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.

Fun time!

Round was slightly delayed (40 mins) because of a tournament but staff was very friendly and helpful. Course is in great shape. Still more at a good pace even with the back up. Hidden gem!

Fun p;ace for a good price!

I've played Zellwood every year for 10 years. The course today was quite good - tee boxes were much improved, fairways were good, greens were firm but good, bunkers aren't a strong suit but were somewhat groomed. This course has many elevations which is not the norm in Florida. The restaurant is good and prices for food and drink are great! All staff were very friendly and helpful. One of the better $50 ish coutrses around.

Confused.

Booked a 9:13 tee time through Golf Now and arrived by 8:45 and checked in with the starter. He looked at me and simply said "I don't have a place to put you". He explained that a group of organized regulars play that day and he lets their organizer make pairings and assign tee times. After driving 40 minutes to get there, needless to say, I was a bit miffed. The organizer did get me in with a group that was a player short, but well after my original tee time. The group of guys I played with were pleasant, but the round was 4.5+ hours. Course was ok. Almost no fringe around the greens. I witnessed and experienced approach shots that missed the green by 3 feet and ended up 30 to 40 yards from the green. A couple of greens are almost impossible if you get above the hole.. I had a 6 foot down hill birdie putt that I barely touched and it raced 16 feet past the hole.

Nice Challenge

Even though I played poorly, I really enjoyed the layout of the course. The fairways were in excellent condition and the greens were in decent shape. Most greens were protected by bunkers which were pretty well maintained.

Nice course, challenging

Nice challenging course for a mid handicapper. Lots of water and sloped fairways so you gotta place your tee shot just right! Only lost one ball 🤣

We'll Be Back

Nice Fairways - great greens that reward good putts. Front nine is wide open- back nine challenges your accuracy. Overall a fun course and a good deal compared to other similar courses in the area . Lots of elevation changes and lots of well placed bunkers-bring your sand wedge!

Interesting course to play. Hills and gullies, different than most of the flat courses. Nice change and kinda fun to play. Conditions were pretty good for the price.

OK, but rough around the edges

Our 11:33 tee time was delayed about 20 minutes so a group of 80 regulars could finish completing the turn. After that the pace was fine. The fairways were over seeded and a bit thin. Off the fairway was poor. The greens were fast but generally in good condition.

Good Round

My wife and I played as a two-some. We went out behind a slower four-some, so our pace was a little frustrating until we were able to play through the group. After that, it was pretty open. The greens and fairways are in good shape. The area is very open and doesn't offer much shade, so it gets hot on warm days. The course has some very challenging holes with steep drops if you miss the fairway. The surroundings aren't much to look at, but it's a good round if you are looking to play golf for under $50.00.
