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.

The course was in rough shape despite it raining the two days before I played. Greens are tough and rolled well.

Pace of play is an issue - we started 30 minutes after our tee time and the round took 5 hours.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the challenge of our greens. This winter was colder than usual, which has delayed the green-up of our Bermudagrass, but it is coming out of dormancy and improving each day. We understand that pace of play can be frustrating, especially during busy times, and we’re always looking for ways to enhance the experience. We appreciate you giving Mystic Dunes a try and hope to see you again.

Half of the greens are unfair

Overall our group will never play MD again and not to be recommended to anyone. Best to sell to four seasons for much needed housing in the area.

Mystic Dunes Review

Staff in the pro shop excellent, the starter excellent. The older gentleman in charge of the carts was very unprofessional and definitely had an issue with us being from Canada on a golf trip. We play this course a couple times every year and due to this guy it will be our last time at this course. Only saw the beer cart on the back 9 and she was finishing for the day.

Mystic Returns

I played last week, course was busy and starting to green up after a cold start to 2025, A couple of tee boxes were thin and so were a couple of the early fairways, no big deal Florida winter golf. Otherwise, Mystic is back, greens are rolling nice, can’t wait to play again!!

Don’t Do It!

Played this course 3 years ago and said “Never again!”…well with some better reviews, obviously written by people who don’t know anything about a good golf course…I gave it another shot…this time I mean it! NEVER AGAIN!! $110 for a course in horrible shape and that has the most ridiculous greens you’ve ever seen. The only thing missing was the clown’s mouth. Do yourself a favor…even when every other course is booked or more expensive…Don’t Do It!! I guarantee you’ll regret it. This place is just a joke and should not be rewarded until they get serious about providing a half way decent experience!

Worst Course I've ever played

The fairways were beat up and devoid of grass in many areas. The sand traps were inconsistent. The greens were totally tricked up. We played the course in 5 hours and 15 minutes, despite complaining to the ranger about the pace of play.

This place is a total money grab. I complained to the pro that even if this were a nice course, a 5 hour plus round is totally unacceptable. He countered with we have 1000 rounds per week and most of our feedback is good. I told him that we had played Celebration golf club the day before and it was in pristene condition. He explained that they overseed and charged me $40 more than I paid at Mystic Dunes. Believe me, this course is not worth any amount of money to play.

I was told by a friend not to play here, but an "advisor" at Golfpac advised me that the course was re-done 2 years ago and is much better now. I can't even imagine how bad it was before.

MUST DO BETTER!!

The condition of several tee boxes and greens are not in good shape. Several greens.are under repair making the unplayable in some cases.Hilton Grand Vacations promotes this course as elite and green fees back up this claim. I’m a Hilton Grand Vacations owner and it’s very disappointing to only get a ten dollar discount and have the course in this condition.

Fairways in rough shape

I played other courses the same week, Mystic Dunes fairways were in the worse shape.

I assume because of the season.

The greens were ok shape.

Great Track

Course was in great shape for the round. All the amenities including carts, pro shop, clubhouse restaurant were exquisite. A lil repairs being done but no golf course is completely perfect. A lil pricey but other then that, would definitely recommend.

Being a former Diamond Resort and now HGV owner I was told Hilton would improve the course and is getting worse, sorry to see this happen as I enjoyed the course in the past.

Challenging Golf Course

The staff is friendly and helpful. The layout is challenging especially if you are not familiar with the course. The greens were perfect but the fairways were a little crispy (I don’t feel like it was their fault).

Poor course conditions

I haven't play Mystic Dunes in a 3 or 4 years and was excited to come back and play the course, only to be greatly disappointed in the course's condition. The tee boxes were in extremely poor condition. The fairways and the rough had numerous areas with dead grass, or were completely bare. In addition, the greens were in poor condition. To charge $130 for a round of golf on a course with those conditions was incredibly disappointing. I will not be returning.
