Rating 75.0

Carved from rolling orange groves and native, protected wetlands, Mystic Dunes Golf Club sits on the edge of the premier travel destination in the world yet offers a feeling of escape from it all. Located just two miles south of Walt Disney World, Mystic Dunes was designed by PGA Tour player and NBC golf analyst Gary Koch.

Tee-to-green, this golf course is stylish blend of classic strategic forms and thoroughly modern methods, but it is its greens that will make this course notable beyond whatever regional reputation it develops. Greens reminiscent of Augusta National, par-4 holes that rival in length to some of the longest seen in major championships, and a diabolical quartet of par 3s that seem to get more intense as the round progresses are just some of the features on this 7,012 yard, par-71 track. Mystic Dunes will leave a lasting impression on you.

Disappointed

Pro shop and restaurant morning staff are surly Greens are in awful shape and some tee boxes in poor condition. They encourage you to order food and drink before the run on their cart but it’s not ready when you finish 9. Range balls were dirty.

What a difference a couple months make

I played this golf course back in December and really enjoyed it. The conditions were really good. The greens and fairways were both immaculate in December. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing about this trip. The fairways were half grass and the greens were horrible. I’ve never seen so many Hole plugs on a green in all my life. I’m not sure if they did it to replace dead grass or just every time they move the Pin it never grew back. There was like 30 on every hole. It didn’t help that the Pynn placements were in the most extreme positions and some of the greens were absolutely unable. I wouldn’t recommend this course again to anyone. Hope this helps.

Steer clear for awhile..

Played here 4-5 weeks ago, place was immaculate. Not the case this week.. tee boxes were bad, and the greens were atrocious. Fungus infecting the greens, huge cut patches on several greens in multiple spots with new sod. Normally we love playing Mystic.. but we’ll be taking a break for now until the maintenance/upkeep issue is sorted.

Mystic was Magical

First-time at MD. Pace of play was great. Putting was a challenge with their undulating greens. Enjoyed every hole. Will return next year.

A bit scruffy

Course layout was great, starter and bag drop attendant very friendly and helpful. However, I thought the course was a little scruffy with some seriously damaged sections on a number of greens. Because of this, I didn’t think it was great value for money.

Disappointment

I played this course in December and can’t believe the course conditions. They were substandard at best. Bare fairways and terrible green conditions. The last time I reviewed this course I was pleasantly surprised. Though the greens are some of the most undulating I have ever played, the last time I didn’t find it an issue. This trip the pin placement on some holes made the greens unplayable. I have never seen so many previous hole plugs on a green. You could easily count 30 on every hole. I can only assume they were patching holes (but did a terrible job) it’s a shame how bad the conditions were as I took my family there this time based on my December visit. The only up side was the starter was a nice friendly guy. That’s the only positive. I would not recommend this course.

This course used to be nice

Aside from some fairly good greens, everything else is a rats nest. Do not play this until they give up-to-date photos of their tea boxes fairways, and everything around every green repaired. This course like many others in Central Florida are absolutely horrible. Disappointing to say the least.

Nice Layout

Disappointed in overall condition of course. First time taking my boys on a golf trip and course wasn’t worth the money spent.

Don’t charge premium fees for a subpar course. Too bad because it’s a excellent layout.

Very disappointed

The course layout is good but the condition of tees, fairways and greens are the worst I’ve played in the Orlando area. I’m glad I got it through a hot deal but still not worth it.

Good value for the money

Yes the greens have some fungus issues on some of them. Yes the tee boxes are a little beat up and they have some sand in fairways. When you look at the overall price of this place compare it to others nearby, I don’t think you can beat it. The greens are quick and roll true. It’s got some real challenging holes, some strange holes and some fun holes. I’ve yet to play here and not have a good time. Falcons Fire costs $40 more a round and is in way worse condition. Anything else around this course is easily double the price. Good luck finding a better value / deal nearby.

Fond Memories

Played here a few years ago on a buddies trip to Orlando (Falcons Fire then Mystic Dunes) and we loved it. Wanted to get another crack at Mystic and found it to be terribly disappointing. Parking lot, clubhouse restaurant, golf carts, driving range......and the course, forget about it! All we could talk about is how many other good choices were available in Orlando and how this day ruined our fond memories.

Too much waste area is a waste of money!!

I could not believe this Course is charging $120 for Round. The fairways were pretty tattered with so many areas with little to no grass. It’s a challenging course and one of the things being that there are parts of the course that the waste area is sometimes as long and as wide as the fairway, if not bigger And their waist area is this 10 inch deep, fluffy, nasty sand. I gave this course rating because of the condition of the course, the excessive waste area and the price point this was a $50 course not $120 course.
