It is definitely a super difficult course. High drama high stakes every turn. Beautiful views and the best of Florida wildlife. The rough is rough. You can lose your ball in the second cut. But the greens are really nice. They have good speed.

UCF’s home course - great rate for students and it’s in good enough shape for the price. Actually a good layout but I feel like UCF could pump some money into it to help the conditions.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Longwood, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
