course, was in great shape

Played this course many times. Course is in really good condition now with the start of the rainy season. There are a couple of greens that have a few weeds on them, but for the most part, the greens are in great shape. Fairways have grass.

When Will It Improve?

Every year, I play K Bay at least one time annually to see if it has improved. Every year, I leave with muddy shoes and aggravation. We had a little bit of rain, first rains of the season last week, and found nothing but mud. This course just doesn't drain or dry out. Some greens were fantastic, some were terrible. So much potential, just never delivers. The golf cart had a huge chunk ripped out of the seat, no beverage cart on the course, no water throughout. I badly want this course to be what it can be, but sadly, it fails to impress. Pro Shop associate was VERY friendly and cordial, thank you for that.

Kissimmee Bay is a nice course with a good layout. It is reasonably priced. The recent rains have helped this course green up. A couple spots on the greens but generally a good place to play.

1st time golfing Florida

Fine course for the money. 1st couple greens were a bit rough but course is nice. Lots of water but not too much that comes into play. I'd do it again.

Course conditions continue to improve

This is the second time within the last couple of weeks that I played this course. The conditions are approving as we get more more rain. Definitely worth the $10 I paid to pay.

I was pleasantly surprised

I have played this course many times. Course was in better shape than I had anticipated. There are a few greens that has a mixture of weeds in grass. For the most part, the greens were in pretty good shape, and the fairways had grass. Great value for the money paid.

Worst greens I have ever played

The greens on the front nine were unplayable. There was more sand on the greens than in the bunkers. Patches of nothing but dirt. The sand traps should be called mud traps. Again unplayable. The area has some beautiful homes and if I owned one of them I’d be suing someone the condition of this course was just plain hideous live and learn I guess. One and done! The burger was good

Fun course with great value

Played in the summer heat so it’s no surprise you can play quick here. Usually can play 18 in 2:15 or so. Cart is free which is pretty standard for central Florida. Course conditions standard for a muni in cf. Playable fairways, greens look good but play slow, except for 1 is pretty beat up. Staff is helpful and friendly.

My tee time cost $27 but I got a deal on golf now app. 18 under $30 is a steal for any course that is playable like this. I’ve played similar courses for $45. The only thing I’d say is it’s out of the way for most people being located in Kissimmee south west of Orlando but if you’re in the area or you have time to make the drive and get good gas mileage it’s worth a play. Has some interesting holes, a par three on the back nine has ~15-20 elevation from the tbox to the green with foliage in front so you can’t Mis hit and accidentally roll the ball up to the green. Lots of holes have forested areas flanking the fairway leading to the green so you get good practice punching out and cutting around trees from a leafy lie. Course is lacking water coolers but everything else is pretty standard. They have a nicely decorated pro shop and bar with a patio. The kitchen puts out decent food which is not so common at neighborhood courses like this.

Altogether I have made the 45 minute drive here to play twice now, I think I’ll probably be back again sometime.

3rd time is the charm?

This is the 3rd time I've played on this course because of the price I paid with a discount $28. First, my partner and I had a 7:52am tee time and there were about 10 people ahead of us which said they had tee times 2 or 5 minutes apart from ours. I knew they were lying and no staff checking tee times. Very disorganized on that matter. My partner and I decided to start from the back nine instead to fix the problem and only then, we get someone from the staff come after us because we were going to the back nine. If he was doing his job from the beginning this would not happen. After explaining to him the situation, he understood and sent us and three others to the back nine. After that early morning fiasco, it was the usual, the fairway was nicely kept but, some of the greens needed attention and looked like I was putting from the rough. All in all, for the money I can't complain. But if find any other course for a comparable price, I will pick the other course because of the aforementioned reasons.

GolfNow price good

The drought has hurt the tee boxes and fairways. Greens on front 9 have weeds and noway to putt well. Lots off water and almost on 75% of holes.

Go have fun

This is a course that is challenging and fun but is experiencing some problems with their greens. With improved greens this course would be great. Bunkers and sand trap are very playable and ubiquitous. Lots of water to keep you focused. We had a great time. We would be willing to pay more once the greens are nicer.

Like many courses Kissimmee Country Club likely has seen better days.

Rate based on late afternoon rate

Club appears to lack the capital for returning to better days. First 3 greens very patchy with bare spots. Traps not sand based in several instances. Fairways, heat has left minimal grass
