Currently over in Orlando for vacation, met up with forum member smange (Stevie) for game on wed at championsgate international, we are planning another game this wed, waiting to hear on possible deal at celebration gc or can get Grand cypress (sure that's where Stevie said) for $69 golf, buggy and rental clubs.

Anyone coming over for holiday and is after a game is more than welcome to join us.

Regards Mark
 
I see there still some decent deals coming up on golfnow website Mark, might be worth keeping an eye on there if I don't hear back about Celebration.

Although the $69 all inc deal for Grand Cypress sounds pretty good as well.

Anyone played Grand Cypress? And if so would you recommend it?

It's one of the best in Orlando, all 45 holes of it. 3 sets of 9 holes and the 18 hole new course.

I will be there in 10 days time ;)

Admit it, have you just put this thread up to make people jealous of the fact you're in Florida and we're not?

Have a great time, I love Orlando.

I hope you get a tropical storm that lasts your entire time out there. I was going to say I hope you get struck by lightening but I'd feel awful if you actually did!
 
Some Orlando golf is dull beyond description. Grand Cypress is better than average, although often rather expensive, but I wouldn't consider it nearly as good as Orange County National - either course.

Really? I reckon Panther Lake gets close but not close enough.

What's good for one is horrid for another Ethan I suppose.

Nope, no storms today...just glorious sunshine with a gentle cooling breeze:clap:

Ethan and Valentino..if you had a choice of Celebration or Grand Cypress for roughly same cost which would you play?

Grand Cypress regardless of which 18 you play, Celebration is good enough but Grand Cypress is miles better. Grand Cypress held the LPGA tour championship last year.
 
Grand Cypress beats Celebration. Orange County National is excelent but beware the two young ladies with the refreshment cart who take your picture and email it to you.
 
Sounds like grand cypress is highly reccomended, thanks for the replies guys.
Valentino are you playing when you come over?

Is that an endorsement or warning? The Belfry held numerous Ryder Cups and it would be better dug up.

GC is nice enough, but no great shakes in my humble opinion. I would prefer OCN any day of the week, and there are a number of other interesting choices nearby.

Still, there is a lot worse around too and by all accounts course conditioning at Celebration is rather variable, so you might be taking a chance.

I understand you comment on the belfry but its not held a tournament of note for many years, Grand Cypress on the other hand atill holds regular events.

OCN always top class and i will be playing Panther Lake shortly ;)

Like I said earlier, what's great for someone can be poor for another.
 
Thanks for the recommendation Valentino, course was great, played south and east 9's.
Don't know how you normally book, just to let you know we got a voucher for $69 all inclusive from golf outlet on Vineland Ave, next door to Italian along from premium outlet mall.

Yep, cheers Valentino. As Mark says top class course with some fantastic holes. And all that for $69 including club hire. Fantastic value.

Anyone coming to Orlando get yourself a round at Grand Cypress, you won't regret it
