Played 5 rounds at 4 different courses through our 8 day stay and by far this was the best shape of all. Greens and fairways were lush. A little softer fairways than I would have liked, but expected as they had over-seeded for the winter grasses. Staff was awesome. Valet, bottled water, practice balls, GPS all included. Discounted replay as well. No additional charge for my non golfing girlfriend.

Best course I've played in a long time

We have played a lot of courses at home in the DFW, TX area, and none match this course. The range has a great setup for irons, but not so much for working on your driver. This and the lack of availability for a post-round practice session on the range were the reason I knocked 1 star off the amenities.

As for the course itself, it was outstanding. We played from the 2nd tees from the back, and while it was a challenge, it was not out of line hard. The greens were firm and very smooth, so once we got the putting speeds down, they were fair. The service staff was great, and we saw the beverage cart at least 4 times in a very fast 18 hole round that we finished in 3:35.

Bring back amenities.

We always enjoy the Waldorf golf club, but the lack of amenities killed the experience. We planned on having lunch at the club ( not open). No cart girl on course. Won’t be back until they are fully open. Stop with the COVID restrictions! People play golf to escape the shut downs.

Golf in December courtesy Orlando, FL

Now I live here (moved about 3 years ago) but it’s great to be able to play in 68 degree weather in December at a premier course. Although not cheap, compared to the Ritz, which is a similar price point, I think this is a lot more value for money. The course layout and condition are the biggest differentiators. You can get some good deals on Golfnow as well to soften the fees.

Great Course to Play

I played the course last year and had such a terrific time that it was the first stop on my return this season. The course is amazing the practice facilities are first rate and the staff is warm and friendly. I highly recommend the Waldorf-Astoria course

Challenging yet Pricey!

This is a very challenging course given its many water and dry-land hazards; narrow fairways; unforgiven high-lip bunkers. Overall conditions can be said pristine. However, it's pricey at season times based on what it can offer. The course offers about 15-minute pre-round complimentary range times but it doesn't allow any post-round; something that I have never seen in any course that offers a complimentary range. Given the high premium, complimentary valet parking, and bag handling, how can you so stingy on the range? Although there are many near-by quality courses that offer similar course conditions, services, and challenges; this is still a recommended one.

Place is a joke

For half the price you can play minutes away at a far better course in Shingle Creek. Random greens in the middle of 2 fairways, ridiculously overpriced, and was not allowed to use the range after the round. Explanation was that it was too short and only for hotel guests ??? Not sure what that’s supposed to mean when we did not stay on property and were allowed to hit unlimited balls prior to our round. Will not be back.
