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 was a rainy day, but we went up to play golf, only to find out the golf course was closed. They didn’t inform us that it would be closed, so we made a wasted trip and had to return home. Very disappointed.

First timer. Low handicapper. Starter was friendly and top notch, he knows his business.

Pro shop staff was great! Lunch was excellent as was my server!

Course was as expected, there were areas that were grass challenged but it wasn’t horrible. The greens were fantastic! Wonderful putting surfaces, and they held. I don’t mind minor issues with the course but if the greens are bad, it’s never a fun day. Tip of the hat to the superintendent for maintaining excellent putting surfaces.

Zellwood Station Golf

I have been to Zellwood at least 100 times over the years! It is always in generally good shape because it is in a 55 and older community and everybody likes to golf there. Some of the greens are treacherous depending on pin placement and please remember to avoid the trench!

The carts are relatively new and the Whistlestop Restaurant has very good drink specials and food options when it is open!

On occasion, as with most golf courses, the pace of play is a little slower than you would like, but generally is moving fairly quickly enjoy!

Good course

Really enjoy playing this course, but why let out groups of 5? It held up everyone behind, plus it doesn’t help when at least 2 of the four ball in front is hitting two balls off the tee. Not good golf etiquette.

Zellwood is Fun Challenging Course

First off, the golf clubhouse is kinda tough to find, so pay attention to signage (I guess since I've been there I knew my way around & ended up making wrong turns in the Zellwood community).. The course is in nice shape, and the layout is challenging, especially with a few "blind shots". You will get some side-hill lies, and some greens are table-top in size. Tee boxes need levelling, and some greens thin texture & spotty; for the most part, receptive to good shots (thus, needing to repair ball marks). The starter was busy with groups of residents, but he fit me in with another 2some of young guys. The pace-of-play was good, around the 4hr mark, but we didn't spend much time looking for golf balls. I don't hit it far enough to lose, but you really have to spray shots to cost you balls. The layout has nice elevation changes, so bring your RangeFinder, and play extra club into the uphill holes like #5. Thanx to GN for the Hot Deals discount ......I will be back to redeem myself on hole #9 (only DbleBogie).

Fairways and greens

Zellwood is a good course with many elevation changes. It's built around a well kept manufactured housing community. The undulating greens and fairways have been overseeded and are shaved down nice. The rest of the course is, and always has been, pretty rough, bumpy and turf sparse. Tough (for me) to get up and down.

If you plan on lunch, call ahead. I think the restaurant is only partially open. Snacks, merchandise, range balls, and beers are very reasonable.They don't gouge you here.

Definitely worth a look

I’ve been known in the past to give too high a review for no reason so take this all with a grain of salt: course is a gem!

Pace of play wasn’t really a factor as there was no one in front of us for a good ways, but caught up to a guy giving an unofficial lesson to another chap and they moved slow for a couple holes, all in all everything kept moving.

Conditions for everything other than the greens, fairways and tee boxes was just okay but they really kept the place looking nice in all the areas that matter. Fairways were very tight though and you could tell they probably used to be bigger and maybe it was too much to maintain. Greens were pristine, though small and very challenging in a great way.

Nothing to say about the staff, straightforward, helpful and attentive.

Value was great. Paid 48 dollars at prime time on a weekend in high season.

Course layout was brilliant and a lot of fun. A few crazy dog legs and a lot of blind shots but all very reasonable and purposeful. Hole 9 and 16 were particularly cheeky and the funnest holes. Loved the greens; again very tight and not the easiest but man will they make you love or hate putting.

Of course amenities weren’t much. Great practice green though. Range was okay.

All in all it’s just a lot of fun. Wish I could go back tomorrow.
