Located southeast of downtown Orlando and about 25 minutes from Orlando International Airport, Harmony Golf Preserve is a secluded championship golf course set on 260-acre wildlife preserve and is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. Rated a Top 50 Public golf course in the Golf World Readers' Choice for 2010, the course was designed by Johnny Miller and is difficult enough from the championship tees to have hosted the 2007 Hooters Tour Michelob Ultra Classic, but features five sets of tee boxes. Harmony Golf Preserve is home to a full practice facility and driving range, full service dining in the Harmony Town Tavern, full locker room and shower facilities, as well as banquet facilities for large groups.

Fairways and tees need help

I haven’t played Harmony in about a year and it was in good shape back then. Today was not what I expected, The fairways have large areas with bare spots, had to move my ball a few times to find some grass. The tees are in just as bad shape with bare spots, greens are in good shape, a little on the soft side but had some speed to them. No problems with the staff, all were very friendly. Little pricey for the shape of the course….

Do Not waist your money on this course!

A couple of friends of mine came up from Lauderdale and we wanted to play Harmony, my friend never played this course. We were so disappointed, first the driving range was cut so low it looked like dirt, and the fact it never has been watered. There was no sand to fill divots nothing. the practice green was surrounded by bare dirt with no grass coming to the fringe. The course has a couple of cool holes, some challenging water and dog legs but we never expected what we found. From tee to green bare spots and wash outs that look like the course attempted to fix but failed miserably , they never added sod and looks like they are washing out again!. This course is in the absolute worst condition possible, the management should be fired for what they have done to this course. This is pure neglect! This is terrible, I have played here for 5 years and I have never seen anything like this before..

Horrible conditions

Back nine almost unplayable. Tee boxes are in a little better shape than a few weeks ago. However the fairways are just HORRIBLE.... if you can call dirt, no grass a fairway! If your tee shot lands in the middle of the "fairway" does not mean you will not be playing from hardpan dirt or dirt so chewed up by the sandhill cranes its similar to playing a sand shot.

Until these issues are address and corrected I would highly recommend playing another course. So sad as this was once a fantastic track!!

Not as bad as recent reviews

I play this course usually once a month but had not played since July.

The recent reviews had me a bit concerned as it was in pretty good shape in July.

The greens are in very good shape, There are some t-boxes where the grass is sparse but it was clear they are being worked on. In regards to the conditions of the fairways, particularly the back 9 while there are bad spots or sections due to damage by the various wildlife, when my ball landed in any of those areas i treated it like "ground under repair" and moved the ball to one side or the other. I did not experience any fairway that was unplayable, and only had to move my ball two or three times. Harmony is one of the more expensive courses I play in my rotation, but today's experience would not influence me to remove it from my course list.

Greens in great shape but the rest is struggling!

No one on the course so that aspect is nice, and greens are in great shape. But 65$ for the fairways and tee boxes which are in horrendous shape and summer prices is insane! Not sure how they haven't implemented 50%+ off due to conditions...hopefully they can recover the course as its a fun track to play.

Worst maintained course in Central FL

Fairways & tee boxes are mostly dirt. Good drive down the middle and your ball is sitting in loose dirt, second shot is like hitting from a bunker unless you give yourself relief. Back nine is almost unplayable. Greens are the best thing about this course, in pretty good shape! The rest of the course is just horrible. Do not waste your $. You can play other courses in better shape for less money.

Such a huge disappointment

This once great track is now a cow field with nice greens. The fairways are bare in large patches. Landing a ball in the fairway and it will not roll. It can't because it's covered in mud.

Nice greens, once you get the ball up there.

So sad this course has fallen

Well, the greens are great. Is you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all my mom would say.

So, at Harmony Golf Preserve...Well kept greens make for good putting.

What happened to this beautiful track otherwise? Muddy, barren fairways in which good drives stop short are the standard. Sand traps with no racks abound.

Frankly, it's a maintenance nightmare. If not for this, it would tick all the boxes, and that was my previous experiences here. Now, well, it's just a mess.

Awful conditions

Course fairways are in horrible condition. Tee boxes have patchy grass. Greens are the only area of this course in decent shape.

Wasted $$

Greens are the best thing on the course. Tee boxes are horrendous, no grass. uneven pits and sand. Fairways are absolutely horrible with dirt/sand areas throughout, so NO roll on tee or long fairway shots.

Recommendation - until conditions drastically change, DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$

For summer, expected more lush

As always staff was quite friendly. Advised that the local cranes worked the course over digging for bugs.

Great layout. With lots of rain in the area, expected lots of greenery. The cranes really have worked the course though. Many bald spots on fairways and other treated areas. I'm sure they're getting ready for snowbird season, but course was in pretty rough shape.

Tee box fair; fairways left some to be desired; greens in good condition with true reads and smooth surface.

Will be back, but likely closer to cooler weather temps.

Overall, a great course. Challenging enough to make you come back. The back 9 fairways are a little beat up from the birds, but not much to complain

Great greens, terrible fairways and tees

The greens are as good as anywhere in the area. Soft, true, pretty quick. But the fairways are in terrible shape. Tees are worse than usual.

They said they will be fixing things via overfeeding in October, so I guess I'll be back when things are improved.

Practically criminal

My brother-in-law and I played Harmony as part of 36 hole day after a morning at Royal St Cloud. He had played here once a while ago and has been trying to get me to play it for a year. What a gigantic mistake! To pay $45 after 3pm on a Saturday, and then find out how embarrassingly bad the conditions were was maddening. As a golfer who loves a good layout, it's practically criminal to let a good one like this turn to dirt and weeds. I've played some bad courses in my day, but I've never seen one charge such a ridiculous rate for the "privilege". Yes, the greens were decent. There is virtually no grass on the tees or fairways, and the greenery that's there is almost all weeds. The little bit of grass is all burned out brown. There are sizeable patches of up-turned dirt from the Sandhill cranes that were EVERYWHERE. Unlike some other commenters, I thought the staff was very friendly, and the pace of play was phenomenal, but that was because there was nobody there but us, and it was easy to tell why. We paid about the same amount of money for our morning tee time at RSC, and the experience was 100 times better. Don't waste your time, and don't believe the paid liars on here giving this crap five stars.

Awful fairways

$65 is well over priced for this course particularly during the summer. Pro shop person was not friendly at all and when we mentioned that the fairways were awful and that there was no cart girl he just blew it off without commenting. Don’t waste your hard earned money playing here until they repair the fairways!

Playable biut Disappointing

The course has taken a turn for the worse. The fairways are barren, with dirt all around. The Greens are in good shape. We last played here approximately a month ago, I don't know what happened. Will come back after they restore it to it's original condition.
