    One round to play in Orlando ?

    I'll be in Orlando in 2 weeks and i'll be able to sqeeze in 1 round. Any suggestions?
    I looked at:
    Disney's magnolia or palm
    Shingle creek
    Orange county national
    Grand cypress
    Maybe southern dunes
    Will I learn how to chip?

    My order of courses...

    Southern Dunes (disclosure -- I have a condo on the course so I obviously like it)
    Orange County National (I prefer Panther Lake... Play Crooked Cat if you prefer more links type **
    Shingle Creek (Nice near the airport so easy to squeeze in as you arrive or leave)
    Disney hospitality has been great when I played but to be honest I am not overwhelmed by the courses for the money. Prefer Palm to Magnolia.
    Grand Cypruss (more links type golf - I played it once very nice course)

    Of the courses on your list, I've only played OCN (Panther Lake) and the two Disney ones. I thought Panther Lake was an excellent course. It's pure golf... no houses / condos surrounding it. That would be my recommendation.

    That was supposed to be a close bracket not a.... ** wouldn't want you all to think I don't like links courses.

    Orange County National. Great courses (they used them for PGA Tour Q School) and an amazing range. They have good replay rates, so maybe 2 rounds on the same day at 2 different but great courses.

    I played 10 rounds at Shingle Creek and 3 at GrandCypress in November excellent course.

    But my top 3 choices would be;
    1) OCN - Panther lake
    2) Southern Dunes
    3) OCN - Crooked Cat

    Start early and squeeze 54 holes in. You can't go wrong with any of your choices.

    Well thank you all very much for the input. With all of your comments I finaly decided to try the OCN even if all the others seem very nice to. I've never played a PGA tour course so it seems fit to start with a Q school course first

    I'll let you guys know how it went, thanks again.

    I'm leaving today for a week... or maybe I am not leaving today... but that's out of my hands. No matter what I should make it there by tomorrow. Playing Southern Dunes, Panther Lake, then will see what happens after that.

    I concur! Played both. The annual Father/Son tourney used to be played there so that says a lot about conditions - perfect. They also have a lit par three. The hotels nice as well.

    Beautiful facility. Tough course, at 6900 for the first game of the season it was a challenge. Made a solid 9 on the ninth after 3 balls in the water. Consistency (or should i say the absence of) and an off/on slice was the story of my round has I shot a 46 on the front and them a 37 on the back. Thanks everyone for all of your inputs I'll be back to try them all in the future.
