Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club by Diamond Resorts

Played on Saturday morning in peak season, and I’m not sure I’ve ever played a course in the Orlando are that was this bad of shape. Tee boxes are bare dirt, crab grass everywhere, grass growing in bunkers, and greens had not been recently cut.

It would have been over-priced at $45, hard to fathom they charged me $120 for this. This was the closest I’ve gotten to leaving on the first green and asking for a refund.

Really disappointing, avoid at all costs.

Course is due for a full overhaul in May 2023. Right now it is in very poor Cindy and greens are atrocious. At most it’s a $25 course until renovations are done

Course is in horrendous shape. Greens were dead and patchy with plenty of mud. Nothing on the course was maintained. Fairways were mud and sand, rough was dead pan, no beverage cart on the course and it was 90*. The pro was rude and not helpful. Putting green had 60% coverage with grass.

Worst conditions. Better off playing in a cow pasture.

I wouldn’t even play here for free

My friend and I played the course on Thursday March 23rd. We used hot deal points and I'm glad we did. I hot was for $60 round of golf mi us our poi ts and we were not impressed. Everyone hear me 'the course is shutting down in May to be redone so no one should be charged a full rate when right now they are just taking your money and they are not doing anything to help the golf course right now. Because of what I call deceit on mystic dunes behalf, I'm not sure I'll go back even after the course is redone. I mean I pay less than half what they are charging at my local courses and they are better than mystic. Very bad to be taking people's money when you the course is in bad shape. 👎 👎 👎

The course is in bad shape; tee boxes and fairways are dried out and beat up as well as some of the greens. I completely understand that the course is in preparation for a nice upgrade but…why not reduce the green fee while the course is in such bad condition? Very disappointing.

Conditions aside, the staff is friendly and does an outstanding job!

This course should be avoided at all costs. They have no irrigation at all, not watering. Don't plan to this year as they are ripping up course in fall. Every green and tee box was bare and full of weeds. This should have been made clear in clubhouse, but they don't care, none of the staff could care less. This course was close to where we were staying and looked great from the road. ALWAYS CHECK THE REVIEWS!!!! Very disapointed as came from Alberta and expected better for the price. They should be ashamed for ripping of golfer.

We played this course Pre-Covid and were very impressed with its conditions, although we found it somewhat challenging. Unfortunately, it has gone downhill. The layout is ok, but not sure what the deal is with the massive bunkers; the pace of play was reasonable but not fast. On the plus side, the staff was friendly, and the clubhouse looked awesome. Overall not worth the price.

Play here on Monday before flying back to the UK.

Played there 20 years ago and it was great so thought I would try it again. 109 dollars is an absolute disgrace as a review a few days ago said. Wouldn’t have paid 39 dollars. The Greens were not as bad as some earlier reviews and our final green the 9th was the best by far as if they wanted to give you one good green at the end.

But none had been cut that day.The fairways had very little grass. The waste bunkers were grown over and there was next to no rough just weeds.

We also ended up with 4 groups on the 1st tee our 10th hole and there were no rangers to sort this out and no beverage cart.

To be fair the Starter did warn us before we started that we would be disappointed I just wish the Pro Shop had said the same when I phoned up to book.

Hopefully the new owners will spend the money to bring it back to how it used to be as it was a great course.

Tees and fairways are in good shape. Greens are good but there are a few with weeds on them but still putt good. Course has come a long way in the last 6 weeks. Overall we had a good time playing here again. Staff on property both inside and out were great. I have attached a few pics of some greens for all the negative people out there that had a bad round and have to blame it on the course.

First of all, I generally hate reviews. This is actually the first one I have ever written. I find that most people pick out all the bad and forget the good. That being said, it still bothers me 4 days later, that I paid $$$ and wasted a round on this course. I booked the tee time for 4 of us on a short 3-day golf vacation. We stayed at the resort and figured it was very convenient, especially for the first day. The accommodations were great and the staff, including at the golf course were very nice.

Unfortunately, the golf course itself should have had a warning sign at the front desk of the pro shop. There literally was no green on the course. It was like they forgot to pay the water bill months ago. You could tell the course was probably pretty nice at some point, but not anymore. There were at least 3 occasions where one of us had to move our ball on the green in order to not putt through a crater. If you had to make a 5-footer, good luck. The only good thing was you didn't have to worry about repairing any ball marks or fill any divots.

Hilton should be completely embarrassed. If they were charging $40-$45 bucks with a sign saying the course is under renovations, it would be one thing, but this just felt like a robbery. There are way too may courses in the area to waste your time and money.

When arrived went in the pro shop and the man behind the desk asked "What are you here for? " ProShop staff were not friendly at all. The started was great to talk to and helpful. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were a mess. Some of the greens should not even be in play. I definitely would not recommend playing this course at all. Not even if they offer a free play.

Haven’t played this course since before Covid. Got a hot deal so thought we would try it. Wow what a mess. We couldn’t believe how they have let this place deteriorate. The greens are really undulating and fun but it’s a shame how they have been let go. Almost unplayable. Fairways are in poor shape and very hilly. Some of the layout and the design of some holes don’t make a lot of sense. No clear landing areas and oddly placed bunkers. All the par 3 were ridiculously long at 170 to 200 yards. We played 20 rounds of golf on various courses in the area this winter and this course was by far the worse.

Greens are in horrible condition. Still charged us 100 plus to play

Bermuda still dormant so fairways mostly sand. Greens inconsistent with bare areas, invasive grasses, and fungus. Expected better for high/season price.

This course was Bad, the tees were bad, the fairways were bad, the rough was bad, waste bunkers were bad and the greens were bad. This course layout was good and challenging but the course has not been maintain for a good while and does not appear to be getting any maintains soon . Beside the guy who check us in in the Pro Shop and the Starter we never was another worker. This course needs a major make over. We got on this dump on a" Hot Deal" for $75/each and it was worth $0..75/ each. I can not believe Diamond Resorts International/ Hilton can put their name on this placed , This resort is huge but I don,t know how they could sell any of these homes/ condos/ time shares to anyone interested in a golfing resort based on its present condition. Writing this review sadden me because this course could be as good as any in the area based on its lay out .
