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.

Nothing to remember

A lot of holes were familiar to me. Like I’ve seen them before. Greens were best part of the course. Tee boxes and fairways ok at best. Go off play area, good luck.

Some elevation changes were nice for central Florida. A handful of blind tee shots. With everything in the area sooo expensive, just realize you get what you pay for. I got my logo ball. Thanks!!

Where is the grass?

Fairies had grass in them. The rough was just weeds. Greens were OK. Tea boxes were fair. Course was just jammed. Walked off after nine holes.

Still my favorite

I love Zellwood station. Tees fairways and greens folks.

Who cares about the rest. 3 really nice par 5's on this course. A huge crater and much more. Derel and the starter are awesome. Try it you won't be disappointed

Good conditions....

This course is always fun to play. Even more fun when the fairways are in good condition! There are still bare and thin areas in the rough like a lot of the courses in the area, but if you stay in the fairways no problem!

Greens were good but a bit slow due to long grass, but better than being bare sand.

Wish everyone fixed their ball marks on the greens.

Improved

We have played this course many times. Previously we had been disappointed in the condition of the course, so we quit playing it for a while. We were pleasantly surprised and want to commend the grounds keeper. The condition of this course has improved significantly and we enjoyed our round because of it.

Thank you,

Tim

Meh

Overall I would say this is a terrific place to play beer-league golf. So-so course with some god-awful golfers (round avg time of about 5.5 hours for me), but you can’t find a round for cheaper in Orlando. Would recommend steering clear of the locals and course vets unless you’re feeling froggy, most that I’ve run into seem to be angry that they’re golfing??

Zellwood

Zellwood is always a fun,challenging course. The conditions of the course were great for peak dry and busy season in Central Florida, with overseeding giving the fairways a nice thick green look and feel. The 9th hole"trainwreck" always lives up to it's name, and the back 9 around the crater is a hoot. Always on my list for great value and playability in the area.

Rural Country Club Atmosphere

Lots of locals playing here. Very busy. Not my type of courses. Greens , fairways & tee boxes were ok. Cart paths very bumpy. Lots if bare spots in the rough. Priced right at $50 but I’m not going back.
