I've spent some time in Florida this winter and thought I'd leave some reviews. These aren't in any particular order.

I lived in Florida years ago and managed to play the Panther Lake course while living there. However, I never made to Crooked Cat. Orange County National has to be one of the top public facilities in Orlando and I loved my round on Crooked Cat! The course is probably best known for hosting the PGA Tour Q-School Finals.

The layout is open, the driving areas are large and there isn't a ton of trouble - just on a few holes. The wind was howling when I played and I never thought it was too tough like some modern designs can be.

The par-3's are difficult here and the par-4 12th is one of the better par-4's that you'll find in Florida. It is a really solid hole that plays somewhere around 400 yards from most of the tees and has a wetlands feel to it. The tee shot is downhill to a fairway that is guarded by water to the right. The water cuts across the fairway so ideally you will want to hit the tee shot as close to the edge of the fairway as possible! From there it is a nail-biter approach into the green, with more water lurking.

The conditions were top-notch, just what you'd expect for a premium course in Orlando during peak season. Put this on your list of courses to play on your Florida golf vacation! It is well worth the $100ish green fee.

Round 4 on our recent trip. Played here on 01/25/18.

We had some time to spare before sunset and decided to check out the Links Course. We kept the same carts and paid $35 in the proshop before heading out to play. I'm not sure that $35 is any sort of deal for a nine hole course, but it is probably less money than we would have lost in the casino back in Mesquite. So, it kept us out of trouble!

The wind started to pick up right as we teed off which made the Links Course brilliant fun to play! I played the black tees which are 3,687 yards. If you played it twice the rating would be 73.2 and the slope would be 126. Like the front nine on the Championship Course, The Links Course is set on a flat part of the property. It is actually on the other side of the condos that are being built, between them and State Route 7. If you like to walk, then you certainly could do that here.

The Links Course has similar features as the Championship Course, including large, sloping fairways, sagebrush bunkers and top-notch scenery! The routing is more simple with most holes heading out or in from the spot where the first tee and ninth green are located. There is a rock wall that you play over a couple times, but no real fancy design features. It is just you and the desert out there. Only the par 3's play across the section of the property where the course is located. I suspect that has to do with the usual winds, because when we played most of the holes were either downwind or into the wind.

I'd say that the course played like a links course is supposed to play, which made it so much fun! Winds of 20+ mph and firm ground had me forgetting about yardages and trying different shots! I was just off the green in two on the 580 yard 3rd hole and hit driver and an 8 iron on the 486 yard 7th (par 4). Then I hit a waist high hybrid and driver off the deck on two into the wind holes! Trying shots I don't normally play is what made the Links Course so much fun for me.

I thought the conditions on the Links Course were better than the Championship Course. The fairways were fuller, there were fewer divots and the greens were faster than the Championship Course. I'm assuming this gets less play, so it is probably easier to keep in sharper condition. My only grip about the Links Course is that some of the greens, specifically the 4th and the 8th, were a bit silly with their excessive slopes and breaks. Is the Links Course worth playing by itself? Probably not, but I think it pairs nicely with the Championship Course.

Round 3 on our trip. I played here on 01/25/18.

I played the Championship Course back in 2009 and enjoyed it immensely! I don't really bother ranking courses that I play, but prior to this trip Sand Hollow held the distinction of being the favorite course that I've played!

The things to love about Sand Hollow is the out of this world scenery and the fact that it is a playable, modern course. I'm not exactly clear on who did what when it comes to the design work. I thought the course was a John Fought design, while I've read that Andy Staples did most of the work. As best I can tell Staples started the project and Fought was then brought in by the owner. For the average golfer though, it doesn't really matter. Staples and Fought created a masterpiece in Southern Utah!

The landscape in Southern Utah is incredible and Sand Hollow showcases the area's beautiful rock formations and the Pine Valley Mountains! The front nine loops out and around a group of red rocks, with multiple greens set right up against them. However, the back nine is even better, as it has holes that play along a cliffside on the rocky terrain!

The front nine is links style, with many large, open holes in the middle of the desert. Everything is pretty flat on this part of the property which makes it harder to design distinctive golf holes. The front nine tests you with troublesome sight lines and longer holes, but none of the holes stand out all that much when you think back on your round. The sagebrush really has you questioning where to hit it, and there is a 468 yard par 4 and a 563 yard par 5!

