Course conditions could be better

The first 9 holes are very narrow and the ball sometimes jumps into the water. This is partly due to the fact that there is not much grass on the fairways and the ball then bounces on the bare earth.

The conditions on the second 9 holes are then better but on many tees is no grass.

The maintenance of the course still needs to be worked on.

Nice Value

Tee boxes on front 9 were trash. Back 9 was better. Greens ran nice and were in good shape. Nice sand in bunkers. Fairways decent. Great for $32.

Fun and challenging

We played Schalamar Creek a second time because we liked it so much after our first round. It is fun and challenging. The greens putt true, the sand in the bunker is clean and the tee boxes actually have grass. The staff is incredibly friendly, though the service at the bar/ counter is a bit slow. We will definitely play here again. Had a great time.

Good course

Enjoyed our day. Matched with single who was very nice. Pace of play slow as 4 teens ahead of us who insisted on playing blue when they should have played yellow. One played 3 balls on fairway. Not acceptable and they were not considerate enough to let us play through when we waited for them to hit the ball on par 3’s. No Marshall in sight at any time.

Nice community. Would play again, but not behind 4 teens who think they’re Tiger but more like Happy

Worth the drive.

Golf prices are way up in the Orlando area. Drove 40 minutes from the condo in Kissimmee to play here based on price. Less than 1/2 the price of a course 2 minutes from the condo. Strangely enough, the Illinois couple we were randomly paired with did the same thing as they have a house even closer to the same high price course. Schalamar was very playable and a good layout. Greens putted well. Tee boxes weren't in the best shape, but you are hitting the ball off a tee. Would play again

A Dirt Track

Tee boxes a mess, fairways no grass, too many wet areas. Management isn’t investing any money into the course. Wouldn’t play again for free.

Narrow fairways, good greens and tee boxes. Rough not overseeded, so, a little rugged. Lots of water, appealing layout. Game could be better without back problems

Enjoyable day

Not a long course but tight fairways and lots of water add to the challenge. Course was pretty dry with some sparse areas on the fairways. Tee boxes and greens were in good shape. Pace was a bit slow on our back nine which was a little disappointing.
