Waldorf Astoria Orlando

Good-1st time playing since redesign and the course changes are great. More open, several bunkers removed or moved. Lots of new chipping areas around greens. Changes on 4th hole are terrific. New par 3 on 16 is a wow. Bad-green speeds were uneven and some bumpy. A couple greens appear to be still growing in. Can't wait to play again when everything is perfect. Staff great as expected.

Greens were very rough. Staff blames it on a fungus however all the other top courses in the area don’t have this issue. Disappointing overall.

Played. This course many times, one of my favorite places. Unfortunately I would not recommend playing this right now. Something is going on with the greens. It looks like they painted them green. They are very slow and bumpy. The bunkers weren’t raked and there were many areas where the grass hadn’t been cut. Definitely not worth $250. Very disappointing experience.

Good and bad comments: The BAD: The greens were very rough. Apparently they've had issues due to weather since Oct/Nov. However, we played Celebration the next day and the greens were excellent there. The really frustrating part was that I called the course a week before we played and they told me the course was in great shape. I don't appreciate either being lied to or someone telling me it was in great shape when it was not. This needs to get fixed for customer satisfaction issues as well as proper ethics. The GOOD: This is a beautiful course. The layout is great and very enjoyable. It was challenging, yet very playable. The staff was very friendly. The facilities are very nice and new. The range was great with unlimited balls.

As we had to pay full rate for the round at this course. The conditions of most of the greens were very poor. It was as though we were putting across green painted dirt. The head professional never mentioned this when we signed in in the pro shop and I do not think it warranted 250 dollars plus to play. The green fees should have been halved. Perhaps even Golf Now should review their pricing structure for this course at present because it did not warrant full price.

Fairways were in great condition as were the cart paths.

This course is challenging from any tee with deep bunkers and water on most holes.

A great course for low to mid-handicap golfers.

Tough for beginners and high handicap players.

I found the greens rather spongy and inconsistent

Pros. The staff were friendly, practice area nice. That’s where it stopped. Conditions of the greens were basically unplayable on some holes, tragically bad on other holes. 340 for the round and no mention that many of the greens were not worth putting. Uncut tee boxes and no ability to order food at the clubhouse after the round. They said food services needed at 4pm! How does they happen on a Saturday? Save your Monday and visit grand cypress, or better yet travel to southern dunes and get a great course for half the price.

By getting a golf pass hot deal with extra credits was able to play this course. I think course is way over priced! The course is beautiful and close to our resort but prices over the last two years have been ridiculously high!

Great course and good conditions, except greens were of variable quality….. would expect better for price. Pace good, range ok, staff pleasant.

The course was in very nice condition, however, I’m a bit disappointed in the condition of several of the greens that were bare or had very sparse turf. Also, the greens were incredibly slow. The laughing theme of our foursome was “who can smack it hard enough to get it to the hole”, and we just could not accomplish that. With the condition of those several greens, one would think the clubhouse would be offering discounted green fees, but that did not happen.

The staff and facilities are top notch and the course is a challenging layout. The course was in immaculate condition with the exception of the greens. The greens were absolutely awful. The were bare lacking grass, but they painted them green. If/when the greens are in good shape then this course will approach being worth the exorbitant price on a splurge. There are courses in better condition for much less in the area. I would stay away until spring and prices come down from the absurd.

Invited family and friends to the Waldorf for fun on the golf course. Haven’t played since the renovations. The Hard to improve on the original layoff but the did. New 16 hole is spectacular. A few of the greens were not looking good but still OK. Course conditions were excellent other than a couple of the greens. We will be back!

This looks like it can be a great track. However, the greens were terrible. All the rest of the turf on the course was in good to great condition, but the greens were terrible. Was very disappointing for the greens fees they were charging. The pro shop is well aware because when I mentioned it after the round the gentleman said yeah I know, we're working on them. Hope they'll get better soon.

The greens are healing but as you can probably guess, they have to keep them longer and they are extremely slow. The conditions of the course everywhere else are in immaculate shape. The layout is fun and if you can get a hot deal, it’s still a good value for the caliber of the course. Looking forward to the greens healing.