The back nine is where Sand Hollow shines! In fact, it might just be the most memorable, inland set of nine holes that I've played. The back nine at Sand Hollow opens with a beautiful par 5 that allows you to take in the surroundings from an elevated tee. Once you finish with that potential birdie hole, you get to the brilliance of the design! The best holes at Sand Hollow are the 11th through the 15th and you will want to have your camera ready! I wouldn't expect to hustle around as we were the first group off, taking 4.5 hours to enjoy the scenery, and we had a bunch of space between us and the next group.

The 11th is a 164 yard par 3 with a reverse redan green, guarded by bunkers on the right. Basically you can play your tee shot to the left side and get a nice bounce onto the green, without having to challenge those bunkers! The 12th is a long par 4, and the first of the cliffside holes. The 12th looks like it was blasted apart by dynamite as a jagged hill is to the right of the fairway while a dropoff of at least 100 feet is to the left. It sure is a scary tee shot!

The 13th is a potentially drivable par 4, but no matter what you hit off the tee you'll need some excellent short game shots to get a birdie! The 14th is another long par 4 that isn't quite as dramatic as the previous holes before the 15th is a stunner. The 15th is a 191 yard par 3 which plays through a rock formation to the green. There isn't much room to miss, so hopefully it is one of your better shots of the day.

While the front nine has changed some since I originally played there, the back nine is still awesome! Prior to this visit, I read someone's comments about how Sand Hollow is a course that is just waiting for homes to be built around it (or something along those lines). If I'm honest, I agree with that assessment, at least when talking about the front nine. There is a bunch of construction going on so the noise and new buildings made the front nine less interesting than it was years ago.

My last comment about the design is going to be about the playability. All the yardages I've mentioned so far are from the blue tees which are 71.8/126/6893. I think part of the reason I enjoy Sand Hollow so much is that it is friendly to play! The fairways and greens are large, the greens aren't crazy to putt, and you might get lucky being able to advance your ball from the desert. Plus, there is a desert rule in effect. The difficulty comes from the wind, many deep bunkers bunkers, and three putting.

The conditions at Sand Hollow were good, but not great. Keep in mind that it is the off-season! I remember this place being pristine in 2009, but I played there in June. Still, it seems that the word about the course got out. There were a ton of divots and ball marks, and the fairways had some winterkill looking areas in them. Lies were a bit thin so you needed to be precise. The course played firmer but the greens were receptive. The greens were smooth, but only super quick on downhill putts. The sand was sort of clumpy and rocky.

Even after playing Wolf Creek later on in this trip, Sand Hollow remains my favorite course. I'm a bit surprised that the course doesn't get mentioned more on a national level, when it comes to top public courses.

Played here 01/24/18.

I actually typed this without reading Itslikeimsayin's review, eerily similar!

My friend and I wanted to stay on the east side of the Las Vegas Valley and started the trip out at Desert Pines Golf Club, a budget selection. Tee times here range from $70 to $90 this time of year and I found an early morning tee time for $55. Considering all the overpriced golf in Vegas, I didn’t think that was a bad deal!

Desert Pines is northeast of The Strip, a few minutes from the I-15/I-515 interchange and smack dab in the middle of town. The course’s location is one of the things that I’ll remember the most about Desert Pines. But, in an odd sort of way! The course occupies a squarish block of land in a rougher looking part of town. What was really funny to me is that billboards line a road which borders the course. And, you practically tee off from under a billboard on the 13th hole! I think the property was more suitable to residential or commercial development than for golf. You get a couple quick peeks at the top of the Las Vegas skyline and Mt. Charleston, but that is about it for scenery.

From the tips (where we played), Desert Pines was short. The course is a par 71 with three par 5’s and four par 3’s. From the back tees it still packs a punch with a rating of 71.1 and a slope of 137. I think the biggest difficulty are going to be uneven lies and small, continuously sloping greens.

Prior to the round, I read that Desert Pines could play up to around 6,800 yards. So, I was a little puzzled when the scorecard showed that the course maxes out at 6,222 yards! I don’t know the decision behind shortening the course, maybe to speed up play or allow for greater safety would be my guess. If shortening the course was for the pace of play, it worked! Even after a frost delay we got around in less than four hours, which is good by Vegas standards.

