A must play if you’re in the orlando area

This course is always in great condition. Courses has Undulating fairways, nice water views from the tees and greens are elevated and guarded by traps.

Get there early, good practice/warm up facilities. And...The staff is friendly and professional to top things off.

As beautiful as it is tough!

I love playing this course so that I’m reminded how I’m really not all that good! Visually stunning, this Orlando gem of a course will eat you alive if you can’t keep it in the short stuff. It’ll humble your handicap in ways that no other course in Orlando will yet will still leave you with enough scoring opportunities to relish the challenge and keep coming back for more.

You must play this course

I assumed this would be a typical resort course - how wrong can you be . It's a real tough layout but really worth playing. It was in fantastic condition and a course that I will come back to play

Amazing course! Worth every cent to play here

This as my first time playing here and it won’t be my last. The course was in pristine condition and looked incredible. The staff was extremely hospitable and helpful. The only negative aspect of my experience was there was no range master/course inspector driving around checking in on pace of play etc. There was this group ahead of my group and they took 5 practice swings on each shot and they acted like they were on the PGA tour. And they were terrible golfers. Each of their shots went only 80 yards. And to make it worse they had a kid with them and the kid got out and was playing in the sand traps. I was very aggravated with their pace of play. There needs to be an official from the course assuring pace of play is being followed.

Challenging course in excellent condition

The Waldorf is always in excellent condition. It is a challenging layout with elevated greens and plenty of water. Not all amenities (restaurant/cart service) are open due to Covid, but the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

4 Sctratch Golfers Came to play

We all live here in Orlando and for 2 of my guys this was the first time they played . Course Conditions are as follows..... GREENS are very good , but not fast , they are running around a 8 on the Stemp ... Still rolling decent ... FAIRWAYS are perfect , not much roll but the ball sits up nice and may be a little wet in some areas but overall very good ... BUNKERS ... Perfect consistency in almost every bunker ... There is No cart girl running so bring something to drink and stay hydrated, they have water machine at the club house and on hole 9 but it’s very hot right now so I suggest bringing something with you .. We are going to come out again next week and play it again .. In my opinion it’s one of the best layouts and best conditioned courses in Central Florida ... We played the blues and it played very fair ... We will play it again soon

Best maintained, but low on challenge.

So, as you will see from the other reviews, this could be about the best (or close to it) maintained course you will set foot on and it has some very nice natural views. Green speed was average but true. I think I saw one spot next to a green that had some spotty fungus or something, beyond that, it's darn near perfect. My only negative was the challenge. I didn't find it very challenging at all. Most holes are pretty straight, so if you hit straight, it's pretty simple. They do have bunkers in some strategic places which I did find (first time there, so didn't know the place), but beyond that, it's flat, not a ton of water and not many doglegs. They have a $60 rate right now which I would say is about right. For me, it's not interesting enough for the usual $100+, but the course conditions are well worth that price. So, if you want a perfectly maintained course and a nice low score, this is perfect.

Cant get over the condition / value

Ive been if central florida since mid feb. i can tell you im staying in reunion which has 3 private courses. They are considered the best of the best. I would disagree. 195$ a round here and 60-80$ at the waldorf? Its in as good of shape as i ever seen a late spring course in florida.

You will not regret it. Take it from a guy whos played 60-70 rounds spreading out over central florida in the past few months. For 20$ more then falcons fire thats about to be a 3 star course at best or mystic dunes gone to crap, its 20$ more then providence which in its glory is crap course!!! Trust me goooo. Enjoy :) thk me later....
