Course Highlights
Zellwood's distinctive layout featuring hills and craters delivers a consistently challenging and beautiful central Florida experience at outstanding value. Exceptionally kind staff, highlighted by welcoming starters, keep golfers returning alongside well-maintained greens with reliable speed.

About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6473 yards
Slope 123
Rating 70.7

A 238-yard par 3, a 259-yard par 4, a treacherous hole called the "Train Wreck" and a five-hole stretch around a cavernous dry lake dubbed "Crater Junction" all help make the semi-private Zellwood Station Golf Club unique. Featuring hilly terrain not often seen at Florida golf courses, the George Maddox design, which opened in 1974, is a challenge. Located about 30 minutes from Orlando, Zellwood Station G.C. is known to be in good shape, especially the greens.

Punched greens

I assume its due to a lack of hydration (rain/sprinklers) but the greens were still borderline unplayable 2.5 weeks after being punched. Discount or advance notice would have been cool.

Everything Punched

Everything was punched a couple days ago without any notification show up no discount rate no rainy day offer full price punched fairways punched greens. Glad they’re putting in the maintenance effort but extremely disappointed in the notification and having to pay full price.

Greens as hard as asphalt

Nice challenge course until you get to the greens. They were as hard as rock!

Could be a great course.

This course could be great if the tee boxes were leveled, and the fairways not so hard to hit on. I understand that we were in a drought. A course range is needed to pick up the pace of play. All in all a really good day.

Needs lots of love.

This course is in poor shape, fairways are washed out or no grass, greens are very poor conditions. Overall not a course you want to play now, maybe they can startup maintenance again.

Course Feedback

This course needs a lot of Tender Loving Care. The tee boxes are filled with weeds. The fairways are like hitting off of cement. This place needs a major facelift. Luckily, we paid only 25 dollars for 18 and a cart.

Staff

Course is getting nicer each time. Staff running pro shop when I came in is the biggest douche bag I’ve dealt with at any course yet. Will avoid playing here as often because of him

Good layout

Fun course, three big dog leg lefts. On 16, go left of the lake. Greens ok, some were a little bumpy. Some tee boxes were mostly sand. Good value, 3 or 4 uphill tee shots. Will come back again
