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 6467 yards
Slope 119
Rating 70.9

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 value and the course is in fine winter shape

Zellwood Station golf course has multiple tees for all types of golfers and many older players enjoy the forward tees. The fairways are sparse but consistent and the greens have no sand on them and are in great shape if not a little slow. Changes in elevation, water and changes in direction (doglegs) make the course very interesting. Of particular challenge is the #14 par 5 which angles around "the crater". You will be challenged but not overwhelmed here. It is one of my favorite courses in the immediate area.

Disappointed

Play was very slow. A fivesome in front of us. Course was notified by the group behind us, but didn't seem to care too much.

I would return again but if still slow, will not go back..

It is a course all golfers should try.

18 fun different holes

I finally played a golf course that had long been on my GolfNow radar. Its famous elevation changes recall the best holes at Mount Dora GC and the old Pallisades course. Each hole is unique and presents at least one interesting golf challenge. On some holes, fairways narrow right where the big hitter might want to land a drive: water to the left might be the penalty where one fairway narrows; a deep gully to the right might be the penalty where another narrows. You approach some greens from a valley to an elevated plateau. Others are approached from a hill top to a valley bottom. The holes around the crater are well-designed counter-clockwise fun. Winter grass on fairways and greens has come in well. Green speeds were average. Putts rolled true. Trees bordering fairways are pruned high to allow careful recovery shots from the rough, which is fairly short dormant grass. I had such a good time that I regretted not having driven the extra distance to play this course years ago.

golf shirt

My golf friends and I have played here many times over the years and enjoy the layout. Two of our golf buddies live south part of Orlando so it is a bit of a drive for them. About 3 Mos. ago we booked a tee time and when we got there to check in, the person behind the counter told me I was not wearing a golf shirt and could not play! I was wearing a new golf shirt (same shirt that we have seen Tiger wear all the time) He just said, you are not playing. We told him they made a long drive up there but," you are not playing." So we got our money back and left. I must repeat... it was a very nice "GOLF" shirt and not some rag ! We have not gone back again. I understand you have lots of people playing and you don't need our business but this seems a little snobbish. I hope to get a reply from management. ???

3.75 Course

I try to be fair and give honest, impartial reviews. So let me start by saying I love this course. Florida golf typically lacks any kind of real elevation changes. This course has plenty! The natural layout is rare for Fl. There isn't a ton of money that goes into the course but there is no shortfall in pride. The fairways and putting greens were green. Hesitate to say,...plush. the greens were in great shape. Today the course kinda reminded me of golfing in Az with the contrast between the areas you want to be vs desert or in this case, scarred areas. There virtually is no rough but if you go off the fairways you will typically have a poor setup for your next shot.

Not the first place I woule bring an out-of-towner to but certainly worthy of a play.

Interesting and nice course, a few very tough holes, fairways and greens in good shape. Some elevations and terrain changes for variety as well. Friendly staff too! Senior community with well kept up areas off the course and some green space bordering some fairways for a pleasant visual as you play. Just played 9 holes today!

Been a while.

Haven’t played here in a while, living in central FL. , there are numerous courses to choose from. This is a fun course that has a few blind shots and the trip around the crater could be a problem for those that play “army” golf, (left,right,left,right). The other two guys I played with were afraid of the 16th with the pond and decided to play it safe. And I chose to play it straight across and that made all the difference. Greens were in good shape, fairways were fine for the dry season. Snowbirds, this is not a course for you, leave it to the locals!

Great price, great golf..

Played the course yesterday and was surprised to see the large hills and trenches in Florida. Friendly staff, great food and beer specials. Will definitely be going back. Glad to see it pop up on Golf Now, otherwise I wouldn't have even known it was only 6 miles from my house.

The layout for this course is reason enough to give it a try. It's rare to have undulations in Florida and this course gives that to you. There are blind tee shots and greens you must hit up or down to. They mix up the course with short par 4's and a couple reachable par 5's among longer more challenging holes. Great for risk/reward scenarios. The staff is friendly and the community of golfers are fun to play with. The maintenance can vary depending on the time of year. Overall very worth the low prices. I would recommend this course as a single digit handicap player.

We played on a cold, windy day, but there was nothing to complain about the course. Greens were smooth but not to fast. Good grass in the fairways. A tough course, but very fair. A great value.
