About

Type Public
Par 71
Length 7012 yards

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

This course was supposed to be the highlight before I went back home. I was asked if I wanted to play alone because the group I was supposed to be placed with cancelled. After three holes I caught up with the threesome ahead of me. They didn't let me play through. So I was stuck behind some guys who were playing very slow. Where was the ranger? The fairways were very scarce, the greens were beat up, and the sand was hard. For the money you charge I expected a lot more. Stoneybrook was in way better shape and the sand was perfect. It was 1/3 the price. I'll never play there again unless there is some major upgrades. Good luck.

a great day at mystic dunes

i had a great time playing the course. it was very hard and the greens were really fast, and had a ton of slope! my only issue with the course was the grass around the greens wasn't very good and that is hard to play off of. many of the courses i played this week suffered from the same issues, and i heard that has been a lack of rain. beyond this, the course was great fun and i got paired with 3 great playing partners and we had a fantastic day.

Not worth it

We played this course because it was literally right across the street from where we were staying. Got there about 50 minutes early for an 8 am tee time. The pro shop guy was rude. Range balls weren’t included for $120 green fee. Starter was a great guy. Tee boxes were mostly bare dirt. Fairways were just ok. Greens were fast but in terrible condition. Some of the pin positions were ridiculous. If this is what Florida golf looks like, consider me disappointed.

Hated it

Im from Chicago and play alot of midwest golf. I played this course for the first time a few weeks ago while on vacation. Was excited to play it after seeing photos online but once there was a different story. Played early morning. The guys in the pro shop and the starter were nice, but this course is awful in my opinion. The greens were in terrible shape and completely unfair especially on the front 9. Unenjoyable round and waayyy overpriced. The 3 other players I got paired with thought the same thing. I won't be back.

Great Layout, Very Different

The course is suffering with dormant grass in fairways leading to drought-like conditions. No overseeding this year due to recent upgrades.

The lack of plushness did not stop us from loving the course, having fun, and enjoying some of the trickiest greens I have ever played on. You need to look at the greens and know where you want to leave the ball. Big undulations can make the course very difficult.

Crazy pin positions on already challenging greens

Firstly, the staff were all very pleasant and friendly. The course was in ok condition but there were some sore bits on some greens and fairways. Nothing too serious. My biggest gripe was there were multiple flag positions that were in brutal locations. I'm not sure who upset the greenkeeper but man he must have been in a foul mood that morning. The greens are already hard, very undulating and quick. No need to exacerbate the challenge by placing the holes in horrendous positions. The course layout is quite good. I like that you cannot see what the upcoming hole is. We played with 2 American gents who were good fun and helped make our round an enjoyable one.

Short, tough greens - needs work

The course is short.. but the greens are difficult. The pin position on a couple holes were ridiculous. If it doesn't go in you had a 6-8 footer. Yeah, the holes were cut on that much of a slope. The course itself needs maintenance. Honestly for $130, I expected more.

Worst golf experience

5 hours and 40 mins. No marshal to speed up play. Terrible. Fairways weren’t much of fairways more dirt with some grass. 150.00 bucks would be spend better at another course. Will never ever come back. I’d avoid and try something better

Worth the play!

This is my first time on a Florida golf trip and this was the fourth course we played and was my favorite yet. The staff was friendly and informative and the natural scenery was great. Greenes were more than challenging to say the least, but a great experience overall. I would certainly play this course again!

Mystic dunes

If you liked baked dry fairways rough with no grass greens that don’t hold this is your course. Carts r great. Starter is a great guy and the layout of most holes is good but there r a couple really stupid ones. Look for better value elsewhere

Very challenging greens

Overall course condition was reasonable, several areas had little or no grass covering. The greens we exceptionally challenging, shot placement was important. Would definitely play here again.

Vacationgolf

Course still trying to recover from years of neglect caused from housing construction and mismanagement. Getting somewhat better. Got $75.00 rate. Could have paid $129.00 if you pay rack rate. Not worth it. Maybe in 4-5 years if they work on it maybe it will be better.

Impossibly Diabolical Greens & No Turf Fairways

Would never play here again. First of all, the staff at the pro shop did not inform us of the local rule allowing to lift, clean and place in the vast number of waste bunkers. Marshall on the 4th hole told us after I expressed frustration over the extreme difficulty of extracting balls when the balls always settled in the deep depressions of the unraked waste bunkers. Second, was virtually hitting off bare ground in the fairways--something almost resembling grass of about 1/16 to 1/8 inch in length comprised the fairway surface--no turf fairways is what I called them. Tee boxes were about the same. Greens were severely sloped and almost always crowned with an impossible pin placement on the crown. Multi-tiered to add to the difficulty. Don't think the PGA would play here--just ridiculous greens. Tiny landing spots for approach shots--anything but absolute precision did not hold. Chipping around green next to impossible. In all my years of playing, I have never seen a set of greens so diabolical. The setting is nice for a wildlife preserve--saw Sand Hill Cranes and other large birds--but not for a golf course. To top it off, no beverage cart came out during our round. Drinks and food only available at the clubhouse at the turn. A golfer in front of us having the same experience vowed to never ever play this course again.
