Below average experience for above average pricing
Super below average. Clubhouse is an absolute confusing mess to locate after having to park on the far side of the hotel with no cart shuttle/pickup. Starter seemed totally out of sorts, not friendly/welcoming. Rental clubs were in trash condition (outdated Apex irons, no head covers thus dinged up) . Greens were decent (would roll about 8 on stimp) but poor course conditions given the high price. We waited on nearly every hole. Overall, not a good value for a declining course.
Best of the 3 at Reunion
Worst thing of the day…..saw the cart person ONCE all day.
Rest of the day was great. Course conditions were really good. Greens were perfect. Saw a few previous reviews about how slow and uncut the greens were on Watson. Definitely not the issue now. Not lightning fast but def quick. Great shape. Other than a few weed areas in the fairways the course was excellent. IMO, the best of the 3 courses here by FAR. Great layout. Great look off of each tee box. Range was good. Personnel was super friendly. At the off season rates right now, this course is almost a bargain around Central Florida. Highly recommended.
Good course but greens very slow
Nice course greens was too long needed cutting and rolled fairways very good. The fact the greens was very slow and too long spoilt the game.
Great layout, but shaggy grainy slow greens, so low value
Scratch golfer. Shot a frustrating 75 from the tips. A decent challenge on a fun layout. But maaaan, $90+ for greens that were cut too high, not rolled, and thus super grainy and ultimately too slow for the caliber of the resort was frustrating. I play better greens on many $25 public courses. This place is not worth the money they are asking. A birthday disappointment for sure. I bet things are top notch in the winter for the members. But the public and resort guests are being somewhat ripped off in the summer. Green fees should be $65 absolute max unless the greens are fast, true and perfect. No real golfer cares about anything else.
Fantastic day
Golf Course was in fantastic condition, staff were very friendly. The pace of play was not bad. I would definitely recommend this course.
SLOW PLAY
No Marshall's. Had up to 3 groups at a time waiting to tee off. Slowest round I have played in years
Great course and value
The course was in good shape. The fairways and tee boxes were in goo shape. The greens were almost over the work done on the greens which took place a week of so before we played. Overall the pace of play was good as we finished in just under 4 hours,
Proper golf
Reunion is one of those golf courses that do things properly. It starts with a meet and greet, taking you clubs to your allotted cart at the starters hut. Helpful friendly starter, great range with free balls. Courses are in fabulous condition and well manicured. They can be as challenging as you wish with good tee box distribution. Just a great day out and worth the money. Just one disappointment- the less formal clubhouse restaurant closes at 5pm. Would have been nice to have eaten our evening meal there after golf.
Average condition for a quality course
We always enjoy a visit to any of the Reunion courses but were disappointed this time with the quality of the course - lots of dry patches on fairways and generally poor condition although greens were true. Also very slow and nothing done to move along the slow groups
