wayhey GOLF day!

[CityWalk]

We have decided to have a golf morning on our trip. Any tips on a good course??? We really dont want to be paying a fortune on green fees and club rental.

I received the following in an Orlando resident e-mail last week. They were the featured courses at the moment.

Depending on what time of year you are going you might fall on twilight discounts. When calling to make T-times ask about this and see what they say.

If you have an Entertainment coupon book there are several discounts for golfing.

Also, if you are a big golfer try stopping at a Play It Again Sports and checking out their inventory. A great place to find a bargain!

I would highly recommend Falcons Fire it is the most amazing course i have ever played, although a twilight tee time is the only way it will be cheap!!!

[FLGirl-UKNow]

Falcon's Fire is roughly $70, $50 or $40 depending on how late you start. That is pretty typical for the top courses. Clubs usually go for around $45.

Any Disney courses??? Have been looking at Magnolia
What time does it get dark at in September?

[dadio]

go on disney web site they have an offer on called price slice you can book online we have booked for sept 12oclock tee off time for $45 each half price . sorry cant post a link being new member n all

[dadio]

i think the magnolia course is closed for refurbishment getting ready for pga tour event oct not 100% tho

[CityWalk]

how did you book a tee off time for september it will only let me book 60 days before?

[inlimbo]

I'm looking into a round of golf too.

However i'm intrigued by the prices of twilight golf at the disney courses, you can play for $35 at Ospreys Ridge if you tee off after 3pm.

Any suggestions about the heat/humidity at this time in the afternoon? Light will be ok.

Is this do-able?

[FLGirl-UKNow]

The other thing to remember is the afternoon thunderstorms. With Orlando being the lightning capital of the world you don't want to be caught out on the course when a thunderstorm starts.

If I was booking I would do the back 9 at twilight.

[dadio]

definetly booked got conformation and all that

I'm in the high handicapper group, but played Lake Bunea Vista some time ago, its very good. I have read that the greens are in excellent condition.

I'm booked for LBV and Eaglepines this year.

The disney courses have a price break at 10 and 5 and various discount for Ap and DVC. Since last there I understand they have fitted GPS to the buggies so that you can tell how far to the pin. (nothing so far to help me find my balls :p: however as there are 4 gators and sevrel types of snakes on LBV I'm not looking to far ib the bushes

wdwgolf.com

should help with choices.

Club hire is $45

Tehre is an excellent course on International Drive. Very reasonable rates for twilight.

[davidjulie]

Sorry there is also a better (but slightly more expensive) course at Hunters Creek.

[georgemac]

gators & snakes - sorry then - no golf for me in Florida - although what an incentive to slow the swing down and keep the ball on the fairway!

[homerdog]

Osprey Ridge is my favorite Disney course. It's also in a peaceful setting, it feels as though you are miles from civilisation.

Panther Lake at Orange County National (off the 192) is another fantastic course, good value too :)

[Villainlover]

not sure when you go in September but

The Magnolia Golf Course is closed now until September 10, 2005. Work on the course will include resurfacing greens, laser-leveling tees, extending tee boxes and building new tee boxes, all in preparation of the FUNAI Classic to be held in October.