My favorite stretch of holes was the 7th through the 9th. The 7th is a reachable par 5, with a narrow green tucked between a water hazard and some bunkers. The 8th is a mid-length par 3, framed by pine trees which surround the tee and gave it a nice look. The 9th is a brash, 447 yard par 4 that runs parallel to the long, par 4 18th. Water separates those two holes, in typical Dye family fashion! Visually, the 12th was another impressive looking hole with railroad ties lining deep bunkers.

Another design feature at Desert Pines is all the mounding, likely to help separate the holes. Mounding separates the majority of the holes, with water features and crushed, rock-like waste areas separating the remaining holes. It was busy by the time we got going because of the frost delay, and you have to be on the lookout for incoming golf shots to your fairway. Likewise, yelling fore is a good idea if your shot is headed over the mounds.

The most unique characteristic about Desert Pines is it’s twist on traditional desert golf, and because of that it is probably worth a play. The course’s claim to fame is that it is modeled after golf in the Carolinas. Well, I live just hours from the Carolinas and saying that Desert Pines has a Carolina feel is a stretch of the imagination if you ask me! It is a great looking golf course in the desert with all the pine trees, water features and domestic vegetation but that is as far as I would go. If you enjoy Dye family designs and are looking to stay close to town, then I think Desert Pines is worth a look.

I forgot to leave a review about Southern Hills Plantation. I played here on 11/30/17 after my round at another nearby course.

From my research I knew that Southern Hills was an upscale facility and I figured it had to be in great shape. As soon as I passed through the security gate I realized that this is an elaborate club. You turn right at a "T" intersection after passing through the security gate and there you see the massive clubhouse off in the distance!

As I expected, the conditions were excellent. For $80 it seemed like a good value too this time of year. The conditions are the reason you'll want to play here in my opinion. Everything except the tees were cut down and I never had a bad lie. The tees were being overseeded, which isn't uncommon for late November in Florida. The fairways had super tight lies so that made it easy to clank one, especially around the greens. Beautiful though. The greens were firmer and rolled so smooth.

As far as the design, Southern Hills is a newer Dye creation with some elevation change. The course opened in 2006 and works its way through an upscale community. I'm sure the club was private at one point, but now it has some public exposure.

Honestly, the course wasn't a complete a bear to play. I played the Oak tees (73.7/14/06962), which were a bit long for my game but I managed to have some par looks after my squirrlley shots. I'm not sure if Dye has gotten softer in his old age or if he needed to design a course for members to play, but this wasn't the traditional beating that I've come to expect from Dye. There is very little water in play and I didn't see one railroad tie! You do get a volcano bunker on the 16th hole though.

There is an incredible amount of slope in the fairways, so much in fact that you might have to worry about your ball ending up in a divot. Everything seems to collect in certain pockets in the fairways. The Dye mounding means you will have all sorts of stances and lies so getting an iron close takes some skill or luck. The greens don't offer many good bounces, no surprises from Dye there.

I'd say that Southern Hills is a tolerable Dye design. Think along the lines of TPC Louisiana or the Dye Course at Barefoot in Myrtle Beach. It almost seemed like Dye compromised too much by not making the course more brash.

Round six of my Florida trip was at Brooksville Country Club. I played here on 11/30/17.

A friend of mine lives west of I-75 so we decided to meet up and golf. Brooksville is an hour north of Tampa and an hour south of where I was staying. When it comes to golf, the town is best know for the courses at World Woods. However, it was time for a new to me course! We got a Golfnow time for $35 a person, but my friend used his points so it only ended up costing us $17 a piece. We cruised around in 3.5 hours, tailing a foursome that moved at the speed of light!

Brooksville CC was a 1970's creation by William F Mitchell and it was reworked in 2006 by Bobby Weed. Weed added some holes for the current back nine and rerouted a few others. And, what you end up with is a unique Florida golf course!

The front nine is your usual Central Florida design with impressive oak trees and the tiniest bit of elevation change. Homes line the perimeter holes and the oak trees separate parallel holes. It helps to shape the ball on the front as it is tight. In contrast the newer back nine is brilliant and one you'll certainly remember! The 11th is a reachable par 5 that climbs to a high point on the property. It has a nice looking green, framed by a bunker short and trees off to the right. Once you putt out there and get to the 12th hole, you may start wondering if you've left the state of Florida!

