Mystic Dunes, a Hilton Vacation Club

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.

We got a deal on Groupgolfer for $59 which seemed a good deal when similar tee times that day were $100 but unfortunately not the case! It soon transpired that we were playing behind a 5 ball, none of whom were very good which made them even slower. The starter explained at length how the course was like a links course so pitch your ball short of the green, when in fact balls were stopping where they pitched so he was well informed!! The greens were poor with massive patches under repair and as for the pin positions - on one hole you putted the ball uphill inches past the hole and it rolled back 10 feet towards you!! Not a great experience, had much more fun at a couple of other, much cheaper courses nearby.

I would rate it overall a four out of five stars. It had been a year since my group last played and two holes in we remembered why we don’t play it often. While the layout is excellent as is the maintenance the slopes of the green s are extreme. Three putting for a mid to high handicap golfer should be expected. Flatter greens would make this course a must play course.

Course is being worked on and the greens still need time. Some tee boxes need work as well.

Had fun and worth the $60.

Mystic Dunes was absolutely flawless. I was told that it’s currently under new management over the last year couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Greens were in great shape. Definitely wasn’t overplayed. Great scenery. Loved it!

Course was great. Loved the challenging greens. Fairways were open. Not being chased or delayed. Great pace of play. Fairways were good conditions. Greens played fast.

Never saw the cart girl even after speaking to the pro shop n starter. Resort greens fees with no caring about the golfers. Greens were fast but some were in poor condition.

Not worth the money. No effiort to acknowledge our request. Never again. Too many choices.

Sad to see the greens have so many bad patches! Last year came back to play and was great....I hope this is not the start of a continuous decline!! Played two other course in the area and their greens were great??? What's up?

Played it with 11 other players. Caught up to a very slow foursome after 11 holes. Really slowed down a great pace.. Course in great shape. Greens fast, fairways in great shape . We will be back.

2-3 really bad green…

2-3 mickey-mouse green with rediculous slope

Feel we got robbed

2-3 greens in realy bad shape

2-3 greens Mickey-Mouse style with crasy slope

Pace was bad, we waited every holes on the back mine

Useless Marshall

We have stayed on property 10 years ago. Slot of reviews mention course was better than in the last few years. It is just as I remember it! Play it, you will love it!

Great layout and great course

Pros - LOT better condition from when I played it a few months ago. Greens roll true, one or two holes needing some work on the greens. Tee boxes and fairways were good and great amenities.

Cons - pace of play. Had an 8:20 tee time and unfortunately had a group of hackers right before us.. hitting almost two off the tee and about two holes behind the next group. Skipped the group and a hole, letting us finish in 3 hrs and 40 mins. Need some ranger enforcement.

All in all would return. Fun course.

My wife and I played Mystic Dunes as it was close to where we were staying. Reviews were mixed online. We thought the course layout was interesting. Plus point was that carts were not restricted to the cart path as per our previous two rounds at other courses this week. A couple of fairways on the front 9 needed a bit of TLC but the back 9 were fine. The greens had been top dressed a day to two before we played. Some greens were therefore faster than others which caught us out a couple times. This did not detract from our round as we are used to this on our home course in the UK. The greens had lots of slopes and borrows which was a challenge. The course was quiet. We will return on our next trip.

I hadn’t played Mystic Dunes in a few years due to deteriorating conditions, but it look to be on the track back. The layout is quirky and fun for the most part, a few holes are a little over the top but that keeps it fun. The greens, fairways, and tee boxes are in good shape for the most part. However, the outside service staff was very rude, they did not listen to the questions we were asking and did not answer any of them. They are the first and last people you see at a course, unfortunately they left a sour taste.

Great course ! Awesome challenging layout and very fun greens . Used rental clubs and they were pretty good would play again
