Shingle Creek 6/20/25- On a family trip to Orlando I decided to bring the sticks and make the most of my time when not at the parks. Staying close to Shingle Creek I decided this was a good price point course. Cost was just over $100 for a Friday 7:50AM Tee time. The Shingle Creek Resort and golf facility is very well done. The practice facility is top notch. Boasting a massive range, and large practice green. On the backside of the range there is a full training facility. A few restrooms located strategically throughout the course, with restocked jugs of water at each one. The bathrooms on course were well kept and clean, the stop at the turn boasted a bar and grill style with a good menu. The carts are really nice and new, have all the updated GPS systems, with speakers and comfortable seats, also a drop down cover for the rain.

The course itself, is a challenging resort course and I played from the Gold Tees (130 slope).
The greens had been punched about 2 weeks ago and still had not fully gotten back to a flat surface, I struggled getting my ball to stay on line. The fairways, bunkers, and tee boxes were very well taken care of. I saw no dead spots on the course, and no gators. Water comes into play on about 9 holes, and I managed to be near or in that water on all 9 of those holes.

I would recommend this place to not only stay but also to play.

Played Sunday, 5/19, final day of the trip, with an early afternoon tee time. Arrived about 10 minutes prior to tee time (Orlando traffic is crazy, everything is 30-45 minutes away, no matter the direction or time of day). Course pushed back our time to allow us to play as a 5, which we appreciated, except we ended up pushing a 3some in front, who was waiting on the 4some who took our time. Finished in about 4:15 and was told expected pace is 4:30.

Found the course in great condition, and typical of what we found for the entire trip. Tee boxes were level, but were a bit thin with the Bermuda coming out. Rough was almost non-existent, as it had been punched and cut to fairway height. You only knew you were in it by how it looked, rough Bermuda compared to a different fairway grass. Bunkers were white sand, thin top layer with a clay like base. Fantastic greens, incredible undulations and elevated with shaved run off areas.

Another great resort course. An Arnold Palmer Design Company redesign of the original (unknown when). Wide fairways and crazy greens. There is water on almost every hole. Service is top notch, don't ask for directions without expecting to be escorted (not pointed), even if it's right down the hall. High end golf carts with to-the-pin GPS. Drink cart and snack shack available with ok prices.
