate out there yet.

Interesting cost on the FJ, i'm after a pair of shoes out there

He only had a few sizes left mate when I was in last week, not sure if he was getting more in as he had them on special. Even if you don't get the shoes still worth a visit even just for the Grand Cypress voucher although we played with a fella who had also got the voucher in an Edwin Watts store.

These vouchers are in most of the shops, thanks for pointing it out though?:thupid you not fancy Grand Cypress new course? It's an American version of St Andrews old

Southern Dunes used to be a very fine course, better than most in Orlando. Assuming the condition remains decent, well worth a round.

It's well recommended, I may even let you know in 2 weeks once Ive played it

 

[golfsaint]

yeah would be nice Valentino

Southern dunes was the course I wanted to play this trip, emailed them before I left and they told me greens were being "aerofied" 1/4" hollow tine with top dressing being applied, guy said they would fully heal in 5 days.
Ideal if Valentino lets us know if it's as good as the reviews.

Hello from sunny Orlando, well golf all sorted

Playing Grande Pines tomorrow then a great deal for Grand Cypress on Friday at $35 through golf now, Falcons Fire, Metro West Sat and Monday then finishing next week at Southern Dunes Thurs and Panther Lake Saturday.

Will post back thoughts and reviews

And me and Mark thought $69 was good for Grand Cypress, sounds like a great 10 days or so of golf mate.

Shame im sitting back home, would loved to have still been out there. Orlando is a fantastic place and we already talking about our next visit in 2 years time

Enjoy your holidays:whoo:

Southern Dunes was excellent Mark, the greens were not better anywhere else I played but for me it was not in the Grand Cypress league even with it's great greens. Definately worth playing without a doubt.

Grand Cypress was so good I played it twice playing all 3 of E/N/S courses with east and south being the best 9's. North was fine as well and a little more forgiving than the others. East was the best of the 3, especially the short Par 3 5th to the island green.
