This course has been built in an impressive, stylish manner among the fields and woods of Ocoee.

My home course
This course is a lot of fun. It is not terribly difficult and there are no houses on it (rare in the Orlando area). They offer great membership deals to Ocoee residents and have decent practice facilities for chipping, putting and driving. Always enjoy a morning or afternoon out on this course.
Good place to waste an afternoon...
First of all the course itself is not bad albeit nothing special, the layout was pretty straight forward. Although there were some patchy areas the fairways were in decent shape and the green were among the best I've seen at this price point. Very smooth and rolled true.
The bad part was the pace of play. Absolutely horrible, by the third hole not only were we waiting to tee off, we were waiting on the group ahead to tee off and get out of the way, and it was like that every hole. There was no ranger out there making groups pick up the pace and the drink cart didnt make an appearance until the 9th hole!? 2 of the players in our foursome quit and left after 12 holes due to the pace of play so I can confidently say it is not worth the money even as cheap ($35) as we got out there for. I would never recommend this course to anyone. Also this really shouldn't mean anything but they didnt even have carts ready for us when we got there so that was my first tip that this might not be the most professionally run golf course.

If groups are falling behind pace and playing slowly it is absolutely the golf courses fault. They are in charge of everything that happens on that course. There is no excuse for them allowing that. Well run courses monitor the pace of play and ask you to pick up the pace if you are behind schedule.
if the people who play in front of you are just slow and don't know how to play its not the courses fault. You could have said something and there. done.
In all fairness to the course, the reviewer was playing on a Saturday in season. Almost every central Florida course is this way in those conditions.
