Yeah for sure... tee time is booked for 730 am just a matter of calling LBV course and seeing if you can join up.

Planning a trip to Orlando for November 4th to 10th with the family. I’m going to sneak out atleast one morning for a round. My hotel has a partnership with Grand Cypress so I’m thinking that will be the spot unless I can get on Bay Hill somehow. What is the best 18 to play at Cypress?

Welp, just looked at this course on google maps. Lots of water. Looks like I'll be playing cheaper balls. My Wisconsin swing won't be in great form.

Indeed it was a good and fast paced round. Swing didn't feel too awful for having been in hibernation since November. Early returns on the F8+ are positive also.

Planning a trip to Kissimmee for the end of April/beginning of May. I've been looking through Orlando threads and have come up with this list. If you had to pick a combination of two off the list, what would they be? I'm thinking $150 bucks total, give or take. That could be two rounds at $75 or one at about $55 and one at about $105 (Waldorf maybe). If you think I left off a course that should certainly be on the list, let me know.
* Waldorf Astoria
* Grand Cypress
* Celebration
* Falcon's Fire
* Hawk's Landing
* Waldorf Astoria
* Grand Cypress
* Celebration
* Falcon's Fire
* Hawk's Landing
my opinions in bold
* Waldorf Astoria overrated and overpriced
* Grand Cypress tons of fun, definitely worth a trip
* Celebration fun and usually in good shape. a little overpriced
* Falcon's Fire fun and can be had for a good value
* Hawk's Landing avoid
some others to consider:
* harmony golf preserve. really fun if it's in good shape. problem is they'll lie to you about conditioning so there's no way to know until you get there.
* royal st cloud. it was in terrible shape when i went and i wrote it off. but a couple other thp'ers went there and loved it so might have recovered.
* eagle creek. when it's in good shape it's a ton of fun. but the hurricane hit this course (and its cash reserves) hard, so not sure what it's like now.
* tranquilo golf club. beautiful, challenging, and usually in stellar shape. but expensive.

Thanks CA! It seems as though Tranquilo is top notch but might be private now. Maybe from your picks I would go with Grand Cypress and Celebration. Although I read somewhere that Grand Cypress New has greens with double holes which I'm not a huge fan of. Will you be around that week?

i'll be damned, that's news to me about tranquilo. that must be pretty new. i played there last year. over the summer they'll run rates in the $30s, which is stupid cheap for a course that is so beautiful.
i believe grand cypress has 1, maybe 2 holes that share greens. the greens are HUGE, so it's really not an issue.
i'll be here end of april / early may. would love to get in a round with you. gotta keep prep'ing for the morgan cup!

Hawks Landing.
Im planing a round there at the end of May. Whay should I Avoid that place?
I am also booked into Grand Cypress for a round.
i was very disappointed. the practice facility was an after thought. the staff were rude. the conditions were very poor. and yet it was still pretty expensive given its location. much more interesting courses for better value.
