Rosen Shingle Creek

It was the longest most painful round I've had in quite awhile. It took the Marshall until the back nine to have the group ahead of us speed up. Once they were confronted they purposely played even slower. Course is beautiful and a lot of fun, ruined by a rude 4some.

Cart path only…. And not sure why the course was not wet. But it resulted in a long day 5+ hours round. The layout and color edition were very good but couldn’t really enjoy them due to the pace of play.

Will try again later this year.

A disappointing visit. We knew the course had been holllow tined, but the drop in rates meant the course was rammed with hackers. Marshall’s totally ineffective.

The food post round was over cooked and we would have sent it back if we weren’t in a rush for the airport.

Would not play again in these circumstances. Might come back, not sure.

Would've been a 5 star review, but a couple things dropped a star.

Cheap rate cause of aerification. Slow players took advantage of rate. Course marshal did not seem concerned about the slow play since the slow 3some was playing a 4 hour round. Caused each of 3 groups behind them to wait 4 to 5 minutes between shots.

Back nine was cart path only due to heavy rains.

Restaurant staff, service, and food great.

Would be good to know greens aereated prior to playing. Was very wet cartpath only.

The verification was not friendly, and it was more difficult since they had approximately 2 inches of rain the night before. We ended up having to do cart path which I would not have done had I known, but that decision was made the first thing that morning, too late to cancel. The course has always been a great layout, but enjoyable to play and definitely will play it again.

Wet course, no notice of greens aeration, greens were very bumpy, good layout, was cart path only on our round.

When I saw the rate I was willing to accept the fact that they had just aerified (and to be honest, the greens were still quick and true even with that). This course is very close to the Orange County convention center, and is part of the Rosen Shingle Creek hotel complex, so...they are really set up for either hotel guests or folks coming over by Uber/Taxi. I circled twice, unable to find a place to park that wasn't gated off, and finally dropped my car with the complementary valet. I'm not in to a lot of pretentiousness with my golf. I don't want the cart return guys trying to clean my clubs and take them back for pickup. So...those things turned me off (I'm sure I'm in the minority).

I played on Memorial Day. We had a huge thunderstorm Sunday night, so the first thing I was told when checking in was that we were cartpath only for the entire course. After seeing the amount of water along the course (most fairways had at least one lake alongside) I could understand why the course might not drain well.

The condition of the course was great! While there was a lot of lateral water, there were very few forced carries, so those of us who are short but straight could still play the course. There are some deep greenside bunkers and shallow greens that put a premium on distance control and choosing good approach lines. For Florida, the greens have a lot of contour. I saw something indicating when they haven't just been aerated these are some of the fastest greens in town. I think I'm glad I didn't see that.

I enjoyed the course, but I doubt I will play here very often. It was nice to see the beverage cart several times during the round (since I went through almost a gallon of water during the round). They should have had somebody refilling some of the coolers on the course since three of those were dry.

This is a beautiful course. We were very excited to see an opportunity to play this course and at a decent price. What we didnt know when booking was that the course was being aerated. We also didnt know until it was our tee time that not only was it being aerated but the whole front 9 was closed and we would be playing the back 9 twice. While it was a beautiful course because they had continous tee times and everyone was playing just the back 9 the pace of play was horrible. We were waiting up to 10 minutes per hole before we could even tee off because it was so backed up. What we saw of the course was beautiful but everything combine made for a poor experience.

The staff made it clear that when they have cheap rates post maintenance the number of players is high. BUT the team simply failed to keep the pace of play moving.

The snack post round in the bar was cover cooked and dry, and had we not been in a rush for the airport we would have complained.

First poor report in 14 rounds of golf in Florida whilst on holiday. Disappointed.
