Just wondered.....does nobody play golf???

I have often thought this myself Karen! so I asked my husband Steve (who does play golf - I just drive the buggy!) to write about the courses that he has played locally...

He says he will - as soon as January is over (busy month for an accountant - all those self-assessment thingys due in....!! Confused

)

I had wondered as this was the only topic no one had posted in. Any info from Steve would be appreciated as we don't know much about the courses.

Maybe it should have been about Miniature golf. We have played a few of these and they are lots of fun. Might have to start a new topic for that and leave the real golf topic free for Steve!

The miniature golf has been on our "to do" lists for a few years now but we have never got around to it yet! There looks to be a good one just along the road from Walmart on the 192 (past Medievil Times). Really must make the effort in May.

My brother-in-law who lives in Orlando plays golf regularly. I'll ask him
for some suggestions for good courses too. Smile

Funny thing about that crazy golf Kev - we've been much the same as yourselves in that we've always looked at it, always threatened to do it - yet never have!!!

The friend we are going over with in April will be up for crazy golf rather than the 'real thing' - so I will suggest this goes on our 'must-do' list and will report back!
Very Happy

If you find any good one's Les - please let me know.

Aha!!

Did the mini golf by Formosa Gardens for a laugh one evening. that is about the level of my golfing ability.

It was actually a laugh, and as the sun sank down was quite pleasant. And I won!!

Will golf properly if someone invites me!

We always make time for a round (or two) of Mini (Crazy) Golf each trip. We also try to do a different one each time... Very Happy

So any ideas on the best of the miniature golf courses then? Idea

Last time we went we played at the Bonanza Golf at our end of the 192 - had a great view of Everest at Animal Kingdom from there...

We wouldn't recommend any particular one, as they're all good with the different themes... Just remember to cut out a coupon (chosen at random, as there's so many to choose) from the free books everyone picks up and get money off your game(s)... Cool

There's one just along the 192 from us (Nr Walmart / Med. World) so we thought about trying that one. I think the theme is Pirates. Have you ever been to that one?

We've been to one up there, but I don't think was the pirates one - can't for the life of me remember which one it was though.. Yet another senior moment (and i'm only 22!! - I wish).

We have played the two Disney ones (surprise surprise)

I preferred Fantasia Gardens out of the two. There are two courses to choose from at each location. Fantasaia Gardens has a course we haven't tried and it looks like a miniature golf course rather than crazy golf.

All lots of fun!

Where are the Disney ones located Karen. Can anybody use them or do you need to be a guest at Disney?

I can't believe you are talking about knocking a golf ball through a windmill with so many top class golf courses nearby.
I have a home on Southern Dunes which is rated as the 6th best course you can play in Florida. For less than £25 including your buggy it is for nothing.
Just up the road there is Championsgate with a national and international courses, Orange County. Falcons Fire, Highlands Reserve, St Cloud, Kissimmee,Blackbear, Diamondback etc etc etc.
This really is one of the premier golf areas of the world.
I play alot of golf both home and abroad and look forward to teeing off in Florida more than anywhere else I have played.
