This course is nice 9 hole course. The course was in very nice shape….mostly par 3’s…..a good test for the short game……

Starter controls players coming around the first turn to play the 9 holes again.

First time playing and I loved the course. It’s pretty short but it was a perfect practice course for an amateur like myself. It was challenging but not too difficult.

Nice 9 Hole

Slightly challenging, fun to play. A lot of water hazards but most can be avoided. Play twice for 18 holes.

Good Round

When you live in Florida, you need to get out early to get so the round is doable to play in because after a while it gets hot. I went out at 7am with another party and I had a great time. I would play this course again.

Would have! loved to finish round with lunch

We always play on Sundays and cap off the round with lunch! Got the clubs loaded and sat at the bar and was told they only have the buffet! $44 dollars...all we wanted was a burger and beverage...$44 dollars was the only option...we decided to go to Buffalo Wild Wings and there were a few other golfers that were members and they did the same thing...The buffet, while might be good...it is more then we want ...not a date not a special occasion just lunch after a round...the Grill left money for lunch for 6 people on the table and were happy to see us go...add a few a la cart items...maybe a condensed menu for just this! And maybe we spend all the money at Grand Vista!

Crowded

I should know better than to expect a resort course to have a decent pace of play. Otherwise it’s in great shape.

Would be a decent value at $20

Wow!

Local Orlando golfer who rarely gets to this side of town to golf - since I have 5-10 top tier Orlando tracks substantially closer.

That said, looked on GolfNow to find something different to play on a day off - and found an awesome deal for Grande Vista and an excuse to play somewhere new

What a treat! Course is in resort conditions - probably the best conditions around for a public course. Fairways and greens were both in awesome shape.

Course isn't super crazy or complex - but there's enough in terms of hazards to require you to hit good shots. Multiple of the 9 holes have you carrying water.

Played 18 - went around twice - and pace of play was fine. As a single, was paired with another single on the first tee for the first 9, then when that gentleman finished his 9, played a few holes alone before another single joined up for the last few holes. Finished my 18 in a little under 3 hours.

Overall, very very pleased with the experience here. If I lived closer, would absolutely buy a membership here. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend!!
