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.

Greens Designed by the Devil

This course was in good condition, the staff was helpful and friendly, and the pro shop was large and well stocked. But, boy, the greens. "Undulating" is too kind of a word. Many two-tiered greens with a sharp dropoff from one tier to the next. One green had a pin placement that was on the side of a hill. We took a two putt max and moved on from that one. Good approach shots are severely penalized. The tees and fairways were fine, but you'll need a sense of humor when you get to the green.

Avoid this course

Unless your typical outing involves clown heads and windmills, do not play this course. The greens appear to be designed to repel balls from any given angle. Small and without a single flat surface. Good approach shots penalized with 30 yards of roll off the green. Do not play this course.

Unique Course

Course was in average condition. Greens are beyond imagine and unfair. Some holes on slopes where u can easily putt off the green. I had more putts than swings. If your playing just have a good time without beating yourself up over your score because unless your in a perfect position on the green good luck!

Disappointed !

Front nine, tee boxes and fairways all dried up and greens so-so.

Back nine in much better condition. Some holes are quirky and the shaping of the greens borders on the ridiculous on many holes.

Enjoyed - Make Sure You Hit the Right Parts of the Green

Played on a Friday afternoon in January. Lots of sand adjacent to the fairways, so straight tee shots are important. The biggest takeaway were the greens - upturned bowls and significant undulations. You need to be in the right spot to putt and be careful not to roll off. It's a course that requires maximum attention as you approach, and are on, the greens.

Pace of play was good (less than 4 hours), the staff were excellent, and the driving range/putting green good.

That weekend I also played Panther Lake (top quality championship course) and Falcon's Fire (nice, less interesting than Mystic Dunes).

Not Enjoyable - Never Again

I played this course about 15 years ago and didn't like it. After a friend suggested I give it another try, I did. My impression is the same.

There are far too many ridiculous holes where you can hit a good approach shot and have the ball roll off the green. One par 5 has an approach shot to a green where the back portion is 4 feet below the front portion with a rollercoaster hill in between. On the new 10th green (previously the 1st) the reverse was true with the plateau at the back. I was ON THE GREEN but couldn't see the actual hole because of the STEEP 5 foot rise up to the plateau where the pin was set.

The cart kept reminding riders to fill their divots EVERY TIME you entered the fairway. Once or twice would have been enough, not every single par 4 and par 5.

The cart also encouraged golfers to pre-order food and snacks so that they would be ready between nines, but there was never any directions or signage to where to pickup the order on the long ride from the 9th green to the 10th tee.

Others might like it, but I didn't and doubt I will be back.

Golf Review only

Course was overall very tricky with the greens. Course condition was bare. Fairways need work along with overall health of the rough. Greens were decent for this time of year.

Dune bunkers have lots of sand almost to much.

Waited 40 min for a cart so we teed off late.

Also no point of ordering food before hand to pick up on turn if it’s not going to be ready. Waited 10’min for the food once we got inside.
