Mystic Dunes Golf Club

Played 3 courses over the last 5 days in Orlando. Booked all through Golf Now...Mystic dunes was the most expensive of the 3 and we were very excited to play there. The Website pictures looked great and on arrival the staff were sadly unfriendly the range was a despicable " cabbage patch" and the front 9 nine was the same as the driving range...we were waiting on every hole and there were no Marshall's enforcing pace of play..surprisingly the back 9 was a different course. It appeared obvious they started working on upgrading the entire course. I would rate the front as a 1 out of 10 and the back 9 i would rate a 5 out of 10 compared to my expectations...I would not be writing this BAD review if when booking i was advised of the conditions and had expectations that met the overall experience...I probably would have booked elsewhere if I had known or if they actually charged what it was worth. Based on the conditions I think the rate should not have exceeded $30 for 18 holes cart included

We found this course through golf app. We didn’t look at course reviews before booking our tee time to our horror; this course is poorly designed and even worse is the basic course maintenance. If the course was properly maintained, you could almost forgive the ridiculous course design.

We paid for 18 holes but decided to end this horror show after 9 painful holes.

Read course reviews Before booking this disaster of a golf course. Nothing appealing about this Resort!

Two thumbs down 👎🏽.

From Ohio to Orlando!

Played this course 4yrs ago and it was ok. many changes have been made and course is great. Lots of tee block options to suit all handicaps. Many Greens have undulations so depending upon pin placement putting can be a challenge.

Staff were fantastic. will definitely play again.

I have not wasted money on a round of golf like I did at Mystic Dunes. The conditions of the course were down right horrible. The sand trap,/waste bunker dunes were ankle deep in some places. I couid go on and on but I won’t, just consider other courses in the area before you make the same mistake I did.

Course in good shape even though it is early spring. Lots of opportunities to hit out of sand if you are not careful.

Bad conditions. Not worth the price. Greens are in terrible condition.

Everything but the golf course was great! But, I WENT TO PLAY GOLF!!!!!!

I like Mystic Dunes. The course was in excellent condition, though some of the greens had some rough patches. Many of the greens have large undulations, so try to hit your ball to the correct level. The course is very playable, fair, and challenging to all skill levels.

Mystic Dunes delivers the kind of golf experience that keeps players coming back. The course manages to balance thoughtful design, excellent conditioning, and an atmosphere that feels relaxed yet polished — all just minutes from Walt Disney World.

Course Layout

The layout is outstanding. Mystic Dunes offers a mix of open, links-style holes and more traditional Florida parkland holes framed by trees and sand. That variety keeps the round engaging from the first tee to the 18th green. The routing rewards smart shot selection rather than brute force, making it playable and enjoyable for a wide range of handicaps while still challenging experienced golfers.

Fairways & Overall Course Conditioning

The fairways are consistently well maintained with lush turf and clear landing areas. Lies tend to be excellent throughout the course, and the rough is managed in a way that keeps the course fair while still penalizing errant shots. Bunkers are clean and well-defined, adding visual drama and strategic depth to many holes.

Greens – The Signature Feature

The greens are the real signature of Mystic Dunes. They are large, fast, and dramatically contoured. Many greens feature bold tiers, sweeping slopes, and subtle ridges that make approach shots and putting both challenging and fun. A well-struck approach can leave you with a makeable birdie opportunity, but miss the correct tier and you’ll quickly learn how demanding these greens can be. They are typically in excellent condition, rolling true and rewarding good putting.

Clubhouse, Pro Shop & Amenities

The clubhouse experience is equally impressive. The pro shop is well stocked with quality apparel, equipment, and branded merchandise, and the staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. Practice facilities and on-course service round out the amenities nicely, creating a comfortable environment for both casual players and dedicated golfers.

Restaurant & Bar

The on-site restaurant and bar are another highlight. It’s the perfect place to relax after a round, with great food, cold drinks, and a comfortable atmosphere overlooking the course. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite after nine or settling in for a full meal after 18, the service and quality consistently impress.

Location

Mystic Dunes’ location is hard to beat. Just minutes from Walt Disney World and conveniently located near many Central Florida resorts, it’s incredibly easy to add a round of golf to any Orlando visit. Despite being so close to the attractions, the course feels peaceful and removed from the bustle.

Bottom Line

Mystic Dunes combines an engaging layout, excellent course conditions, uniquely dramatic greens, and a welcoming clubhouse atmosphere in one of the most convenient locations in Central Florida. Whether you’re a local golfer or visiting the Orlando area, it’s a course that absolutely deserves a spot on your play list.

Course is a great layout, people are friendly. The price tag, though for the condition the course was in doesn’t lineup. The course is playable, but definitely have to use the “roll rule on several of the fairways and a few of the greens. I’ll come back again in the summer once we have more rain and the course is grown back in.

Very fun course where there was a little bit of strategy involved on every single shot. The greens had a lot of undulation which caused some really fun putts as well as interesting iron shots! We came here a few weeks after the cold front and expected more things to be dead, lots of green grass, and the course and greens were in very good condition for this time of year

An amazing course for the money that I really would recommend for anybody to go play.

High handicappers: bring some extra balls.

Overall beautiful course/great price!!!
