A lovely resort experience I have played two tournaments there on the Junior tour powered by Under Armour Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. The some of holes are difficult. Very nice greens although they were slow each time I’ve been there.., very little rough.

This place is challenging with blind water hazards — definitely has resort vibes. I competed in the Junior tour powered by Under Armour 2025 here. There’s like a convention center next to it.. and it’s in the heart of a very busy area. It’s a nice place.

Magnolia is a grand expansive place with double and triple fairways each one very interesting and immaculately kept I play here regularly with Disney’s PGA junior league-shout out to PGA’s Mike Schlager and Coach Chris. The range is nice. The pro shop is awesome.

Eagle Creek is a great golf course in the Lake Nona area around Orlando. It offers a great driving range and short game area for practice. The course features wide fairways and is very scoreable if you keep your ball in play.

The grass is so thick it takes both hands to stick the tee in. Kind of a compact resort setup. Probably one of the best quality greens. A lot of these holes look simple, but are kind of tricky. They have a nice range here.
