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.

Glad Hilton Took it Over!

I have seen some improvements on the course. Greens, tee boxes, and fairways are much better. That said, very slow greens, especially putting up hill, and some fairways needed help. Overall, a significant improvement from prior conditions. Continue the good work, trim those greens, work on some fairways and you'll be there. Will be back as it improves.

Stunning course near Disney!

Mystic Dunes Golf Club, nestled between Celebration / Reunion / Championsgate on the southwest side of sunny Orlando, Florida is a 4 ½ star rated, 72-par Hilton Resorts course. The course was designed by Champions Tour Player and NBC Golf Analyst, Gary Koch and offers players two distinctly different but equally challenging and enjoyable nines.

Enjoy the 80-foot elevation changes, rolling sand dunes, beautiful oaks, and vast wetlands areas in this gated 600 acre tract of conservancy land. The “low country” style front nine is reminiscent of classic Carolina courses, meandering through native wetlands and marsh areas, bordering oak and cypress forests. The back nine features characteristics of a British Isles links course, with extensive perimeter mounding, pot bunkers, and lush, rolling fairways. Highly Recommended!!

Thete was a lot of rain in the days leading up to the day I played. Things were pretty wet but didnt do cart path only.

The only disappointing thing was the speed of the greens. Even after the dew dried up they were slow. Well most were slow, every once in a while you would play for very slow and the green was faster so I putted well past the hole. Would have had a decent score but I had many 3 puts.

Didnt look like they had mowed them in a couple of days. I used to play this course all the time years ago and it was both fun and a challenge. This trip I left frustrated by the greens. I have a USDA handicap of 3.4 currently.

Not so great

I read some recent reviews and they raved about the 'condition ' of the course. Overall it was fair. Greens were plugged and top dressed 10 days ago so they were in recovery mode. I get it. BUT the fairways and tees were poor. Bare spots and weeds and THIN fairway grass. Totally disappointed!

Most Improved Course in Orlando

I've played Mystic Dunes many times over the years and must applaud the recent improvements they've made, mostly reseeding and cleanup. All the tee boxes, fairways and greens are now in excellent condition. I live in Celebration and play all the local area courses; this might be the best value in all of Orlando at the moment. Easily the most improved course in greater Orlando.

Very underrated

I don’t know how this place is under 4 stars. I get that in the past they used to have some tough times but it’s owned by Hilton now and they are pumping in money everywhere. This is now one of my favorite layouts around Central Florida and is hard to beat then bang for buck here.

Great condition and layout

First time playing Mystic dunes since they were shut down to redo some of the course. Currently courses in excellent shape. They’ve kept the greens like they were and they are in great shape with crazy undulation. Pedro out front was great. The starter really controlled the flow and even let us go out the back nine first because of some slight delays this morning. A great experience and will put back in my rotation of courses for my group.

Well Played MD

I have been to this course previously and came away thinking that they don’t actually like people to show up and play the course. However, this time; the course was in very good shape. The greens were healthy AND the staff were very nice. I recommend that you give MD a try.
