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.

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 :)

Fairways were cut short and lacked grass to hit off of.

Greens were ok had some bumps rolled close to true.

Need more signs as to were to go to the next tee box…

Great layout and lots of promise.

This is a great layout with lots of rolling hills and topography. There are a lot of blind shots on this course and if I wasn’t playing with members, I would have either hit down the wrong fairway or wrong green on a few holes. I’d love to see this course in season, when everything is green. It was also a super slow round and one of the busiest courses I’ve seen this winter, especially considering it was late morning on a Thursday. I’m glad I finally played this course but it will probably be awhile until I come back.

Greens are good, rest of the course is average. But it’s an inexpensive round, and the layout is great.
