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.

It was Okay

The fairways were in good shape and the greens were hit or miss. Definitely nothing to cry about. I love the layout of the course, especially with all the elevation changes. The rough was rougher than what it should be. Had to pick and place my ball several times in the rough due to the poor rough conditions. But hey, you get what you pay for. Overall the course is in good shape. And for this time of the year to only pay $50, I’ll be back LOL

Fun course in good shape.

The course is in good shape, tee to green. The edges are burned out as most courses this time of year. It has different elevations and blind shots, water and pit hazards. Overall a fun course and different than the usual Florida flat course.

Fun Course

Came in with low expectations, but this place was really fun and challenging. Greens and fairways were in great condition. Great time and will definitely put this in my rotation of places to play going forward.

You Get What You Pay For

The course actually is in decent shape, BUT the rough is rougher than what it should be…there was sand and dirt everywhere in the rough. Had to find grass to place my ball on several times. The fairways were in decent shape although the grass was thin and the lies were tight. There were some bare spots in the fairways in some places but it wasn’t a lot. The greens were hit or miss with some being perfect and some having bare spots, but overall they were satisfactory. This is a member heavy course and we played behind 4 really slow members so make sure you tee off before 8 to beat the slow members on the course. I love the layout, especially with all the elevation changes and curved fairways. Just wish the course was maintained a little better and the members didn’t act as if they owned the course. Who knows, maybe they do LOL

Rating

I chose this course off of golf now with it having a rating of 4 .5. I do nit see how it was that high of a rating in my opinion. The course is nice just like most hometown courses. The quality of the course was mediocre. The difficulty was above average and was a challenge. It was rated a 4.5 and I do nit believe it was

Never again

Very disappointed for the price. Reviews online certainly were much better than what the course was. We quit after 9 holes.

Slow start

All was good except a 30 minute wait to tee off at mid-day. Based on the starter's "explanation" for the delay it sounded like a large group had started earlier in the morning - which likely means a number of players had not pre-booked.

A fun but unusual course for Central Florida

I'm not a big fan of blind tee shots, there are three or four of them on this course and only one of those offers an aim line target, so, playing the course for the first time with others who had not played there adds to the challenge. The course has numerous elevation changes which is unusual in central Florida, and relatively little in the way of water hazards. Only one hole has a significant forced carry (170 yards will clear the water but you need 190 to clear the hazard line, but the hole does offer a dry line bail out option.

Two of the par fives run along the perimeters of very large "craters" or mostly dry sinkholes. Unfortunately for the average amateur this sets up three shot in a row where a draw is the preferred shot. There are also three or four holes with significant slope left of right which also encourages being able to shape shots both ways to avoid running off into the rough (or into the crater).

I played the course on a very wet day (the first course I booked closed for the day due to ponding in the fairways), not as much of a problem on a course with these slopes, but...I would hope the bunkers usually permit normal explosion shots rather than just chunk and runs (it did look like they power rake them to avoid hard packed wet sand).

I look forward to another opportunity to play the course and take advantage of some of the local knowledge gained during the round.

My only real knock was that the 19th hole wasn't open (a Bailey's and coffee would have been welcome after the round) on a Monday (President's day?).
