Reunion Resort - Watson Course

This is third time I played this club, I enjoyed the Nicholas and Palmer course , I guest it’s summer time in Florida , Watson course’s condition is not a grade A condition course for the price paid.

It’s almost 8-10 years since I played last, the staff there always not friendly, from the bag drop, Proshop to starter, my friends and I never feel welcome there.

My husband and I was looking into join Reunion over 10 years ago, we like the fact they have 3 courses as we are a member of 3 courses in PA, we contacted the club , we get a very poor experiences with the staff. It’s the shame , the staff there still have unfriendly rudely attitude.

We locals wait for public tee times to become available each year at Reunion so I jumped on the opportunity to play the Watson course. Not worth it. Not only do they not disclose that the greens were recently pin hole punched and are still healing (sloooow) but it is obvious that the maintenance quality of the course in general has gone downhill. Not nearly as manicured and top tier as it has been in the past. Do not recommend.

183 bunkers on this course and 0 water. Fairways hard and packed, greens that don't hold and bunkers and sand pits everywhere. For the price it is not worth it. I am not afraid of sand but can I get a little fairway with a nice fluff or something close ? Very disappointed for $231.

Greens were slightly bigger than Nicklaus course but 0 were flat(ish). and then you rolled off into a trap. Not for the beginner or high handicapper.

Super below average. Clubhouse is an absolute confusing mess to locate after having to park on the far side of the hotel with no cart shuttle/pickup. Starter seemed totally out of sorts, not friendly/welcoming. Rental clubs were in trash condition (outdated Apex irons, no head covers thus dinged up) . Greens were decent (would roll about 8 on stimp) but poor course conditions given the high price. We waited on nearly every hole. Overall, not a good value for a declining course.

Worst thing of the day…..saw the cart person ONCE all day.

Rest of the day was great. Course conditions were really good. Greens were perfect. Saw a few previous reviews about how slow and uncut the greens were on Watson. Definitely not the issue now. Not lightning fast but def quick. Great shape. Other than a few weed areas in the fairways the course was excellent. IMO, the best of the 3 courses here by FAR. Great layout. Great look off of each tee box. Range was good. Personnel was super friendly. At the off season rates right now, this course is almost a bargain around Central Florida. Highly recommended.

Nice course greens was too long needed cutting and rolled fairways very good. The fact the greens was very slow and too long spoilt the game.

Scratch golfer. Shot a frustrating 75 from the tips. A decent challenge on a fun layout. But maaaan, $90+ for greens that were cut too high, not rolled, and thus super grainy and ultimately too slow for the caliber of the resort was frustrating. I play better greens on many $25 public courses. This place is not worth the money they are asking. A birthday disappointment for sure. I bet things are top notch in the winter for the members. But the public and resort guests are being somewhat ripped off in the summer. Green fees should be $65 absolute max unless the greens are fast, true and perfect. No real golfer cares about anything else.

Golf Course was in fantastic condition, staff were very friendly. The pace of play was not bad. I would definitely recommend this course.

No Marshall's. Had up to 3 groups at a time waiting to tee off. Slowest round I have played in years

The course was in good shape. The fairways and tee boxes were in goo shape. The greens were almost over the work done on the greens which took place a week of so before we played. Overall the pace of play was good as we finished in just under 4 hours,

Reunion is one of those golf courses that do things properly. It starts with a meet and greet, taking you clubs to your allotted cart at the starters hut. Helpful friendly starter, great range with free balls. Courses are in fabulous condition and well manicured. They can be as challenging as you wish with good tee box distribution. Just a great day out and worth the money. Just one disappointment- the less formal clubhouse restaurant closes at 5pm. Would have been nice to have eaten our evening meal there after golf.
