They have spruced up the course quite a bit. But they might have opened too early. All the sodded areas are very bumpy. I believe all the improvements were maintenance that should have been done during normal operation years. It's pretty much the same course, just a little pricey.

Just re-opened

Played here many times. The conditions have improved a lot. Greens are very slow. Not worth $80. $45.00 is acceptable. They are working on it though.

Day out golfing

we had not been to Mystic Dunes for a number of years, they are carrying out big changes and the greens have had a lot of work.

we enjoyed the golf course but for the money we paid we felt the course was not in good enough condition.

I would not rush back until he has settled down.

Open too soon

Played the course- opened way too soon after the revamp- greens are way too slow - whole sections of fairway not meshed in. It will take at least 6 months before they should be charging $90

Coming back

I played Mystic in May of 2019, was aware that during and through covid the course was in rough shape. About a year ago I drove on the highway behind what is now #12 and saw the state, was really looking bad. I swore off trying it until I heard if the Hilton rebrand and renovations that were happening. Kudos to the team trying to bring this gem back, layout is phenomenal, and what they have done so far is clear evidence that there will be future success. This course will test your shot making ability, and the greens can easily end up in 3-4 putts, extreme challenge. Do support this place, I recommend giving it another try.

Nice shape

I played Mystic Dunes yesterday, and it was nice to see the improvements. The new grass on the tees, fairways and greens is coming in nicely for the most part, a few spots need a little bit of time to mature. but otherwise a lot of nice work has been done. It’s nice to see Mystic Dunes back! Will definitely be back.

BEWARE!!!

I don’t normally post reviews but I feel I have to warn people about Mystic Dunes. I have played golf for over 40 years and consider myself a decent standard golfer. I’ve played golf all over the world and have played over 30 courses in the Kissimme/OrlandoI area. I decided to play Mystic Dunes and paid $89 to Golf Now to play this course. At that price I expected a really good standard of course however when I arrived to play it was anything but good. I would go as far to say it’s the worse condition golf course I have ever played. On arrival I was informed that the course had just reopened after extensive renovations and that work was still ongoing. On teeing off the tees were uneven and covered in bare patches. The greens were new and had beed sanded however the fringes around the greens were either bare or had been newly laid and not bedded in with large gaps between the patchwork of turf. The fairways were patchy and the bunkers were badly maintained and in need of new sand. I endured the first 5 holes having to give myself a preferred lie on almost every shot before giving up. I went back to the pro shop for a refund and as I had booked on Golf Now they said I had to contact them and wouldn’t give me a refund. I have since emailed Golf Now however they have not been in touch with me regarding any refund or to resolve this. In my opinion this course should not have been opened in its current condition and certainly shouldn’t be charging almost $90 to play. I would not recommend this course to anyone in its current state. There are far better courses in the area for less money.

Significant improvements

New sprigging of greens, fairways and tee boxes, and lots of cleanup of overgrown trees that obstructed views while also limited airflow. Fairways coming together but require more growth, fourth hole CPO. Greens 100% better but a bit slow. Material course improvements, same great staff (Pedro) and renovated pro shop, restaurant and clubhouse.

Course Redone

Just finished complete course renovations. Restaurant and pro shop also upgraded

Greens are 100 percent better than before.

Tee boxes are good, still growing in.

Fairways are about 90 percent. Recent rain and cooler temps will have them great in a couple of weeks.

If you played this course before, come and check the improvements now.

Practice greens were redone, along with driving range.

Thank you for taking the time to review the course. We just began a major renovation that includes:- Resurfacing greens to be restored to their original shape and size with Tif-Eagle Bermuda grass.- Level and re-grass tees, fairways, and rough using Celebration Bermuda grass.- Overhaul and restore bunkers and dunes to their original shape and condition.- New driving range tee, chipping, and putting green, all enlarged and resurfaced.- Improve and repair drainage throughout the course.- Significant tree enhancements around the property with native trees and wildlife. We hope you'll join us for another round after the renovation is complete!

Course condition

The course was starting a 3 month renovation the day after I played. All the fairway and green grass had been deliberately killed to enable the renovation process, therefore the course should not have been open. A waste of time and money.

Most disappointing.

The course should not hsve been open at all. The grass on the fairways and greens was already dead as the course is to be completely redeveloped and as I understsnd it has now been closed until September. I sjould have been warned in advance when I booked hat it was most unsuitable but was not. I was extremely disappointef with what used to be am excellemt course and one day later this year may be again.

Course is going to be closed on the 15th and all the grass had been killed. They should have closed it when they did that. It was a notification on GolfNow, but it was hard to see and I didn’t look at it.

Will be renovated

For what I've heard, the course will be renovated. Current conditions are poor as the grass is all dead and brown including greens. There's a lot of sand to get into, I guess the dunes. I'm not a fan of Gary Koch's greens. Extremely undulating.. Electric carts with GPS. Still seemed to do a lot of walking even having a cart.

Rough shape

Played this course a bunch of times over the years. Very unique and quirky layout. Would not want to play it every day but a nice change of pace. WHEN it is in good shape. It is however in very rough shape right now. As bad as I have seen it. Not worth it when it is in this condition