The 12th, 13th, 14th, and 17th are the holes that we added by Weed. These holes are in an old limestone mine and offer some eye popping golf course views. These are two par 3's and two par 4's, and they are the highlight of the course. If you play here make sure to bring your camera as they add some uniqueness that is rarely found in Florida. The 12th has a split fairway, offering a decision of a tricky angle on the tee shot or a blind landing area. The 13th drops a couple stories down to the bottom of the mine and then climbs back up. The 14th and 17th are par 3's that play across the edges of the mine.

There is a nice mix of country club charm and modern design elements. I played the blue tees (69.8/126/6357) and the course was quite playable. Like most places, hitting it straight helps here. The conditions could use some TLC and aren't the reason you are going to play here. The greens had some sandy spots and were on the slower side. They rolled fine, just didn't look great. The fairways seemed to have some trouble growing bermuda and were inconsistent. I had to play shots lower and putt from spots I'd normally chip when around the greens. The conditions were worth $35, but not much more.

If you are playing the World Woods courses and looking for another round, then put Brooksville CC on your list. I'm sure you'll end up with some good memories and a smile on your face after playing the four signature holes!

Round 5 of my Florida trip was at CC of Mount Dora. Played here on 11/29/17 after my morning round at RedTail.

CC of Mount Dora is another Clifton, Ezell & Clifton (CEC) design. I knew what I was getting into design wise when I booked my round here. The design is fairly basic with decent sized fairways, some sloping greens, and larger flatter bunkers. That is what you'll find here, so if you can avoid the water you can put up a good score. All holes run through a community and the piece of land is very flat, so it is one of those courses that won't stand out. I saw a diagram poking fun at Florida golf on social media and it had homes on one side and water on the other! That's pretty accurate for the course here. In some way or another water comes into play on just about every hole.

I played the black tees which are 6484/71.5/127 and by today's standards the course is quite short. Compared to the other CEC designs I played on the trip, I found the CC of Mount Dora not as playable. I was +1 through 7 holes and then made two quadruple bogeys and a triple bogey coming in as I couldn't find a fairway. I wasn't hitting it much differently this round than the others. I put it into three different yards and lost a couple balls in the water. Somehow I found the course to be sneaky tough off the tee, so you are going to pay if you are crooked. Lots of out of bounds and water.

Most holes felt the same and I'm pretty sure homes line each hole, on both sides. My Northern California comparison is San Ramon Golf Club when it comes to the routing through the neighborhood. The homes certainly got the best land as the course pinched in odd spots and the 13th and 16th are quirky doglegs right. The 4th is a 148 yard par 3 that has a good look to it and some of the tee shots get you thinking, but unless you are staying nearby I don't see a reason to play here, unless you've played all of the other local courses. One thing the course has going for it is that there are five par 3's, five par 5's, and ten par 4's. I enjoy that type of setup!

Regarding the conditions, not that I expected much for ~$30, but I read someone's comment that the course was in good shape compared to recent years. There were more spots of crabgrass and sandy sections than I was expecting and the overall maintenance was scruffy. The conditions didn't cost me any strokes, as I was able to cleanly contact the ball from the fairways and the greens rolled fine, on the slower side. I'm sure the course does what they can with the maintenance budget and they've done a good job to make the course playable. Playable conditions for $30 is fair in my opinion, I don't think I'd expect much more. The course offers affordable golf and there is something to be said for that.

I played in about 3.5 hours so the course's local (north of Orlando) helped with a 36 hole day, which can be tough this time of year with so little daylight. I don't regret my decision to play here, as I always enjoy playing a new course and it was another beautiful afternoon.

Round 4 in Florida was at RedTail. Played here on 11/29/17 for ~$35.

There are a few value courses in in this area that I've wanted to try out in prior trips to Florida, but just never made it. RedTail was about 50 minutes from where I was staying is probably a half hour from Orlando. If staying near Disney it would be an easy ride up the 429 toll road.

This course isn't one you hear too much about as the attraction courses steal the show, and probably rightfully so. I was hoping that by playing north of Orlando that I could avoid the golf course crowds this time of year and it worked perfectly.

I had an early morning tee time during the week and was first off as a single. The parking lot was like a ghost town and I played at my own pace, about three hours. RedTail is designed by David Harman who did some other work in the Orlando area, notably the Orange County National courses. RedTail opened in 2004 and is a community course, like so many courses in Florida. The homes do take away from the design, but it is going to be hard not to like the course all things considered. It has a pretty good look to it with lots of sand features, a lake, and strategic trees.

