A very colorful course with plenty of tee shots over flowerbeds and quite pretty to look at with lakes all around (and the city skyline, far away), but not overly difficult if you can manage to land your approaches safely in the middle of quite a few sloped and/or elevated greens. The beautiful left dogleg par-4 1st hole looks like a postcard with plenty of colorful flowers in front of the tee box, its fairway along an elongated lake and another lake behind the green, and is followed by the nice and short left dogleg par-5 2nd, slightly-uphill all the way and with a green, easily reachable for an eagle opportunity. I also like the scenic par-3 4th hole, with flowerbeds all along on both sides of the fairway and its elevated green, the right dogleg par-4 5th, with a narrow tree-lined fairway and another elevated green, and the short left dogleg par-5 6th, with its two fairways split in the middle by trees where, once again, you might putt for another eagle. The last two holes are quite challenging, starting with the very pretty par-3 8th, with a view of the city from the tee box and its island green, and the scenic right dogleg par-4 9th, with a tee shot over a wide lake and an uphill approach to its elevated green. More water awaits you on the back 9, as you will find out with the right dogleg par-4 10th hole, with a narrow fairway separating lengthwise two small lakes (with another elevated green), and the left dogleg par-4 11th, with a tee shot over flowerbeds and an uphill second shot toward the green (next to a lake on the left). Then, after the gorgeous uphill par-3 13th hole, with more flowerbeds on both sides (in front of the tee box), the last three holes are tough, starting with the right dogleg par-4 16th, with a lake, midway (on the right), and four small bunkers, side by side (on the left) and a risky approach over a small lake to reach the green, followed by the right dogleg par-4 17th, with a tee shot over more flowers and a pretty second shot over the two lakes (split by the narrow fairway), and the nice par-3 18th, with a tee shot over a wide lake. Overall, this par 70 is quite enjoyable and with its short par-5 holes, you should have fun breaking par before heading, maybe, for more fun in Orlando's amusement parks...

Beautifully made and runs well lovley to look at great textures, my only niggle is most of the greens are the same, raised up and so lumpy, I played okay on it but felt anything I got out of the greens was sheer luck chip it onto the green and watch it roll away. so very unfogiving greens hard enough to hit the greens ands then when you get there its a bit of a lottery I like "hard" and "tough" but this was a bit too much to take.
