Waldorf Astoria Orlando

I played a few rounds of golf in Orlando while in the area and I would say this was the best maintained course of all. Other courses had fairways hard a rock making it a challenge not to blade iron shots but these fairways were well cared for and the greens were also top notch. Very friendly staff; ample drinking water, and free valet parking! Certainly would recommend and will return when next in the area.

The course is great but has some construction overflowing on to the golf course affecting 3 holes if play (16, 17, and 18). The adjacent hotel aid doing some expansion that rerouted the three holes on the back none. The greeting from the parking lot, checkin, free range balls, ice water given by the starter, what else can you say but fantastic. Cart girl has refreshments and at the end when returning the cart you are greeted with a cool wet towel to refresh yourself with. Love this course.

We did a golf stay and play 5/13-5/15. Staff from the starters to the clubhouse to the bar are all fantastic! We really enjoyed our time playing at Waldorf. The only downside was the course conditions. The greens and fairways are not as nice as they were last year, a lot of discolored patches on the greens and all over the fairway. Caught us off guard since last year the course was absolutely beautiful. The surrounding area and nature preserve is still beautiful and the construction was not bad at all, they did a great job creating new holes. They mentioned they are doing a lot of renovations to the course over the next two years, can’t wait to see what’s it’s like after!

This course is best in class, from the time you arrive to the time you leave. Highly recommend!

Truly great course to play on. Great layout very good conditions and very challenging!! Do not miss a chance to play this course if you are in the area!!

Understand this is Waldorf Astoria but while course is nice it’s not twice as nice as the other courses I am playing…..but twice as expensive.

Excellent conditions. Very friendly staff. Fun to play. I highly recommend playing golf here!!!

The course is nice and on a hot deal is even better (Paid $100)… the issue i had is that after around hole 13 the course is completely changed due to construction on the property so none of the gps’s or yardages work to include my watch, the ones in the cart or the yardages on the cards . So like i said nice course, well maintained, great staff, but the bait and switch of not letting you know that the last third of the course is jacked up due to them losing a significant part of their real estate to expanding the hotel is a let down to say the least. If i paid the full $160 I would probably have been more upset.

This course has no parking to start with. After that we had to hit off mats which was really disappointing since we needed a good warm up after not playing for a while. Greens were extremely slow. Holes 17 and 18 are temps. This would have been ok if we knew all of this up front and we received a lower price. The dining is very limited and poorly staffed. I would not recommend playing here at full price. Maybe half price. Very disappointed.

I really enjoyed playing here today and the staff was fantastic. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was that they cut two par 5’s down to make it a par 70 to build more hotel space and the signature hole surrounded by bunkers that was in the pictures of the course I never saw it which was one of the reasons I chose this course. Overall I still would recommend playing here thanks.

The Course lost its character on the back nine now that they eliminated both par 5’s and turned them into short par 4’s to make room for another hotel. The course is now just a par 70.

Played the course many tiles I’ve the last 10 years. It was my favorite Orlando course. When we arrived yesterday we we asked when we played last and did we know about the changes on the back 9. The course is rerouted and shortened to accommodate additions to the convention center thru 2024.

The pace of play was great until the three group backup at the par 3 13th.

I will wait til 2024 to try again.

Great golf outing the pro shop staff was great and so was the cart staff highly recommended, pace was a little slow on the back nine but other than that it was a perfect day

We played W-A in Feb. 2021 and had a great time. We paid a premium price ($200+) per round and were disappointed to find most of the bunkers flooded. If you landed in a greenside bunker, you were likely to lose your ball because the water in them was deep and murky. The last par 3 was under construction with contrived tee boxes and hole 17 was reconfigured and shortened as it appears that the course is being encroached upon for hotel construction. While the staff was great, the course was more comparable to $130 courses in the Orlando area rather than a premium course.

For the course being laid out in a small area they did a great job making the holes independent from each other. Greens rolled great and were consistent every hole. Will definitely be playing this course again.
