  Wow, this Gary Koch designed layout has been fully restored. Great work by Troon Golf elevating the golfing conditions and overall esthetic of this unique layout. New golf carts with GPS, all greens in great condition, and after a hard spring the first four fairways have finally grown in after sprigging two years ago. They are not done, expanding some tee boxes to offer new approach angles for the par threes. Overall, it’s a great experience.

  My group of eight had just played three days at the Reunion Resort courses (Nicklaus, Palmer and Watson), so we came in with high expectations. Unfortunately, Mystic Dunes @ $120 was not as good as the muni course we play. The greens are a joke. Unplayable undulations and tiers and many were in poor condition. And the speed varied from green to green. There were waste bunkers that are unplayable as they have been plowed as if they were getting ready to plant something. Balls would land and just disappear. Normally waste bunkers are crushed shells so you can actually play out of them. On a positive note, the facilities are very nice and the staff was very courteous and helpful.

  The layout of the course is great. The clubhouse and restaurant were both nice. Tee boxes and fairways were very good. My issue is the price ($120-October) for out-of-state residents, compared to similar courses in the area. I know they are putting money into the course to get it back to where it once was, but the greens were really disappointing as they has lots of fertilizer and bare spots. I think to get more foot traffic they need to lower the price until greens improve. My group played 5 different courses in the price range and this one was towards the bottom.

  The draw to play this course is supposed to be the unique and challenging greens. Unfortunately, most of them are in terrible shape. They've talked a good game about all the money that's being pumped into improving the course. It's a tired old story and the greens never improve. And........for the $$ they get for greens fees...........well, there are sooo many better options in the Orlando area. Don't fall for the sales pitch.

  This was my second time visiting this golf course, and I have to say—it was a very different experience from my first. To start with the positive: I’m a local, and my buddies (who golf a lot) invited me here for the experience. The first visit was excellent! The course was impressive, the overall vibe was great, and the restaurant is an absolute gem—seriously, the food is a must-have. Probably one of the best golf course restaurants I’ve visited. Unfortunately, the second visit didn’t end on such a high note. Everything started off great again, and we were enjoying the course and the scenery. We paid for 9 holes and with the beautiful views around us, we took some time to grab photos and videos to share with friends and social media. We genuinely wanted to promote this place because it's a business that, in many ways, deserves to be shared. However, near hole #6, things took a turn. A staff member—apparently in charge of the golf carts—approached us in a way that felt unnecessarily aggressive. There was no clear signage or communication about cart return policies or a specific time they needed to be back, but we were told (rather abruptly) that all carts had to be returned by 6:30 PM. Instead of respectfully informing us or giving a friendly reminder, his tone came off as rude and unwelcoming. We even asked if everything was okay and if we were good to continue playing. His short, almost irritated “yes,” followed by a comment about no driving on the grass!—when we were clearly staying near the path—felt very targeted and condescending. We’ve seen plenty of players driving more freely on the grass, yet we were being followed and made to feel uncomfortable. This interaction left a bad taste, especially since the rest of the staff had been incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming throughout the day. It’s unfortunate how one employee's poor attitude can leave such a negative impression. We didn’t even get to finish the 9 holes we paid for, and instead left feeling like we weren’t welcome. What’s more disappointing is that we’re not just casual drop-ins. We regularly spend $300+ per visit, tip generously, and I even bought merch to represent a place I thought I’d keep returning to. Now I’m honestly regretting that. I’m giving 3 stars purely because of the great food, the wonderful staff we encountered otherwise, and how beautiful the course is. But the loss of 2 stars reflects how my friend and I were made to feel—like we weren’t valued customers, but rather a nuisance. That’s not how good hospitality works! Original Review Update The manager, Corey, reached out to us about our experience, and we really appreciate his help and understanding. We’re currently planning a return visit and will be updating this review soon. 👍
