Shingle Creek Golf Club

Down here for a few weeks and playing a few rounds of golf. Played this course a couple years ago and enjoyed it and remember it was in great shape. Was not disappointed this time. Greens were outstanding. Perfect speed. Played early in the morning and finished in less that 3 hours.

It's unacceptable for a course that is a "hot deal" at $130 to require you to (1) ask the cart crew how to get ice, (2) head over to the concession before the round to get ice, (3) and instruct your concession workers to ask "Just ice? No drinks?". Insane money grab. No water bottles included at a resort course at this price point is ridiculous.

The pace of play is poor because the course is difficult and it's full of corporate golfers staying at the resort for a convention. Greens were fast, had large drop offs, multiple levels with big breaks, and pin locations near the edge. You need to not only know your approach numbers and be able to hit greens, but you need to place the ball in the right spot of the green or you're potentially 2 levels from the hole looking at a 3-putt. You need to be precise on your chipping, because the steep drop offs will have any short chips land back at your feet. Add this to a clientele who golfs a few times a year (if that) and you've got a 5 hour course, even with 10 minute tee time spacing. Every shot we were waiting, 5+ hour pace.

Carts had good padding. Power steering on the carts was weak. Cart GPS software was old, would not tell you where the cart shut off areas were, and did not feature green slopes. Carts were not auto parking break and the parking brake was a struggle to engage.

Course conditions were good, tee boxes were cut short, fairways were cut short, rough was dormant. Felt drier than other courses we played. Greens were fast and ran well. Layout was slight doglegs with some fairway bunkers to a greens that punish you if you do not hit them. No real target practice holes but you need to have good carry with your driver and the ability to shot shape. Fairly open course, trees surrounded the course but weren't in play on most holes.

I had the best lesson I’ve ever had with Devin. He explained “the why” behind all of the swing tips he gave me, which made them really make sense (and more memorable). Highly recommend this guy 10/10 A+

Greta course too.

Excellent course, fast true greens, teed off at 7:13 and was first in field.

Halfway house staff was amazing and the food aswell.

Very friendly staff in pro shop.

All round great resort.

Conditions were good for off-season. Pace of play was over 5 hours. Waited on every shot.

Five groups waiting on the 14th hole.

Phenomenal experience. Totally worth every penny. Will definitely be back any time I’m in Orlando. Keep up the great work.

Course was in great shape. Greens were extremely fast. Got lucky and had zero issues with pace of play. Some of the pin positions on the undulating greens were unacceptable considering the firmness and speed. Putt up a hill and it rolls back down or putt 18 inches past hole and end up 40 ft away. The course was nice but not sure it is the best value for $110. Would return but likely not at that rate. Too many $40-80 courses around. Probably paying for the location in Orlando. Friendly staff. Free range balls with tee time.

The female staff member in the club house was super friendly. We will be back for sure.
