nice change

Course is great especially for that part of town, not one condo, house, jogger, cars etc., kindda like being in myrtle beach, sure someday it will be gone and filled in with condos!! One hole does allow you to see the service road to a toll road, a female appeared to be broken down and became more worried about her and was amazed no one stopped to help or the road rangers as obviously she was in view of the cameras for the toll booth, likely says lots about the times, but i digress!! Paid a great rate likely because greens were punched a few weeks back and time of year, so was a great value. dont believe greens affected my putting at all cause it sucks even on perfect greens!! read lots of poor reviews on here so was leery however overall course was great, yes a few barren tee boxes and a few bad spots on course but certainly nothing that impacted my game!! looked like a few places where maybe maintenance vehicles got stuck in wet areas. Course very challenging but seemed fair, likely you have to play from correct tees, we even moved up to red for a few. Some distances appeared to be off! There were lots of twosomes and play became slow so we played 2/3 with two others, was fine and imagine course let out twosomes trying to do right thing so no complaint! My partner is a great golfer and very particular, had played the course many times and remarked although it use to be pristine it was better then recently, a great challenge and as such we are playing again next week!! Staff even made extra accomadations for guy i was with to help him feel more comfortable for a health concern. Be ware carts are sensitive if you even get one foot off route they will shut em down and takes forever to get back on track!

Falcons Fire Not What It Used to be

* Valet rude upon arrival

* Pro Shop young man, arrogant, no customer service skills.

* Driving range closed

* Lots of ground under repair, dirt around some greens, one tee box hardly any grass, sand traps flooded and some washed out.

* Cart path only play is rediculous due to amount of walking to your shot.

* Can’t recommend to anyone, sad!

Not as good as I expected

Was visiting Orlando and looking forward to a round there as I’d heard it was solid. Gotta say I was underwhelmed. The layout itself is interesting but not in good shape. The course seemed REALLY dry and baked out.

The greens are starting to recover after getting punched but they were just OK. Tee boxes were chewed up and not good. Rough was solid but had many dead patches. The fairways were the best part of the course.

On a very hot and humid day, all of the water coolers were empty. Not good! GPS on the carts is always nice but the cart we had did not drive/steer well. Played the first six holes at a decent pace but the course was really slow. Back nine was really backed up.

Staff was great. The young lady in the pro shop was quite busy but quickly checked us in, and an older gentleman at cart pickup/starter was friendly. While we got a decent rate to play (likely due to the punched greens), I seriously doubt I will ever play FF in future trips to Florida.

Wouldn’t Recommend

Don’t even bother with this course if you are wanting to put together a good round. The greens were in really bad shape (not because of aeration) and did not roll true. The course has loads of bunkers but they aren’t maintained. Some were nice and packed and others you might as well go to the beach. The only thing that saved this round was the group I got paired with.

Disappointed is an understatement.

This course has always been one of my favorite courses in central florida with a very scoreable layout. I’ve played the course maybe 10 times in the last 4-5 years and it has never been in anything but perfect shape. This time I was greeted with a chipping “green” that barely had any actual grass on it, it was more of a dirt pit. Range not bad. All of the tee boxes were lacking grass and were mostly sand. All of the greens were punched a couple weeks ago and they have taken 0 care of them after. Very bumpy, hard, and inconsistent. Fairways were pretty nice but the rough was non existent, just mostly dirt. I’m hoping to see this course come back, but for $60 I’ll go play somewhere else that is taking care of the course.

dissapoints

So.... finally got a game at FF after many years coming over to FL.

I must admit I was more than a little disappointed. The layout is fine ( I played Blue tee boxes), and even allowing for recent aeration the greens were quite poor and "tacky", the roll never seemed consistent from one green to the next. The blue tee boxes were in poor shape and I am guessing as not many people play the 6473 yards, they don't get much use so it's hard to see why they were so scrubby ?

Plenty of water but not always actually in play off the tee box, fairways were wide and generous but grass was on the longer side. Bunkers however were in really bad shape ( not easy to maintain on 2 fronts I understand,

(1. The heavy Florida rain storms 2. People playing but not even raking them or when they did rake them leaving mounds from incorrect raking)

Played with three good guys, Lester and Greig ( brothers ) and Will. They played white and explained that they play a different game with lots of mulligans and some of the most generous gimmies I have ever seen LOL. ( you keep playing your way guys !! golf ⛳️ should be what you make it in non comps). I played my game and found it after 5 hole's and ended up firing level handicap with a par on the last.

I would however play again.

Great twilight round!

Played on a Friday, late in the afternoon - figured I'd see how many holes I could get in before sunset. Absolutely cruised, finished all 18 in about 2.5 hours as a single. Got hung up behind a group for the front 9, but they were kind enough to let me play through. Can't ask for more on the pace of play front!

Wouldn't describe the course as overly difficult, but pretty much every green is well protected and requires precision on approach.

With the exception of one tee box, conditions were totally fine, especially given the more than fair twilight pricing. Fairways were in good shape, greens had just been punched but were otherwise fine!

Staff was friendly and efficient. Maybe not the flashiest course in Orlando, but in terms of bang for your buck, a really solid offering!

Be Up Front on Conditions

So we live here in Central Florida. We understand that course/greens require aeration in early summer. But... While searching tee times I found numerous courses with a up front "aeration alert" so we knew before booking what was up. Falcon's Fire did NOT post this in the booking information.

When dropping clubs up top, the staff member was very rude. There was a man waiting so when the staffer came up top I said "this gentleman was here 1st" to which he replied "I know about him, what is your tee time" Ok, my bad I guess for trying to be polite. Then when we said (one of our foursome was with me) that we would both be drivers and the remaining 2 folks riders, he simply said "bags will be down below, you can figure it out".

Check in was fast. Still no mention of conditions of greens. Grabbed range ball ticket and headed down. Figured out our bags, loaded up and headed to range (NOTE: it is well beyond time to rework your ball machine. Can't even read the keypad display).

We saw the practice green was punched...

When we got to the starter he was very on point and polite. We asked about the greens and he confirmed they had been punched Tuesday. "Still pretty rough".

There was no mention that there was not a Beverage Cart by anyone we interacted with. Figured it out after not seeing them on the front 9.

Overall play was fine. Pace was good. Rough was "Pretty rough/choppy" Chipping from @ the green was questionable. Ended up putting more than chipping due to condition.

This is supposed to be a "premier" track. I get certain times of year they are in transition between grasses. But the overall attitude of many of the staff is lacking. Maybe there is too much tourist play and they get fed up with inexperienced player. But if you don't like your job, go find a new one. Let someone else who wants to be there take over.

Aerated without notice

The course had been aerated within a week of playing it. There were zero notices given before or while booking the tee time. Extremely frustrating to not know that info before getting to the course. The sand traps were frequently under water or almost unplayable. Pretty disappointing all around, but horrible to not have been given notice ANYWHERE that the course was just aerated.
