Waldorf Astoria Orlando

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.

Course is in great shape and liked it better than four seasons.

Conditions were nice, however, this course is not the Par 72 advertised. Currently there is a major construction project that’s going to be ongoing until 2024. This has resulted in the two par 5s on the back nine being chopped into a par 4 and par 3, with the second par 5 chopped down to a par 3 and 1/2, really a 240 yard par 4. Par 70 is the total. This results in a shorter than advertised, architecturally compromised, course. I understand these kinds of modifications are necessary to accommodate construction, but they should be advertised. GolfNow should do a better job of ensuring accurate information on their site, but this kind of in attention to detail is par for the course for GolfNow. Also, the course being adjacent to a construction site, means there’s a lot of heavy equipment noise, as if the proliferation of Bluetooth speakers on the links isn’t enough. Again, I know construction and course impacts are necessary from time to time, the paying public should be properly warned before shelling out big bucks to play. Had I known of these impacts prior to arriving at the course, I would have gone elsewhere. Bunkers were washed out as well, a function of recent heavy rain, however, the rain wasn’t solely responsible for the bad bunkers. Many need sand replenishment.

Enjoyed the course - great conditions - staff was good at their job- would recommend.

All the staff was very nice the course was in great shape he greens were a little slow but the roll true

This course is visually interesting and technically challenging for me. The course is somewhat hindered by the work in progress due to resort modifications.

The staff is fantastic and attentive. I look forward to playing the course again!

No one informed us of the constant hammering of large posts for their new banquet hall. Metal on metal for 18 holes.

Two we were forced to play the entire round behind an 8 some. They never once offered to let us through. They were only broke apart twice the whole round. There radios could be heard across holes.

They allowed 3 children under 14 to roam the course in carts with their mother. None spoke english so we couldn't communicate with them to stop hitting into us screaming, running, or driving through us etc..., come to find out the teaching pro allowed them to finish their "lesson" on the course with no supervision.

The Valet left our keys out for anyone to just come by and steal. At this price point you expect much more. I called, LM for course, no one has even called back. I just wanted a refund and to move on. So much for my mom getting to enjoy her 70th Bday present!

Layout was ok, fairways were in good conditions as were the greens. Bunkers weren’t consistent, some had fluffy sand, others were hard and more like dirt. Construction is being done which has the 18th shortened to a par 4. If you’re willing to shell out $250+ to say you’ve played at the Waldorf Astoria Club, go for it!

Lots of work being done.

Some hole modifications that we were not aware of

I remember 12-13-18 and probably a couple more are modified

So I expected more for the price of the green fee….

There is construction around the course that shortened several holes and made for a very strange layout. There had been some rain and every bunker was full of water, need to have better drainage.

Great facility. Significant construction noise ( bad timing on my part) The 18th hole has been significantly reduced from a long par 5 to a short par 4. Great staff and facilities.
