20 minutes from Disney

Stonegate Golf Club is a great example of how a course can be enjoyable for players of all ages and abilities. Designer Ron Garl laid the course out at over 7000 yards from the back tees for the "big hitters," but also ingeniously mapped out three more forgiving sets of tees. With water on eight holes and free-forming collars around the greens, there's a definite emphasis on the short game. After all, golf's most famous adage is "drive for show and putt for dough." Always meticulously groomed with rolling, tree-lined fairways, natural vegetation and wetlands, and a habitat to the native wildlife, what's not to like?! Whether playing 18 or 36 holes with its sister course, The Cypress, you'll treasure the memory of these two fine courses. Located in Poinciana, about 25 minutes south of US192 in Kissimmee and the Disney area.

3 - Diamond Back Golf Club

Diamondback is a parkland course set out in the wide, empty spaces of rural Polk County, southwest of Orlando. But the course squeezes itself into these wide-open spaces, with its tight, narrow, tree-lined fairways with tiny, itty-bitty, shifting, hard-to-hit landing areas.

Designed by Joe Lee, the course was carved out of 240 acres of virgin Florida forest about 30 minutes from Disney World. It has interesting terrain, from naturally swampy area to sandy, rolling hills. It's 6,805 yards from the back tees with a slope rating of 138, though the middle tees are 6,359 yards with a slope of 132. The shortest tees are 5,061 yards.

Lee put together an interesting layout, with a lot of risk-reward doglegs with intimidating obstacles at the corners.

The greens are average-sized and many are multi-tiered with some having up to three and even four different levels. They have some challenging undulation and slope.

7 - Mystic Dunes Golf Club

Carved from rolling orange groves and native protected wetlands, Champions Tour Player and NBC Lead Golf Analyst Gary Koch has created a masterpiece of blended philosophies and unrivaled challenges that is certain to go down as one of the most unique in all of Florida.

Greens reminiscent of Augusta National, par fours that rival in length to some of the longest seen in Professional Major Championships, and a diabolical quartet of par threes that seem to get more intense as the round progresses are just some of the outstanding features on this 7,012 yard, Par 71 track.  Meticulous course conditioning guarantees superior playing conditions year-round with special attention given to the greens complexes that feature at least fifty yards of tiff-dwarf grass surrounds, allowing for an unlimited variety of shot types and strategies.  Five sets of tee boxes offer every level of golfer the ability to play from the distance that makes a round of golf enjoyable and with just enough challenge to keep the player’s interest piqued.  Back tees (Black) are reserved for the professional or low-single digit handicap amateur only.
