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.

Good Shape

The course was in good shape. Greens and fairways all in good shape. Some of the tee boxes need some help and the rough is rougher than what it should be. There were some times where I had to pick and place my ball on some grass when landing in the rough being that there were a lot of bare and sandy spots in the rough but still playable. I’d definitely play there again. I love the layout with all the elevation changes which is rare in Central FL. The fairways are super tight so bring your A game!

Much improved!

It had been a while since I had played this course and I was pleasantly surprised the fairways and greens were in good condition although the rough was a little challenging. All in all the course layout is so much fun and challenging that I can’t wait to go back.

Best Bang For Your Buck

One of the best courses going right now. Great elevation changes, challenging, fantastic fairways, greens that roll true. Pace of play was great too; finished the round in 4:15.

I had forgotten about all the elevation changes on the course. But considering the freeze that happened a couple of weeks ago the course was in good shape.

Zellwood One of our favourite courses

Whenever we come over to Florida we always play at least once as we feel so at home and the people are so friendly. We have been playing this course for years and we have met some lovely people.

Course condition and value

There were some Tee Boxes which could do with some attention, however, it was a pretty enjoyable experience for my friends and me. The staff was excellent, courteous, friendly and accommodating. The greens weren’t the fastest, however, they were in excellent shape and the pace of play was great. Great value for money…will be returning soon!

Don’t waste your money

There was a 45 minute frost delay. Not their problem, what there problem was, was letting out a fivesome in front of 3 twosomes. And one of the five was supposed to be the pro. Not good. I believe they cater to the regulars and don’t care about the paying public. Too many good courses out there to play one that doesn’t care about the paying public.

Nice course

Nice course, Chris, my buddy, Aced hole 2! Hit a nice fade and it bounce on the fringe and rolled right in we even heard the flag stick! Amazing time, hit em straight! The hay on some hills makes it hard to find your ball. And one hole is like 200 carry over the water from the whites. But overall great course! If you get it for $40 it’s worth it!

Oh and the Water! It’s filtered and cold all over the course! Rare and delicious amenity :)
