Ritz Carlton 11/23/18

Practice range was perfect, chipping area perfect and putting green perfect as was the course. My son 15 and I fully enjoyed our round. We were paired with another father & son who were a joy to play with. The course was amazing, big wide open fairways guarded by lots of bunkers and water with challenging approach shots and greens that are big and very deceptive as there is more slope on the greens then you would think.. Price is steep at $175 a round but there was nothing to complain about here.

I want more please!

Shared morning tee time with a low handicap and since there were just 2 of us, we played in less than 4 hrs and condition and pace of play was great which helped with low score. This golf course is one of the best maintained courses in Orlando. Always a charm to play here and definitely coming back for more.

Good shape

I'll preface by saying a little disappointed we weren't made aware they had punched 10 days prior. With that being said, great layout and when the greens are back it's a must play if you haven't played it whether you're a local or out of Towner

Ritz Golf

Fairways and tees boxes were in excellent shape. Almost like hitting off a carpet mat. Greens were brown in some spots but rolled great and fast.

Great Course

Great course for the $99 price on golf now.

Also great course for resident rate of $130

Not such a great value at the regular nonresident price of $180 - 185.

Staff is terrrific, friendly and accomodating.

Same for the Golf shop desk.

Big let down

I go to Orlando on business yearly and have wanted to play this course multiple times since its so highly reviewed. The greens were in very poor condition and the course in general was not kept well. Huge disappointment. The best part was the pre-round meal in the pub.

We played Championsgate the next day and it was immaculate!!

Special course especially with great pace of play

Course conditions were very good but with slow greens and a number of tees were scruffy. Especially for the money. ALOT of sand but a fair layout. We play this course whenever we can in season if the price is right

Always a winner

I have played the RC Grand Lakes GC many times although not in the last four years. I took my grandson (he is a plus 1) there to play.

We grabbed a bite to eat in the pub before the round. The food was excellent and the service prompt and friendly. The price for our lunch was a little steep but as this was a Ritz property, the rate was fair.

The course was in perfect condition - fairways plush with fast and true greens that accepted well played balls. It would appear that the course staff as well as the guests care enough about golf to fill most of the divots, repair ball marks and rake greens.

The carts were equipped with a basic GPS (front, pin and rear of the greens from your location) but the course is straight forward - no hidden bunkers or hazards.

The day was hot but the course has five or six locations where you can pick up bottled water from large ice chests.

Pace of play was acceptable - just under 41/2 hours. We waited but as a twosome following a threesome of spring break family golfers, the delay was tolerable and expected.

I found a reasonable price on the Orlando Ritz Carlton

web site. The regular price is $185 but usually there is one or two times where a reduced rate is available. If you are only going to play one course while in Orlando, the full price is worth every penny. Make room in your schedule to play here.
