It is not an everyday occurrence that one finds an entirely different 
paradise without going too far out from the city. Unless, of course, if the city in question is Orlando. Not every city in Florida, or in America for that matter, could get from one world-class theme park to a high-end golf course in a matter of minutes. From family-oriented ones to golf vacations, one can get it all in here. Orlando, without a doubt, is just too full of surprises – and there is just no room nor reason for disappointment. One of the best surprises Orlando is the new Mike Dasher creation, the North Shore Golf Club.
This golf vacation destination is located a short 10-minute drive from the Orlando International Airport, in the southeast end of the 
city. Dasher created a complete spectacle here, with two very distinct nines meshed all too perfectly, something only a true genius could create. The front nine of the North Shore Golf Club features a modern links style layout of sorts, with a lot of natural wetlands, marshland preserves and native vegetation. The back nine is different, though not contrasting, with its thick mess of centenarian oaks growing liberally on undulating fairways. Together, the 18-hole spectacle is an entirely different world – separate from the rest of Orlando.
Surprisingly though, the North Shore Golf Club contains one classic Florida golf feature: water. There is water on both nines, melding well with all the other course features that include some of Orlando’s best and fastest TifEagle greens. The course measures a good 6,898 yards from the tips with multiple tees to accommodate most any handicap. The only thing not surprising about this golf course is the fact that golf trips here are going to be fun. Very fun.
Clifton has made sure every inch of this large property gets to proper use and that nothing goes to waste. True enough, the course is filled with all sorts of hazards and features that are meant to stun, trick and provoke the golfers. Its 18-holes meander through and around premier kind TifEagle greens, wide tree-lined fairways, strategically-placed shaped bunkers, and some thirteen sparkling lakes. Apparently, they don’t mean to act as mere decors. They sting when golfers let them. Now, is there room for surprise and question as to this course’s being a

Just a little outside of Orlando, a golf course holding a 4-star rating from Golf Digest’s Places to Play and holding just as much heart, has been the best-kept secret of Orlando golfers: the

In this case, large and sparkling white sand bunkers and water hazards playing on each one of its 18 holes accentuate the perfectly maintained greens and wide fairways. This gives the course enough grit and teeth to make every round here challenging. But it is generally playable from any one of the four sets of tees, the longest being 7,016 yards long, par 72. This makes it an ultimate favorite for
