Redington Beach and Kissimmee/Orlando recommendations

[left hand low]

Going to be in both places coming up in the next week and half and should have time for a couple days of golf. Can’t travel too far, so Streamsong is out.

 

For Orlando I am staying in Kissimmee off Poinciana between Irlo Bronson and Orange Blossom.

 

Hit me with some recommendations as I’m having trouble figuring where to play. Don’t want to hit big money for rounds but would like to keep it under $80-100. I know summer rounds should be a bit cheaper. Also 3 handicap if that helps.

Falcons, Celebration, Disney, Orange Lake Legends, are all right there. Championsgate also isn’t too far although international is closed.

How would you rate those top to bottom?

Check out Southern Dunes... it is near Haines City which is east of where you are staying. Often listed as one of the top courses you can play in Florida

I’m a little biased I used to be the sup at Falcons ages ago, so Falcons first (was the best public in Orlando when I was there), then championsgate, Disney (Palm and Mag), celebration, legends.

 

I won’t guarantee playing conditions but I my experience Falcons and Championsgate were typically among the best in the area. Championsgate is a little more of a challenge, than Falcons. Disney tracks are typically in good shape but sometimes crowded, but each played host to the PGA Tour so that’s pretty cool (make sure to check out the back tee on 17 if the Mag). Celebration is typically in good shape, although their ownership group has been in trouble and restructured recently so not sure if it affected their properties adversely or not. Legends is the same boat as celebration, although it is a fun layout that will use every club in the bag.

 

I haven’t been to southern dunes in years, I know they lost greens since I have been out there. I assume they have gotten them back.

 

I only recommend those b cause they’re close to where you are. Falcons, Celebration, and Legends are aligned on 192 (Irlo Bronson), Championsgate is an exit or two down i4 and Disney is right across from Falcons.

Southern Dunes did lose there greens and completely re-did them. I played there when it re-opened in December 2016.

You would want to play ChampionsGate CC instead of ChampionsGate Resort.

 

Southern Dunes would be a must. Celebration is usually a quality experience. Falcon's Fire is solid. If in good shape, Orange Lake Resort - Legends course is really good. Also, if Providence GC is in good shape, that's a solid course as well.

 

I would check with courses to see their aerations schedule, first and foremost.
