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.

plenty of uphill, side hill challenges which I like and are hard to find in Florida. It was crowded but still was close to 4 hours. It’s not in great condition right now but still an enjoyable round. Better value than most

Not Bad

Seems like the fairways and greens have new grass. Some tee boxes need work. Bunkers in good shape but I wish people would rake or at least drag your feet coming out instead of leaving footprints. We had a threesome, the starter put a single with us to make four, the put two twosomes out behind us. Either put the single with a twosome or pair up the two twosomes to make four. Pace of play got awkward. Restaurant staff friendly as always. Not a bad choice!

Very Enjoyable

I've been playing here for many years and have always enjoyed my experience. The course layout is very interesting and can be quite challenging. Although the greens are not always in the best condition, that may be a seasonal issue due to weather. I think this is a very good value and enjoy having a beverage or a meal in the restaurant after playing.

Great Value

Played this course more often lately. Its a fun little track, with short easy holes and longer more challenging holes. It always plays pretty quick at about 3 to 4 hours tops (even on a Sunday morning). The greens leave a lot to be desired, but for the price you'll pay, I dont think you'll complain. For the price, it can't be beat.

Super slow greens

Course has a challenging layout but the greens were very very slow and wet irrigation literally came on during the round on more than one occasion once while on the green putting, looks like more work needs to go into getting greens up to “par” lots of potential to be a great course not there yet.

On a positive note the staff were very polite.

Greens were wet, muddy, shaggy, bumpy and extremely slow. I've played here 5-6 times and the greens were always very acceptable. Hope today was an aberration and good conditions will return.
