| I see there is a $26 greens fee you can buy off e-bay.
Also is the Hawks Landing course nice ?

| I've played MGP twice - it's a typical inner Orlando resort course, trying to be what it's not (a British links course). It's pretty tough...Don't get me wrong, it is nice, but really expensive in season and I would much prefer to get out into the countryside for half the price.
Don't waste your time with Hawk's Landing, v.expensive. This course is squeezed into a small space surrounded by main roads. The back nine layout is a disgrace for a supposedly premium course.
I live here, let me know if you want to play at a weekend. I have to work the rest of the time! |

| Thanks Chris. Since you know the area courses maybe you can offer a recommendation. Staying in Orlando area (close to Disney) and would like to play 27 on MON and 18 on Tuesday. I'm a low 90's golfer and enjoy playing scenic courses. Like to keep the driving to a minimum and prefer courses with greens fees %50-$75.
Thanks

| I'd recommend the following based on price and proximity:
Hunter's Creek
St.Cloud
Ridgewood Lakes
North Shore
Legends
Southern Dunes (Pricey but awesome!)
Celebration...ditto

| Hi,
We played Grand Pines in July, and enjoyed it, but when our daughter and boyfriend came out in September, it wasn't in such a great condition.
Our favourite course is Diamondback...... our son got a hole in one on the 17th last summer!
Others we like:
Celebration
Stoneybrook West
Legends (Clermont)
Errol
Ridgewood Lakes
