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's called wait for ur t time. People think if they run to first t box they won't have to wait. WAIT FOR UR T TIME.

Be patient. People going to first tee b 4 their t time thinking they get off early and backing up tee. Not good planning. Golf isn't a sprint.

Always a Challenge

Great course layout and the condition of the course was very good. The greens are in great shape and some of the greens are relentless based on the pin position. This course is always a challenge, especially around the crater. Staff is friendly and the facility is nice.

Phenomenal as always

Local course to me. To my surprise, the starter Tim was there on a day he normally doesn’t work. He and the entire staff is so kind and helpful. That’s the main reason I keep on playing here.

My Experience

I was dissatisfied with Golf Now. I had a gift card of 25$ that I tried to apply to my round and it would not let me although it took $9.32 for a deposit.When I went to counter at golf course they charged me the full.anount with no gift card purchase. Now I cant use my gift card at all through any sites. Very dissatisfied with that experience. I won't get anymore golfnow gift cards.

Rained out

Staff would not credit us after being rained out on hole 6. Referred us to golf now which was incorrect as we paid the golf shop.

Nice course

Very nice course with a good layout. Didn’t play that well but had fun. Pace of play was great and people actually let me play through which is rare.

Greens are in great shape fairways were ok not too bad. Some bad tee boxes but hey for the price I’m not complaining at all. It was great and fun and will definitely be back.

Good conditions, great small greens

Have played Zellwood for years off and on. Greens in great shape with moderate but really consistent speed across all of the greens. Fairways are good and so tee boxes. Great value for this old time yet interesting course.