I played the blue tees which are 6768/73.0/139 and from there it was an adequate challenge. I didn't feel the distance as the ball was flying, but there are plenty of par 4's over 400 yards from those tees. Big hitters might need to lay back as fairways do tend to run out. You don't have to drive the ball accurately, just bring your sand same if you don't. Bunkers catch drives and you have to be precise around the greens for a birdie putt. Once on the greens, you probably can run in a few putts as the greens don't have a significant amount of break.

The 10th is a quirky par 4 that doglegs right around some homes. I hit my drive by the cart path and could have tried to go over someone's home to get to the green. I bet they are glad I didn't! The left side leaves the best angle into the green. Probably best to layup on the 10th if you don't have a comfortable shot at the green. Overall, a few spots of trouble you cannot see at RedTail and visually tough. Holes 14 through 17 play around a lake and have a nice look to them.

The conditions, except for the 7th hole which sits in a low spot, were great. The greens were on the firm side, quick, and so so smooth! No idea how they were in such good shape for the price. Had to play for some release on the longer clubs. Fairways had some divots but looked great as the overseed was popping. Few spots of crabgrass in the rough. My compliments to the maintenance crew! This was a good find!

Round #3 on my Florida trip. I played here on 11/26/17 for $60.

First of all, make sure you don't get confused and think you are booking a time at nearby ChampionsGate Golf Resort. This course is right around the corner and newer, opening a few years ago I believe. You can actually see golfers at the "original" ChampionsGate club from the 7th hole here. This one is another Clifton, Ezell and Clifton Golf Design Group (CEC) course. My friend had played it before and liked the course a lot so he booked us a tee time here. We were paired with a local twosome who said they like the course a lot themselves. Might want to bring a range finder as my Garmin GPS didn't have the course on the database, never had that happen before!

I can see why so many people like the course! You don't have to hit great shots and can recover all day long. I hit three fairways and somehow managed to shoot a 75 as my irons and putting were very good. Part of that is I drove it terrible and the other part is that the angles from tee are a bit deceiving. I blew it through a few fairways by picking the wrong lines. It is a resort style course with large fairways, typical CEC large bunkers, water features, and short rough. It has a lot of domestic landscape, muhly grass I think. The front nine is in more a wetlands area while the back plays through a new housing community. They are still building homes and I think they plan to go private at some point if they can. The back has some minor elevation change. This isn't a course you want to walk as the holes are very spread out!

We played the back tees which are 71.5/129/6404 and the biggest challenges are going to be avoiding the large, man-made water hazards and cavernous bunkers. Oddly, the construction of those water hazards I think are still taking place so the course is a bit uncompleted at this time.

Nothing too memorable here on the individual holes, and the design a bit uninspiring. The 12th is a 407 yard par 4 that plays uphill to a fairway that is framed by oak trees. The 15th is a 310 yard par 4 where you can layup and then play over water on the approach or blast a driver out to the right for a pitch and better angle into the green.

Conditions were great. The sand was fluffy and a nice white color since the course is so new. The greens were smooth as can be and quick. The fairways were perfect and the rough wasn't a penalty. The maintenance is something you'd likely find at a $125+ course closer to Orlando.

Thanks to Johnny for getting this course added! This was round #2 on my trip to Florida. I stayed with family in The Villages and didn't want to venture too far from town. Harbor Hills is nearby in Lady Lake and about 15-20 minutes away from town.

Oddly, Harbor Hills was the first of multiple Clifton, Ezell and Clifton Golf Design Group (CEC) courses that I played on the trip. Funny too, because they have done just about all the work for The Villages courses and many other Central Florida designs. There is a good article out there that details some of their design strategy, but the short of it is that they seem to put together no-frill, playable courses. Maybe a few too many bunkers for my liking if I'm nitpicking. Reminds me of the older Ed Ault courses here in the Mid-Atlantic.

I know people who would scoff at playing a course like this and I'm not going to try to convince you that Harbor Hills is a great course, because it isn't. I also won't say the homes don't take away from the golfing experience, because they do. But at least they are set back a bit.

While playing the course I pictured families being able to golf together and Harbor Hills struck me as a great members course. Many courses are designed for high level amateur play but you won't find that here. The fairways are wide, mature trees line many of the holes, there is some elevation change, and very little pressure of having to hit a great shot. The biggest challenge is going to be some greens with ski slopes on them!

