Orlando World Center Marriott

The price doesn’t translate with these conditions - at least as it plays currently in summer 2026.

Patchy fairways, barren spots, and many lost / temporary tee boxes.

Some cool hole designs on back 9 with watery hazards and target landing areas.

Greens were slow, but smooth and good shape. The course was otherwise very patchy from tee to green. It looked like they were replanting sod in some areas but expect they will be GUR for a few weeks.

I do not recommend until they recover the course or lower their rates.

Normally one of the better courses in Orlando, Hawks Landing is in rough shape right now. Greens are great, but everything else is suffering. While some leeway can be made for the current drought, the conditions were much beyond just a lack of rain. Tee boxes are in terrible condition. Every fairway has several areas that are barren or threadbare - definitely not up to a typical Marriott level conditions.

Prices for the beverage cart are extortionate - $15 for a mixed drink or a single serve liquor bottle plus automatic 18% service charge - expect to spend $70 per round of drinks.

Range is irons only, no woods or driver.

The course was in good condition. Good pace of play. Will definitely be back to play.

I enjoyed playing your course, but I must say, i was somewhat disappointed in the course conditions. Fairways were only in okay condition. Lots of areas of patchy grass. The greens were better than the average course but not as nice as I was expecting. I was led to believe by multiple people that course was a must play in the Orlando area. In my opinion it is not a must play destination.

I wasn't able able to finish the round , was raining no stop and because was booked thru golfnow I never get a raincheck..

All the staff at Hawk's Landing was great. The layout is pretty good. The greens just like many in the area in June have recently been aerated, which is understandable. However tee boxes and a lot of areas in fairways were in horrible condition. I would stay away until you get verified information that the tee boxes have been rebuilt or at least re sodded.

Fairways were in great shape, greens fairly good, even 2 weeks after greens were punched...However, the tee boxes were horrendous....no level stance, very little grass, and overall just tore up and uneven...so bad that it affected feet position on virtually every tee shot...such a nice layout should not have these conditions....

This course is very nice. My only complaint is the t boxes weren’t in very good condition. Very muddy where the t boxes were set up. The 18th hole is listed as a par 5 but actually has been converted to a very difficult par 3 with a 170 yd shot over water.

The golf club was conveniently located, and the course layout was exceptionally well-designed. While the club itself was challenging, the greens were exceptionally well-maintained. However, the staff, particularly the elderly woman who drove the bebarage cars, exhibited rude and condescending behavior.

It is unfortunate that the staff’s conduct overshadowed the overall positive experience of playing golf at this establishment.

I’ve played this course for over 20 years. This is the first time I’ve seated in this condition. It is not worth the cost at this particular point.

Great Course! Have been playing here for the last 20 years every time we visit. Always in great condition. Tee boxes definitely needed some work but overall always great.

“Maintenance” going on. Small punches on the greens. Something going on with fairways. Looked like a farmer had dragged them. Very disappointed there was nothing posted on golf now about the marginal condition the course was in.

Tee boxes were poor and in some cases is weird locarions

The greens had been punched. Should have told us. Tee boxes were terrible. Not in very nice condition

This place over charges for everything. If you want to go and have a couple drinks with your buddies you will be spending a ton of money. 12 bucks for a 12 ounce bud light and other similar beers. 15-19 bucks for little shooters of liquor that cost 3-5 bucks at any store. Hot dog that came out of a beef franks hot dog package for 13 bucks. A breakfast sandwich for 15 bucks you could get at McDonald for 4 bucks. They charge Disney prices even to residents. Course was nice but everything else including the lady working at the outside bar were extremely rude. Live close but will

Never go again

If you like water then you’ll like this course. Tee boxes were not great / chewed up. Greens were ok but slow - maybe that’s the Bermuda but felt the grass was a little long.

It was a challenge and given the cost was ok for value.
