The Metrowest Golf Club in Orlando, Florida could easily be the Audrey Hepburn of today’s array of golf vacation destinations. When all the others are getting rough and edgy, this golf course is effortless, fluid, graceful. While the others are in contention for beauty and scenery, no one could question that this is one golf course that has perfected grace.
Ironically, this course is the handiwork of the top pioneer of today’s 
rough and edgy designs, the legendary Robert Trent Jones Sr. He created a true breather of a course – a break from his usual designs, and an break from the cookie-cutter designs. The course measures more than 7,000 yards from the longest tees and plays for a par of 72. Five sets of tees are available for golfers of all skill levels. The Metrowest Golf Club flows, almost literally, with its layout of dramatic but smooth elevation changes of up to 100 feet. The holes wind around mature forests, spring-fed lakes, and wide fairways. Large, undulating greens along with shaped bunkers define the attitude of this course – a more than perfect complimenting element. And they all combine to create a golf vacation whose greatness is just incomparable.
In this modern age of golfing, where roughness and grace cannot 
seem to exist in the same world, the Metrowest Golf Club proves otherwise. There seems to be no natural and effortless and quiet calmness to any course that has a view of the city’s skyline except here. Whilst Orlando’s downtown area and its many, many amenities are but a stone’s throw away, guests are assured that they will get a great, peaceful golf trip here. Like a true lady, her beauty stands out even when caught in a pile of urban mess.
tees, par-73. Some of the best and most interesting features of this golf course is that there 5 par-5s on course that golfers have to contend with. And the rest of the holes are even more so challenged by the bulkheads, over 90 bunkers and incessant Florida wind. For the challenge-seeking golfer, that is beauty right there – in its sheerest, cleanest, most beautiful form. Beauty of beauties. For the skill-challenged, there is not a reason to fret thought. The layout has five sets of tees to choose from. This is one 
And speak of beauty, there is literally a huge helping of beautiful sights here too. It has preserved its nature endowments so well that the course is actually a holder of an Audubon International Sanctuary certification. Supposedly, there are only 600 of them around the world, handpicked, for being eco-friendly. There can only be so much beauty and value in a 
bustling city anywhere. There are, only healthy servings of natural wetlands, old-growth oaks and other forest trees, and a lot of nature’s sights and sounds that include but are not limited to gators, egrets, cranes, and otters. There’s a lot of golf here, too, and very few houses. The layout is a combination of European, some parkland, and some more Florida. Water plays on 13 of the 18 holes, and there are about 35 native sand bunkers on course that creates that generally fair play on whichever tee set it is being played on. And to complete the

its length, golfers are given six sets of tees to play from thereby accommodating pretty much most every golfer, handicap regardless. This layout sits on a rolling hill, a highland design that is nowhere near anything found in the Central Florida area – all 1900 acres of it. As golfers go through this course, they are taken in and around sweeping hillsides, thick forests and a former limestone quarry that adds a different flavor to the scenery. But what brings the ‘extra’ in extra special for 
That is, in comparison to its more difficult and generally tighter sibling course (and famed classic on the facility), El Campeon. But it could eat any golfer alive if they let it. This is a long-hitter’s paradise; non-long hitters must double their efforts in getting the best side of the course. But in general, when the length is not bothering the golfer, it should be a fun, memorable and scenic game. At 7230 yards from the longest tees, par 72, it could get pretty overwhelming. But there are some six sets of tees to choose from. That gives a rather different flavor to the usual Florida 
Despite its sibling course being more notably difficult, truth is, the 
the potential of the natural terrain; he was even more excellent when he highlighted it and created one very fine golf facility on top of it. The naturally rolling terrain of the locality suited the course well, or the other way around, and made it seem as if the course was crafted by Mother Nature herself. The absence of wetlands perpetually present in most if not all Florida golf courses was also something to marvel at the

He kept the natural flow of earth, added the holes where they are most interesting, put in some not-too-friendly bunkers, and waited and saw how golfers are going to conquer them with shot accuracy and technique. It was adjudged Florida’s most difficult both from tees for men and women. If Jack Nicklaus did that on purpose, nobody knows. The only thing sure is that he is up to giving guests a great, great 
comes to Disney. Everything about it falls under one or all of those adjectives; sometimes even more. Especially if it comes with the word Disney and Orlando, nothing could go wrong or ugly. Kids know that…and adults too! More so if they are golf loving adults who have had their shot at playing any of the five golf courses in the Disney World Resort, they will surely know how Disney spells fun and goodness. The 
something to say in yardage – measuring a good 6,957 yards from the longest tees, par 72. What is most notable in this course is the harmonious blending of beauty and challenge perfectly woven into the natural Florida surroundings. There was little and controlled interference into the indigenous flora and fauna thus they grow abundantly in the property. In fact, alligators, deer, and native species of birds are a rather welcome sight to guests. That and its game-savvy features of tree-lined fairways, elevated tees, 9 water holes and over 90 sand bunkers all come together to create a wonderful potpourri of fun, challenge, and beauty all in one 
There is nothing too unlovable about anything that bears the name Disney. Especially not if it is in Orlando and part of the magical fantasy-come-true paradise of the Disneyworld. But this is not all about the glittery world of Disney fairy tales that only children and children-at-heart love. Golfers actually find their own paradise here at any of the five championship golf courses. 
over 1,500 magnolia trees that add as much beauty and challenge to the course. Apart from the elevated tees, greens, and rolling terrain, one of the highlights of the course is a Mickey Mouse-shaped sand bunker on the 6th hole. Seeing the iconic Mickey Mouse shape on the course is enough a reason to believe there is something so magical about this course. No amount of magic, though, could give anyone a great scorecard. It takes shot accuracy and working techniques to conquer the Mag’s 11 water holes and 97 bunkers – including the Mickey Mouse one. The Joe Lee-designed golf favorite measures a lengthy 7,488 yards, par 72. But
