Mystic Dunes, a Hilton Vacation Club

We played Mystic Dunes yesterday and the course was in absolutely terrible shape. The greens were terrible and very inconsistent, fairways were dried up and terrible. This course has a superb layout and the greens are challenging, it makes you think a lot about your shots. The course is very very poorly maintained. To add, when we finished our round, the bag drop guy accused us of not replacing our divots with the containers provided. We absolutely did fix our divots, we’re experienced golfers and fix and/or replace our divots religiously. We had planned on going in for a bite to eat after the round, but those comments changed our decision very quickly. Not to mention, no one was at the bar mid afternoon to get a beer on the turn. I won’t be back to Mystic Dunes.

The course was is terrible shape. Greens are bad, fairways were brown and torn up. Definitely not worth the 120.00 price

Overall a solid course but the greens are kinda comical with crazy undulations and pin locations more apt for a Sunday competition than a weekday morning. Multiple greens were burned out and no grass in spots.

Was mostly well maintained and staff was great.

The hotdog at the turn was sad, but hit the spot anyway.

I love the layout of the course, but the conditions are atrocious. We have a home in Windsor Hills next door so we play Mystic almost every time we come to visit from Maine because it is right next door. I’ve been playing the course for 15 years and I’ve never seen it in worse shape. To pay $80 for nine holes on a Thursday and play on those terrible greens is unacceptable. The bunkers are horrible - dirt rather than sand. It’s painfully obvious that little to nothing is being invested into course upgrades and maintenance. It could be so much better, but we won’t pay $80 again for 9 holes with those poor conditions. Pretty sad, really. On top of it all the pace of play was awful. We played behind a foursome so bad they couldn’t play miniature golf in under 6 hours.

I played the course 2 days in a row. Very challenging greens with undulations and some two tiered. Difficut to hold greens, but better on second day.

The course was burnt out. Greens were in poor shape. They were so dry, nothing would stay on . It wasn’t a very good looking course as well,and for the price we paid it was Terrible.

This track is in mint shape! Played here twice in the past week. We played here several years back and it was decent , but nowhere near the level it’s at now! The course is in great shape from beginning to end. Greens are fast and challenging. Fairways are tremendous . The started and rangers are extremely friendly and pace of play has been great. Highly recommend !

Decent course. Price is a little high for the conditions At the moment. Everybody at the course was great except the pro shop. Why they have to be so rude and unwelcoming I’ll never understand. Would play again for a hot deal price only.

Nice golf staff, pro shop and starter very nice. Pro shop was good and had actually some nice hats and logo was cool.

Here comes the bad.

Putting green was horrible. Holes hadn’t been moved in a while so putting around holes was chewed up. Greens were slow. Ok I can live with some slowness. Then I got to course and it got worst. First hole I was like that’s a lot of bumps and slopes but ok.

Second hole was a joke. Putting green was a a joke. The slopes and bumps and slopes were not puttsble. The just kept getting dumber, with more tiers and slopes and peaks in the middle of the greens and sloping off every where. By the time I played 8th hole I wish I didn’t come

To this course and waste time and money . This course needs new greens. Then the quality if the overall grass and maintenance was terrible. It needs a lot of TLC for grass. Layout also poor. I have been coming to play golf in Orlando for 20 years and will never play this course again.

I wanted to come play this to give people and honest review . I have play every course in the greater orlando area. Hilton bought this course back in 2023 and killed th entire course and promise a great renovation. Sadly it is the same old mystic dunes . For your value I will list every course in the area that is in much better condition . Providence , celebration , Orange County national , southern dunes , champions gate , white heron , royal Saint Cloud . I live here and have seen all the courses raise the rates over there years and since mystic is a resort course they can get away with it . It is a $50 dollar max course . It has a good layout with interesting holes but it just doesn’t play well . If you’re visiting and can only play a couple of courses you will be much happier playing some of the courses I mentioned above .

Had the pleasure of playing Mystic Dunes for the first time. I booked the time as a single joining a 3-ball & called the golf shop to see if my partner could ride along with me and they accommodated with no issue.

Once I got to the course they even moved things around so I can play on my own on a busy Sunday which I thought was very nice. Pace of play was surprisingly extremely quick given I was a single & they were very busy.

Very fun layout. Greens roll true & fast. Always nice playing a track where you get to use all of your clubs. Par 3s really make you think about your approach. All staff greeted us with a smile and were very nice. Definitely will be coming back next time I am in the area.

Everything was nice- course in good shape- gets a bit backed up in the pm on tha back 9- can’t be helped- tricky course. Will play again

I want to like this course despite having a couple of goofball greens. I have played it a few times when visiting Orlando. The first time was right after some course renovations and I could understand the conditions. I think spring is a tough time to judge course conditions in Orlando but there are courses (like Grande Vista) that know how to do it. Every time I finish a round, the same cart guy (very friendly) gives me the same song and dance about how the course was recently renovated. This time I told him it has been 2 years and they need to change their sad story. Anyway the course is a bit far from where we stay in Orlando and maybe not worth the drive. If you play, be aware the 18th hole is very difficult...it is really hard to keep a driver in play if you have any length...I cannot play driver there. A good tee shot is rewarded with a very long approach into a narrowing tree tunnel to the green. Do not miss right! Par is a good result on that hole.

Loved the layout of the course but our group of Canadians was sadly disappointed at the condition of the course, in comparison to the others we played, especially considering the price comparison. We are deciding to not book again for 2026, regrettably.

We played on Monday 12/29. Starter said the course was busy but is moving at a 4 hr pace. Well 5 1/2 hours later we finished our round. We wait for a five some on ever hole. And they were playing behind another 5 some. Course conditions were poor at best. Tee’s and fwys were mediocre at best, while the greens are not good at all. Large bare spot with no grass and just sand. Not a place you want to spend $100 for a round of golf and get this product. Save your money if you plan on golfing here. This is a Hilton property and I am a Hilton diamond lifetime member and play Hilton properties all over the country. This is by far one of the worst I have played.

I played this course several times and love the course and layout. Conditions are not always the best but I can look past that is the layout is good. But I was really disappointed the last round I played. It took 5 hours to play 16 holes, on a Monday!

I quit after the 16th, one of the attendants said I should tell the pro shop. Well the person in the pro shop looked me at me like I had 3 eyes. Didn’t say a thing, no apology, no rain check, nothing.

That’s a really poor attitude. For as much as I like the course, will not go back.

The staff was very friendly and the course was in nice shape for the most part. The tee boxes and fairways were in great shape considering there has been little to no rain the last couple of months. The pace of play was great, we played 18 in right at 4 hours. Unfortunately, there were a number of greens that had numerous large patches with no grass, only sand/dirt showing and unfortunately the cup was around these areas so you had no choice put to putt through them. Was able to purchase the rounds through Group Golfer for $59 each and that was a fair price, would not pay the current rack rate to play the course.

The course is not in good shape, needs a lot of work. The layout of the course is great, holes are designed well with a couple driveable par 4's if you're a big hitter. The grass was not in good shape with lots of bare spots and a few of the greens were in need of some TLC. The bunkers look like waste bunkers even though they aren't with the darker way too firm sand for being in Florida. This course is no way a good value for cost especially since this is a Hilton property. Even the logo ball needs an overall in design.
