My Consideted Home Course

The course is great but has some construction overflowing on to the golf course affecting 3 holes if play (16, 17, and 18). The adjacent hotel aid doing some expansion that rerouted the three holes on the back none. The greeting from the parking lot, checkin, free range balls, ice water given by the starter, what else can you say but fantastic. Cart girl has refreshments and at the end when returning the cart you are greeted with a cool wet towel to refresh yourself with. Love this course.

Golf Stay and Play

We did a golf stay and play 5/13-5/15. Staff from the starters to the clubhouse to the bar are all fantastic! We really enjoyed our time playing at Waldorf. The only downside was the course conditions. The greens and fairways are not as nice as they were last year, a lot of discolored patches on the greens and all over the fairway. Caught us off guard since last year the course was absolutely beautiful. The surrounding area and nature preserve is still beautiful and the construction was not bad at all, they did a great job creating new holes. They mentioned they are doing a lot of renovations to the course over the next two years, can’t wait to see what’s it’s like after!

Nice course until home 13

The course is nice and on a hot deal is even better (Paid $100)… the issue i had is that after around hole 13 the course is completely changed due to construction on the property so none of the gps’s or yardages work to include my watch, the ones in the cart or the yardages on the cards . So like i said nice course, well maintained, great staff, but the bait and switch of not letting you know that the last third of the course is jacked up due to them losing a significant part of their real estate to expanding the hotel is a let down to say the least. If i paid the full $160 I would probably have been more upset.

Not a good value

This course has no parking to start with. After that we had to hit off mats which was really disappointing since we needed a good warm up after not playing for a while. Greens were extremely slow. Holes 17 and 18 are temps. This would have been ok if we knew all of this up front and we received a lower price. The dining is very limited and poorly staffed. I would not recommend playing here at full price. Maybe half price. Very disappointed.

Nice Course

I really enjoyed playing here today and the staff was fantastic. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was that they cut two par 5’s down to make it a par 70 to build more hotel space and the signature hole surrounded by bunkers that was in the pictures of the course I never saw it which was one of the reasons I chose this course. Overall I still would recommend playing here thanks.

Reconstructed

The Course lost its character on the back nine now that they eliminated both par 5’s and turned them into short par 4’s to make room for another hotel. The course is now just a par 70.

Great course ruined by construction

Played the course many tiles I’ve the last 10 years. It was my favorite Orlando course. When we arrived yesterday we we asked when we played last and did we know about the changes on the back 9. The course is rerouted and shortened to accommodate additions to the convention center thru 2024.

The pace of play was great until the three group backup at the par 3 13th.

I will wait til 2024 to try again.

Windy weather

Sand traps were flooded and at least two holes were under construction

We played W-A in Feb. 2021 and had a great time. We paid a premium price ($200+) per round and were disappointed to find most of the bunkers flooded. If you landed in a greenside bunker, you were likely to lose your ball because the water in them was deep and murky. The last par 3 was under construction with contrived tee boxes and hole 17 was reconfigured and shortened as it appears that the course is being encroached upon for hotel construction. While the staff was great, the course was more comparable to $130 courses in the Orlando area rather than a premium course.

Great course

For the course being laid out in a small area they did a great job making the holes independent from each other. Greens rolled great and were consistent every hole. Will definitely be playing this course again.

Caveat Emptor

Conditions were nice, however, this course is not the Par 72 advertised. Currently there is a major construction project that’s going to be ongoing until 2024. This has resulted in the two par 5s on the back nine being chopped into a par 4 and par 3, with the second par 5 chopped down to a par 3 and 1/2, really a 240 yard par 4. Par 70 is the total. This results in a shorter than advertised, architecturally compromised, course. I understand these kinds of modifications are necessary to accommodate construction, but they should be advertised. GolfNow should do a better job of ensuring accurate information on their site, but this kind of in attention to detail is par for the course for GolfNow. Also, the course being adjacent to a construction site, means there’s a lot of heavy equipment noise, as if the proliferation of Bluetooth speakers on the links isn’t enough. Again, I know construction and course impacts are necessary from time to time, the paying public should be properly warned before shelling out big bucks to play. Had I known of these impacts prior to arriving at the course, I would have gone elsewhere. Bunkers were washed out as well, a function of recent heavy rain, however, the rain wasn’t solely responsible for the bad bunkers. Many need sand replenishment.
