Golf Orlando, FL - Timacuan Golf Club - A Great Place to Play Golf, Orlando Golf Outings & Golf Lessons
We played here the last golf day, and fortunately it worked out to take the camera. It was supposed to rain, although the rain held off until we were done, although we did have overcast skys. This course is about 40 minutes north of the main attractions of Orlando, and in being so may be one of the better kept secrets for golf in Orlando.
We found out about this through the Superintendent at our course. It is cheaper in comparison to some of the sticker shock that you see in Orlando through our visits, and by playing during the week, it seemed almost as though we had the course to ourselves as a twosome. With exception to a couple singles we let play through. The course is in fantastic shape, and one of the very common traits is the amount of sand on the course as well as the amount of native waterfowl (I assume) to the area on almost every hole it seemed. It also struck me as having a few more hills than what I would expect from Orlando. The greens simply struck my wife and I as some of the truest rolling greens we have ever played on. Not sure if it is because we were used to off season up here, or holding them in comparison to Hawks Landing, but the greens were simply gorgeous. The course is not as stunning in scenery as Hawks Landing but is still naturally stunning in its own way.
It has it's own character in relation to its surroundings. From what I understand, I believe it also has a few professional members. We haven't played much golf in Orlando, and our last time out we played a course called Debary. Which I believe used to be or still is a Q-school course. It too was a cheaper in cost as well, although I think for a similar price and if you are looking for a place outside the Orlando area, this is a good option and one I would take over Debary. Actually, I would likely play here as opposed to Grande Pines, although it is about 40 minutes away from where we stayed, and is also located within a fairly nice development. For which they had some interesting things as well.