There is some rolling terrain which is best displayed on the back nine. The 10th is a 447 yard par 4 (from the tips) which is the longest par 4 on the course. It drops a couple stories from the tee down to the fairway and offers a nice view of Lake Griffin off in the distance.

Conditions were fair. The fairways and greens seemed to get most of the upkeep and that's fine by me. Fairways were being overseeded and we had to keep carts off them, but I had plenty of nice bermuda lies in the fairways with the ball sitting up. The greens were a pleasure to putt, true and quick. The rough was thin, sandy, and had plenty of loose twigs. For $24 it was worth checking out to play a new to me course!

I'd say this is worth a drive if you live in The Villages. However, there are better options if you are just passing through.

Date played: 11/25/17
Tees played: Blue at 71.0/127/6389

I played here 11/24/17.

This was my first stop on a multi round trip to Florida. I played the El Campeon course a few years ago and enjoyed it, so I wanted to come back and play Las Colinas. If you only have a chance to play one course here then play the El Campeon.

Las Colinas is a decent course in its own right tough (very little elevation change compared to El Campeon) and a good compliment to El Campeon. Las Colinas is a Gary Koch design and I've played a few of his other ones and found them to be playable. This one might be a bit tougher compared to his other courses, as you need to be precise with the approaches. Some room to fan it around on certain tee shots though. I had no business playing the blue tees at 6829/74.1/130 on a cool, misty morning but the whites were going to be shorter than I prefer. Long par 4's and a couple forced carries are the major difficulties.

The design got better as it went on as fewer homes were noticeable and more trees. The only "memorable" hole is the 12th, which is a short par 5 that plays into the Florida swampland. It is named "Alligator Alley" because of how narrow it is and all the overhanging trees. You can hit driver for a chance to reach the green in two or lay up a couple times.

The conditions were nice as the overseed came in nicely and the crew was out mowing it on Black Friday. I waited for them quite a lot as the first single off in the morning and crawled around in 3.5 hours. The greens and fairways were full but the greens were slower than they looked as it rained for the previous 36 hours. Putts didn't bump off line. Off the fairways had some typical Florida bare spots. Found an online deal for $33 and well worth that price this time of year. The bunkers here have a beautiful, round shape to them!

I played Ocala Golf Club while in Florida last month. It was my last round in Florida on the trip.

I was paired with a couple members who gave me bits and pieces about the course's recent history. In recent years the course has been through some renovations. In 2009 Michael Beebe re-did the greens and the bunkers. Apparently, the greens were redone again in 2015. The course is a municipal course, and one of the better ones that you'll probably play.

What you end up with after all those changes is a layout that that looks stunning, complimented by mature trees and modern looking green complexes! Even though the course is smack dab in the middle of town with shopping and homes an iron shot away, the outside activity didn't take much away from the experience.

I played the orange tees which are 71.2/125/6552 and I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting to get my rear kicked here! The fairways are large, there is lots of room off the fairways to find your ball, and there are five par 5's. Plus, there is very little water in play! At first glace, the course looks like one where you can go low. And for those low handicaps, Ocala GC shouldn't be too difficult.

For most amateur golfers though, the modern greens are going to be a huge challenge! A bit too much in my opinion :-) Most are slightly elevated and surrounded by bunkers or chipping areas. Because of their shapes and the surrounding bunkers, the greens need a very accurate iron shot. Shots short land into an upslope and shots long kick off a downhill slope. Whatever you do, do not miss over the back of these greens! My advice would be to putt from wherever you can, even from the fairway!

I paid $31, and for that price I expected average conditions. I'm pleased to report that everything was in solid shape! The course was firm with mostly tight lies, which was consistent with the other courses I played on the trip.The greens were full and rolled well, just a touch on the firm side from their recent renovation. I'd call them a medium speed. The tees and fairways were full and had the usual amount of divots that you'd expect from a plenty of play.

Ocala Golf Club is another good, local option if you aren't looking for the attraction courses like you'll find closer to Orlando. It has some good holes (the 12th and 14th are two) and is a good bang for your buck.

If you play here make sure to check out the awesome sculpture carved from a tree on the 4th. The tree was hit by lightning and is now a masterpiece!
