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.

Terrible Course Conditions

We played Mystic Dunes yesterday and the course was in absolutely terrible shape. The greens were terrible and very inconsistent, fairways were dried up and terrible. This course has a superb layout and the greens are challenging, it makes you think a lot about your shots. The course is very very poorly maintained. To add, when we finished our round, the bag drop guy accused us of not replacing our divots with the containers provided. We absolutely did fix our divots, we’re experienced golfers and fix and/or replace our divots religiously. We had planned on going in for a bite to eat after the round, but those comments changed our decision very quickly. Not to mention, no one was at the bar mid afternoon to get a beer on the turn. I won’t be back to Mystic Dunes.

Great until the greens

Overall a solid course but the greens are kinda comical with crazy undulations and pin locations more apt for a Sunday competition than a weekday morning. Multiple greens were burned out and no grass in spots.

Was mostly well maintained and staff was great.

The hotdog at the turn was sad, but hit the spot anyway.

Course

I love the layout of the course, but the conditions are atrocious. We have a home in Windsor Hills next door so we play Mystic almost every time we come to visit from Maine because it is right next door. I’ve been playing the course for 15 years and I’ve never seen it in worse shape. To pay $80 for nine holes on a Thursday and play on those terrible greens is unacceptable. The bunkers are horrible - dirt rather than sand. It’s painfully obvious that little to nothing is being invested into course upgrades and maintenance. It could be so much better, but we won’t pay $80 again for 9 holes with those poor conditions. Pretty sad, really. On top of it all the pace of play was awful. We played behind a foursome so bad they couldn’t play miniature golf in under 6 hours.

Phenomenal

This track is in mint shape! Played here twice in the past week. We played here several years back and it was decent , but nowhere near the level it’s at now! The course is in great shape from beginning to end. Greens are fast and challenging. Fairways are tremendous . The started and rangers are extremely friendly and pace of play has been great. Highly recommend !

Decent course. Price is a little high for the conditions At the moment. Everybody at the course was great except the pro shop. Why they have to be so rude and unwelcoming I’ll never understand. Would play again for a hot deal price only.

Worst greens ever

Nice golf staff, pro shop and starter very nice. Pro shop was good and had actually some nice hats and logo was cool.

Here comes the bad.

Putting green was horrible. Holes hadn’t been moved in a while so putting around holes was chewed up. Greens were slow. Ok I can live with some slowness. Then I got to course and it got worst. First hole I was like that’s a lot of bumps and slopes but ok.

Second hole was a joke. Putting green was a a joke. The slopes and bumps and slopes were not puttsble. The just kept getting dumber, with more tiers and slopes and peaks in the middle of the greens and sloping off every where. By the time I played 8th hole I wish I didn’t come

To this course and waste time and money . This course needs new greens. Then the quality if the overall grass and maintenance was terrible. It needs a lot of TLC for grass. Layout also poor. I have been coming to play golf in Orlando for 20 years and will never play this course again.

Honest review

I wanted to come play this to give people and honest review . I have play every course in the greater orlando area. Hilton bought this course back in 2023 and killed th entire course and promise a great renovation. Sadly it is the same old mystic dunes . For your value I will list every course in the area that is in much better condition . Providence , celebration , Orange County national , southern dunes , champions gate , white heron , royal Saint Cloud . I live here and have seen all the courses raise the rates over there years and since mystic is a resort course they can get away with it . It is a $50 dollar max course . It has a good layout with interesting holes but it just doesn’t play well . If you’re visiting and can only play a couple of courses you will be much happier playing some of the courses I mentioned above .

Excellent Course

Had the pleasure of playing Mystic Dunes for the first time. I booked the time as a single joining a 3-ball & called the golf shop to see if my partner could ride along with me and they accommodated with no issue.

Once I got to the course they even moved things around so I can play on my own on a busy Sunday which I thought was very nice. Pace of play was surprisingly extremely quick given I was a single & they were very busy.

Very fun layout. Greens roll true & fast. Always nice playing a track where you get to use all of your clubs. Par 3s really make you think about your approach. All staff greeted us with a smile and were very nice. Definitely will be coming back next time I am in the area.

High price for course conditions

I want to like this course despite having a couple of goofball greens. I have played it a few times when visiting Orlando. The first time was right after some course renovations and I could understand the conditions. I think spring is a tough time to judge course conditions in Orlando but there are courses (like Grande Vista) that know how to do it. Every time I finish a round, the same cart guy (very friendly) gives me the same song and dance about how the course was recently renovated. This time I told him it has been 2 years and they need to change their sad story. Anyway the course is a bit far from where we stay in Orlando and maybe not worth the drive. If you play, be aware the 18th hole is very difficult...it is really hard to keep a driver in play if you have any length...I cannot play driver there. A good tee shot is rewarded with a very long approach into a narrowing tree tunnel to the green. Do not miss right! Par is a good result on that hole.

not great condition

Loved the layout of the course but our group of Canadians was sadly disappointed at the condition of the course, in comparison to the others we played, especially considering the price comparison. We are deciding to not book again for 2026, regrettably.
