About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 7012 yards
Slope 145
Rating 75.0

Carved from rolling orange groves and native, protected wetlands, Mystic Dunes Golf Club sits on the edge of the premier travel destination in the world yet offers a feeling of escape from it all. Located just two miles south of Walt Disney World, Mystic Dunes was designed by PGA Tour player and NBC golf analyst Gary Koch.

Tee-to-green, this golf course is stylish blend of classic strategic forms and thoroughly modern methods, but it is its greens that will make this course notable beyond whatever regional reputation it develops. Greens reminiscent of Augusta National, par-4 holes that rival in length to some of the longest seen in major championships, and a diabolical quartet of par 3s that seem to get more intense as the round progresses are just some of the features on this 7,012 yard, par-71 track. Mystic Dunes will leave a lasting impression on you.

Needs some work

Returned here after not playing for a number of years. This still remains a challenging course. Greens were in good condition but needed a cut, no real complaints. Tees were also mostly respectable.

Fairways were patchy and sandy in numerous places and sometimes had to take a prefered lie having found a lot of very handy as opposed to grassy lies.

Nice course

Enjoy the course overall. Generally well manicured.

Bag staff/starter - very friendly, easy to deal with (shout out to Pedro and Bob). Pro shop staff - not very friendly.

Will come back when in the area.

Need to make repairs.

Pace and staff were good, we played in just under 5 hours which includes hiding under a tree for 20-30 minutes for a rain delay. Getting drinks and snacks before the round and during the turn was a little slow as it appeared only 1 person was working the restaurant/bar. Main issue is all of the bad patches of grass in the greens and bare spots on the fairway. We had to move balls on the fairways and greens several times to avoid hitting on or putting through the bad spots. Don't know if there is a valid cause (Cold winter temps) but other courses we played didn't seem to have issues. Would not recommend since you can pay similar rates in the area without the dead patches. If they bring all the grass back to life it would definitely be a nice course to play with challenging greens.

Great staff

Got us on the course early. Allowed enough time between golfers so you didn't feel crowded and rushed. Course is in reasonably good condition.

2 edged sword

In a nutshell, great layout, sketchy conditions.

The first half of the front nine appeared that only the grass was cut, but absolutely no other maintenance was done.

as an example, on one of the first 5 holes (don't recall specifically(), the sandtrap where handicap 15's will be in was FULL of leaves, and there had been no rain or storms in the preceeding 4 days we were there. so why?

many, many dead spots on fairways and on several greens.

The back nine was better, so perhaps thats the "renovation" process.

The greens were "fun"? but might have been missing the clown's mouth on some on the back nine.

I'd say pay the extra money on Celebration or Orange County National if you want your peeps to have a happy day of golf.

Hugh greens

First time playing. Hugh greens with mounds and varying undulations making it difficult to read putts and judge speed. 3 and 4 putted on 20% of the greens. Unfortunately 80% of the greens had burnt out sections. Plenty of waste bunker sand.

2nd time playing here as a local, absolutely worth the money compared to other courses around here as a resident. That being said greens are in pretty bad shape, i give them a 2/5, extremely slow and a lot of dead areas. Layout of the course is awesome, with some challenging features to navigate around. Not your typical florida wide open fairways on every hole. Also havent seen a cart girl once in the two times we played here. Overall id rate this place 3.8/5 stars. Not worth the 120 pricetag but a good deal for 80 peak season

Terrible shape for the price

This course should be ashamed of itself charging $150.00 US dollars. The fairways are thin and every green has some sort of infection or burned out. There are multiple greens that you cannot put due to sand, infection, etc. The layout is amazing and always fun top play. We played there yesterday and the course is worth every bit of $50.00. I would never pay $150 to play this course. There are to many other courses in better shape at that price point.

Ouch

Front 9 greens, fairways, and tee boxes in horrible shape. The course smells horrible, especially on the range and front 9

Back 9 was a bit better with condition and greens.

Heard Hilton is dumping money into it but it needs a lot of money to get it where they want to be.

Would not recommend
