Friends & family trip to Orlando and a few of the guys would like to golf one day while everyone else does the parks. What are the best golf courses close to the top parks (Walt Disney World, Universal Studios)?
I don't golf, so I can't weigh in too much, but I know everyone loves the Disney courses. I used to work at a bar at the Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course and it's really pretty! Sorry I can't help more.
Hello Colby. Try the Grand Cypress Golf Club. I have stayed at the GC twice and realized they are open to public play. I think what you just need to do is call the Grand Cypress and reserve tee times. Golf course is amazing!
Hope this helps.
I would look into Shingle Creek Golf Club. Great golf course and typically in good shape. Might be your best price option for a good course that would be friendly to different playing abilities.
Try Reunion Resort. They have an incredible course and golf school, and they are just six miles from Walt Disney World Resort

There is a place in Celebration (Owned by Disney) that has a community golf center. Celebration Golf Club. I know someone that works there and its a very neat place. It's really close to the Disney Parks and right off of US HWY 192. Hope this helps :)
**Now if you're looking for a mini golf area, there are many right off of the 192 road, and they're all pretty much the same.
Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club is a great course to play although my favorite in the area is Hunter's Creek Golf Club. It’s an absolutely beautiful course and very close to Disney World if you’re staying there. I took lessons at Windermere Country Club and loved it. I’d say I’m an intermediate golfer and I found it less intimidating than a lot of the other courses in the area. A good friend of mine plays at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge and loves it although he’s a more advanced golfer than I am. I would say Bay Hill and Stonybrook.

A majority of the Disney Resorts have all kinds of gold courses.
