MetroWest Golf Club

My dad and I play Metrowest often. Close to the house, seems like the course is coming along and in better condition every time we play.

It’s wide open and rarely lose a ball here. The blue tee boxes aren’t in great shape, but the greens and the rest of the course is looking good. Best bang for your buck close to orlando.

Course has improved dramatically in recent months. Greens are in excellent condition and fairways and bunkers are very good. Some tee boxes can use some work. Layout is varied with changes in elevation and water hazards. Pace of play was very good and did not have to wait in any hole. Excellent value for the condition and layout of the course. Very central location if you live in Orlando.

MetroWest Golf Club was better than expected. The course played well and was in great condition. Pace of play was great. The starter had us start our round on hole 10. We had a 7:40 AM tee time and actually started a couple minutes earlier. All the staff was pleasant and helpful. Greens were really slow. Pace of play was great and we only waited normal times while the group in front of us cleared the greens. It was standard pace. We also had nobody rushing us from behind.

The course was in great condition and was a bit challenging. We encountered a protective hawk on one hole but the course had signage to alert us to the nest, so well done on their part. There were several older trees that had split and half the tree was down. That was a bit concerning and took away from the beauty of the course, but didn't affect play. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely play again!

Course in good shape, greens in good shape, (a little slow), did not take advantage of the amenities.

All in all, a GOOD experience..

the fairways need to be better bald spots crab grass etc not coming back any time soon

A surprisingly empty Friday as i got around in about 2 hrs.40 minutes. Course is a great design, very playable...don't expect resort course conditions. Edges a little rough here or there, no biggie. Greens alright, seemed to roll true. Glad I was there.

Course was wide open. Very player friendly. Fairways need maintaining. Some grassy fairway areas very sparse. Different grass on various holes. Greens had just been top dressed with sand. Hard to judge the quality.

Greens were not smooth, fairways ok, tee boxes need some work

The price caught our attention, and then seeing that the course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, this created some expectations of the course. Unfortunately, the course was not in the best of shape. Having driven the area during our stay, many courses seemed to be green and lush, but this course was in fair condition. The starter described the course as in good condition and hyped it up. This only raised expectations that led to our middle-of-road review. The layout was fine - not too tough, but not too easy either.

The gentlemen outside setting you up in carts were friendly, the starter was friendly. The beverage cart girl was a little rough. The snack shop attendant was friendly. The "pro shop" attendant was too involved in the PGA Championship that was streaming on his computer to care about us.

There was a major wreck on I-4 and leaving at 7 am for a 9 am tee time, which would have left us about 45 minutes there, gave us an 8:55 ETA.

So, I called the pro shop before leaving home and asked if we could move our tee time. The guy on the phone was kind of short with me and said no - then he went into the speil about how we were outside the 24 hour window for changes or cancellations.

It turned out they were working on the course that day and ours was the last tee time until mid afternoon when they would open up again - doing the work behind my 9:00 start.

We arrived at 8:55 and found al this out. We didn't get any grief and explained what was going on. Took our sweet time teeing off and had a great round with no one ahead or behind us. Played in about 3:45.

The fairways are a bit above average for this time of year around here, and the lack of rain we have experienced. The greens were very smooth and pretty, but the speed was a bit inconsistent which lead me to more 3 putts than I am used to.

Good course for the money. If he would have told me on the phone about the last tee time situation and just said get here when you can, it would have been a perfect day.
