This Robert Trent Jones Sr. design is one of the area’s most venerable venues. The fluid beauty of MetroWest provides for a challenging but playable experience. Wide rolling fairways give all levels of players the opportunity to find the short grass, and the four sets of tees working from 7,051 yards down to the 5,325-yard forward tees make hitting greens in regulation a reasonable endeavor. No push over, though, bunkers seem to anchor every corner on every dogleg and elevation changes of up to 100 feet in some circumstances tug back in the course’s favor.

Great Value

Metrowest is a great value. Conditions are good and greens are true. Pace was slow due to a 3 some holding people up. Hitting from wrong tees for their level of play. One thing really was bad. When pulling up to drop clubs off, the gentleman there was rude to everyone. Used to be folks there that helped everyone. This guy was rude when we arrived and more rude when we finished. He will chase business away.

Nice value fun course

Looking for a place to play down in Orlando. Found this on GolfNow. It lived up to all the reviews and expectations.. nice wide open fairways not a lot of trouble not a lot of water comes into play. A great course I will be back and I’ll probably bring my wife. It’s a course that she would enjoy.

phenomenal golf course!

By far hands-down, the best golf course I have played, the most challenging. Long par fives, awesome par 4’s & 3’s. I loved the layout! especially when you go to house 12 to 15, you feel that you have gone to another golf course and then come back to the last two 17 and18. Very cool indeed! Conditions were great, and the staff in the pro shop were very friendly!! We’ll play here again if I find a good deal since it’s a little bit out of my area. Would recommend this golf course to anybody! Can’t stop bragging about it!

Well maintaied course

Challenging layout with a variety of key boxes. Green smooth but a bit slow. Fairways and very good shape. No ball washes. However, on the course, pace of play was very good it's fair game. Will enjoy playing this course again

Great time

Second time playing the course and I really enjoy it. The back 9 in particular is really great. Hole 13 or 14 (I forget) has a can’t miss view of the downtown skyline. Can’t wait to come back.

Greens were fantastic!

The greens were in great shape. They are a bit slow because they let the grass grow more in the summer so they do not get burnt out.

Fairways also remained in great shape.

PSA: Fill your divots!!

On the up side

Metro goes through a lot of ups and downs, but right now its in good shape. The greens are in good shape, but a tad on the slow side. Tee boxes a bit spotty here and there. Will be coming back soon.

Steadily improving

Over the years Metro had fallen into a state of disrepair after several ownership changes. However, based on the last two times I have been here the course conditions are starting to improve.

The greens were in exceptional condition compared to years prior which is not something I expected if I'm being honest. The tee boxes and rough did need to be cut but as a green thumb I understand there are some times a year where things need to be allowed to grow and thicken, in fact, I played another course on this same day and their tee boxes and rough were not cut either.

The fairways used to be notorious for dead and dry patches but are significantly improved from previous years.

The biggest improvement has been on the 9th hole. Rumor has it a storm washed out a section of that hole and there used to be a huge trench that has been mostly filled in with just a few spots left that need attention. It's definitely noticable things at Metro are getting better not worse.

Only two complaints, first being the lack of rangefinder screens on the golf carts and wasn't told the distances were printed on the sprinklers (my guest had a HUGE issue with this) but I am aware the course is implementing them soon and when I arrived for 9am tee time the clubhouse was not open so I wasn't able to get ice before going out to play. Also, just a nitpick there was no sand in my box to fill in divots.

Staff extremely friendly and attentive.

Would recommend as it is the best value course in Central Florida.
