Must play
Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge - Championship Course
Bay Hill is the Orlando headline because it has actual tournament gravity.
Strong play

Panther Lake is one of the smartest Orlando anchors because it is good, accessible, and paired with Crooked Cat.
Strong play
Orange County National - Crooked Cat
Crooked Cat is the other half of why OCN matters.
Strong play

International is useful and sometimes very good for the right group.
Strong play
ChampionsGate - National Course
National is the calmer resort companion.
Strong play
Reunion - Palmer Course
The Palmer course is the fun Reunion round.
Strong play
Reunion - Watson Course
Watson is the more tactical Reunion play.
Strong play
Reunion - Nicklaus Course
Nicklaus is the toughest Reunion course and should be sequenced accordingly.
Strong play
Shingle Creek Golf Club
Shingle Creek is the clean convenience play.
Strong play
Grand Cypress - New Course
The New Course is Orlando's best "wait, this is actually interesting" round.
Strong play
Grand Cypress - North/South/East
The original 27 holes are useful because they make Grand Cypress a real golf base rather than a one-course novelty.
Strong play
Disney's Magnolia / Palm
Disney golf is competent, convenient, and not the reason to fly to Orlando.
Strong play
Mission Inn - El Campeon
El Campeon is the sleeper for people who think Orlando has no old golf character.
