My husband loves to play golf and I am quite decent at sports myself. So, we were to play several times in Orlando. We experienced a lot of golf courses directly and enjoyed numerous golf courses in the Orlando area.
I got an opportunity to talk with Mike Jamison from Golf Orlando to get a better overview of the vast golf facilities that the Orlando district has to offer.
1. Orlando is not only the world's No. 1 holiday destination, it is also called "Ultimate theme park of golf". Please tell me more about it.
Sitting in front of you is occasionally a clear answer, but is it interesting to take days, months, years to see it?
GolfOrlando, a marketing cooperative official, recently noticed that they ultimately pinned the perfect marketing tagline of their 25 course organization.
For many years, the group had Orlando as a different theme from the competition in golf course warfare. One day a member asked. "What is Orlando known for?"
What is the obvious answer? Theme park. Orlando is the No. 1 holiday destination in the world, and a collection of amazing theme parks is playing the leading role.
At that moment, the perfect theme line crystallized. "GolfOrlando - Golf & # 39; s Ultimate Theme Park"
Orlando's Vacation Pitch - It reflects the diversity of the Central Florida's golf landscape as well as the theme park base, which is a wonderful fit. Orlando's golf offers its own type of outdoor adventure.
2. Please tell us the types of golf course available in the Orlando area.
Looking for the taste of Britain? In the Royal St. Cloud, how is the place where all the holes moved to the legendary course of the British islands where the British junior amateur in 2004 and 2005 was operated? Try the very popular Ron Girl design for Scottish touch. Eagle Creek near the Orlando International Airport has an open rolling fairway, a big and wavy green, and a dangerous bouncing bunker scattered in Scotland landscapes. Eagle Creek was recently ranked in the top ten of the new course over ten years in Florida by Golf Travel & Leisure and it was Orlando's first par 73 course and used Mini Verde Green for the first time.
On the north side of Orlando is Timka Ann Golf & Country Club, one in the state in Florida. Its front side offers the true flavor of Scotland and back 9 tastes a country atmosphere with lower calorina. Long two water-controlled par 4 holes 2 have recently been chosen as the second most difficult hole in Central Florida, Area Florida. Timacuan is a local favorite.
It is a very similar route of Arnold Palmer, waiting for you on the south side of the town. Legends at Orange Lake opened in 1998 and features Scottish style front 9 (The Links) and tree back 9 (The Pines). The feature hall is 13th with 432 yards, which is called 610 yards on Link 9, island oak.
Do you need a drama? As Client's Diamond Place club has spectacular altitude changes, this course is sometimes called "Florida Mountain Course". When dealing with Mystic Dunes & # 39; you need to be frustrated. A green complex. They offer slopes that fall as much as 10 feet. The elephant trunk may be dug up from several deep mounds. Also, some fairways are equipped with a whiskey barrel bunker as a guide post. This Gary Koch design course expresses the word "adventure" as well as highland reserve which is a golf experience like a roller coaster with an altitude change of 120 feet and dramatic landscape. To the south of Highway 27 is another course featuring Steve Smyers & # 39; South Dunes, Central Florida with unusual altitude changes. Coupled with the richness and creativity of bunkering, Southern Dunes is ranked as "100 Modern Course" of Golf Week, but it is easy to understand.
excitement? Rees Jones 'Falcon' # Fire has several thrillers, especially its Cape Hall, par 4 13th. This will dare to bit more things than you can bite. It is attractive to hit a big tee towards the green, but money play, use more fake angle and fairway wood,.
If you are a traditionalist, the options are infinite. Single creek is the newest of the traditional Florida layouts, alongside historic single cliques, lined with oaks and pines of oak. Another advantage is that the location is near the main tourist sites. Harmony is the design of Johnny Miller that falls into this category. Its strength is in a green complex featuring green bunkers, creating a variety of difficult pinouts. Ridgewood Lakes provides a beautiful cruise through the hardwood of Highway 27 and finishes the journey with a wonderful finishing hole.
How about walking nature? Designed by Ron Garl, the Stonegate Golf Club is surrounded by 3,300 acres of original wetlands, forests, 100-year old oak hammocks and emphasizes short games. Mike Dasher's North Shore seems to be deep inside the country, as it is comfortably sitting in a lush environment, but it is conveniently located 7 miles from Orlando International Airport. The Joe Lee design diamond back in Haines City is engraved from the 240-acre native forest, densely trees, natural wetlands in nature, dramatic rolling encounters with well-placed flood damage We will provide a fairway.
If convenience is important, it is located near the tourism department of Universal Studios and International Drive, so Metro West is a perfect choice. It is a masterpiece of Robert Trent Jones Jr., featuring a wide range of fairways and challenging approach shots. The Grand Pines (Grande Pines) is a recently refurbished Smyers design and features a number of excellent risk / reward holes. Celebration golf club located near Walt Disney World is designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr. and focuses on approach shots.
Is fame important to you? The two courses of ChampionGate are held once a year in favorite Office Depot Father / Son Classic among numerous PGA and senior PGA tour players. Orange County National holds a second round of PGA Tour qualifying rounds on two courses, Panther Lake and Crooked Cat, offering a wide variety of tests to challenge and decide tomorrow's professional stars.
Some people are enjoying walking straight to the hotel's door to the first tee. In Orlando, we offer several choices of staying and playing buffs, including Hawk & Landing. Hawk & # 39; s Landing, formed at the luxurious Marriott World Center, was recently completely refurbished by Robert Cupp. It has water in 15 of the 18 holes, and it has its own version of "Amen Corner" (Halls 12, 13, and 14).
That little taste gives you the idea of diversity gained through GolfOrlando, which is really "the ultimate theme park of golf".
3. Please tell us about the golf practice facilities and education experts available in the Orlando area.
Some of the most respected teachers in the game, such as David Leadbetter, Mike Bender, Lina Litton, Bill Madonna, Brad Brewer, Fred Griffin, etc. demonstrate magic in Central Florida.
Orlando has some of the best practice facilities in the country. The Faldo Institute and Orange County National do not just practice tea and green. The landing site in the driving range is similar to the real target and hazard on the course. A very short match practice area will help better players fine-tune their important parts of the game. However, Orlando's crowning jewelry is a course. From top to bottom, Orlando offers the highest quality golf at every destination in the world. Nearly all exits of I - 4, whether on either side of Orlando, lead directly to a memorable golf experience.

9. In addition to golf, what else is there besides Orlando?
Let's face that country. There are no areas of diversity as well as adventure and of Orlando which is one of the world's top holiday destinations. Theme parks, theme parks, other theme parks Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, Kennedy Space Center, etc. smile the world of holiday from Central Florida.
Nightlife and restaurants are rivals with those in any other area. Tourists gather in various places around Orlando including Universal City Walk, Pleasure Island, International Drive etc. But to see how local people enjoy it, let's go to Winter Park Village on the north side of the city. A wonderful restaurant or club fills your tummy and your evening.
10. How is the weather all year round? How about going to Orlando?
Weather leads to golf throughout the year. The average daytime temperature ranges from 72 in January to 89 in July. Golf can practice and practice a lot of that day featuring a sunny blue sky, lazy wind, cool and comfortable night, 365 days a year.
Another important reason is the ease of travel. Orlando International Airport welcomes direct flights from this country and most major airports in the world. And thanks to well planned major highways, access to and from Orlando is very easy.
