I can't recall the outcome of the discussion, but I know the Florida courses forum had some discussion on this place. Wasn't overly positive...

I haven't played it in a long time. Used to be a good course with maintenance in line with the price. I always find I get what I pay for when it comes to golf courses.

I just played there this past December and it wasn't too bad. Just be prepared for some crowds. (the stay and play all day deal wasn't all that great because way too many people there and play was slow)

The course was in average condition. Not great but not so bad that I wouldn't go back.

The staff was really friendly and helpful.

If you want to play an amazing course in the area try Sanctuary Ridge. (used to be Diamond Player's Club) It is located in Clermont about half hour away from Orlando and has the highest elevations of any course in Florida. I played there yesterday and the greens were in amazing condition; the rest of the course was pretty good. It was only $30 online to book too!

I played Hunter's about a month ago. In my opinion it's a nice course to play an early round on if you are not looking to pay a lot of money. I played one of the first tee times, paid 35 bucks, finished in 3 hours then went and played a twilight round out at Providence. Hunter's is a typical non-resort course that you will find in the area. The polish isn't there but it gets the job done. The greens were in very good condition when I played it and has some interesting tee shots on a few holes. Decent course with no prestige. As for the practice facility the range is just long enough to be allowed to use the driver from the front of the turf. They have a nice practice green but not a separate pitching/chipping green.

Bottom line. Play it in the morning to squeeze in an extra 18 in your weekend before you play a nicer course for a twilight rate.
