A Shotmaker's Paradise...by Design

Renowned golf course architect Steve Smyers has designed one of Central Florida's most dynamic new golf courses. With credits including three mainstays on GolfWeek's 100 Greatest Modern Courses list, Smyers, together with player consultant Nick Faldo has created a thinking person's golf course. From its lakes and tall pines, through its oaks and palms to its Tif Eagle greens, the features and contours at Grande Pines make shot selection as important a consideration as any other aspect of your game.

Mystic Dunes Golf Club ($$$)

 Select  

Bring your short game and imagination because the greens at Mystic Dunes require both to be at their best. Champions Tour player Gary Koch, who doubles as an on-course television reporter, created this interesting dramatic layout from native wetlands. This course boasts some of the most treaterous putting surfaces in the state. So extreme is the mounding on the front-right portion of the green at the 379-yardninth that a pin placement there is impossible. Mystic Dunes offers a unique take on Orlando golf. The 7,012 yard, Par 71 design is a stylish blend of strategic forms and thoroughly modern methods.

Now when you visit Orange Lake, you'll have a brand new golf experience waiting for you.

The Reserve at Orange Lake is now an 18-hole, par 71 course winding through a myriad of water, sand and rolling greens.

It was named The Reserve at Orange Lake to highlight the harmony between the perfectly manicured greens of the course and the carefully preserved surrounding wetlands, home to a variety of native plants and wildlife. Improvements to the layout and course conditions-including new water features and bunkering-make the course even more challenging than before.

 Select  

Arnold Palmer has created 18 beautiful, challenging holes at The Legends course and this 7,072-yard championship course offers five sets of tees to meet the skill level of every golfer.

The front "Links" nine, reminiscent of old Scottish-style courses, brings windy conditions along with strategically contoured greens which require well placed approach shots and precision putting, which adds a welcome level of challenge to any players game. The course's back nine, the "Pines", features towering pines, majestic oaks, winding fairways and flowing water to create a serene setting to complement each hole. Like the "Links", this nine requires proper club selection and accuracy to navigate through the "Pines". If you're looking for a little challenge to your games, then The Legends Course at Orange Lake Resort is for you.
