Reunion
Strange policies.. cashless so tough to tip bag people. They take your drivers license and scan it at gate to verify you..invasive in world of identity theft.. should just match up id with name on tee sheet..why do you need to scan my drivers license into your stydten????pro shop pro was unfriendly and rude.
Annoying……people using cart paths as bike paths while trying to play golf. Pro shop aware of it but could care less about policing it…Bag drop girl was a sweetheart though.
Nice layout..above average conditions but not great..good practice facilities…overall the resort and course seemed uncaring..understaffed and complacent..no one going out of way to please customer. Everyone seemed burnt out with their job. No longer the prestigious resort it once was.
Great course! Played the Watson. Awesome staff.
Was a little slow, but that’s to be expected because it’s a resort. Overall great experience. Tom Watson did a great job with the design. Lots of hills.
One of a kind round!
Being a Central Florida local, this course has been on my radar for awhile now. Played with a group of friends yesterday and we were all blown away! The course is in excellent condition overall and it certainly was a challenging and unique layout.
We never once felt rushed during our round and the staff were all top notch. Everyone we dealt with made us feel like resort guests and were a pleasure to deal with.
Already looking into coming back and playing the other courses here, what a gem!
Awesome!!
This a a great course. Greens are incredible, so pure! Pace of play was perfect 3.5 hrs for 18. Perfect condition with a nice practice area. Will definitely be back. This might be my favorite Orlando area track!!
Hard to do better
The whole resort as fantastic! Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, greens all in very good shape. No complaints anywhere about the course itself. Staff was nice. This place is top shelf. If you spray the ball I would recommend playing the Palmer. A lot more space to work with. The Watson has some tight fairways. You won’t be disappointed here. I think I paid $69. Worth every penny.
Good golf
Course was well taken care of and the staff was very helpful. Saturday play got bogged down but was still better than other courses I have played.
Excellent course. Very challenging
The Watson course is in excellent condition tee to green. It is a test with its length and tricky greens. Would definitely play here again.
Slowest round i have ever played
Something is not right when you tee off and by the 3rd hole it is backed up with two foursomes in front of you waiting on tee box. Had to play the rest of round waiting 10min a hole to tee off. Called pro shop on 3rd to report and they were to send someone out. Never saw anyone. Made for a terrible round. Off at 11:40. Finished at almost 5::30. Can’t say anything good about anything else waiting 10min to hit ever shot. Mid-Morning weekend or not. Should never happen
Fun day
The tee boxes need a lot of work fairways in good shape greens lightning fast some patchy spots and people need to fix there ball marks played through 2 groups by the 5 th hole and thetas course to myself my biggest complaint is no carts in the parking lot had a very long walk to my car afterwards but other than that will play again
Very good but
Rough around the edges re waste areas and residential construction. Takes away from scene. Way above average for central Florida.
Great course
Had a lot of fun. Perfect conditions but lots of bunkers. Highly recommended.
Extremely fun round
Loved the layout of course with sloped fairways and double tiered greens. Greens ran a bit slow as they were recently punched but ball still rolled well. Pace of play excellent even after a morning tournament.
Watson Course
Course was in great condition, great experience, they have plenty of water, staff was very nice, pace of play was great. The course is difficult, but had 5 sets of tees to choose from. Driving range may need some work.
I highly recommend this course!
