This course was a gem, undulating greens running about 10 on the stemp meter just right for the amount of break on most putts. All the greens were elevated Protecting the greens from any shots falling short, With the grass Being
Somewhat dormant, it made it very difficult for any pitch or chip. However the saving grace what's that you could putt The ball onto the green. Beautiful views lots of wildlife and the staff were excellent. Valet parking bag drop And overall great customer service. The staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome. I totally enjoyed this course And would recommend it. as a must play to anyone visiting.

Shingle Creek Golf Club is located in a beautiful natural area at the headwaters of Shingle Creek — the point where the iconic Everglades ecosystem begins. You feel it immediately: fresh air, peaceful surroundings, water views, and stunning natural landscapes all around.
The course itself is one of the best in Orlando:
• perfectly maintained fairways
• thoughtfully designed holes
• picturesque views of the surrounding natural environment
• calm, elegant atmosphere
The service is exceptional as well — the staff are polite, attentive, and make you feel genuinely cared for. The entire space is clean, well-organized, and fully matches the level of a premium golf club.
Playing here is a true pleasure. The combination of a professional course and the serene Shingle Creek natural area creates a unique atmosphere you rarely find in city golf clubs.
Shingle Creek is definitely a place you want to come back to.

Shingle Creek Golf Club is a must play in the south orlando area. Every bit of the course and experience is perfect. The practice facilities are great and the staff at check in are very friendly and knowledgeable. The course puts up a good fight for the best public in the area. The fairways and general area was perfectly maintained with great views of the resort and over water bodies. The architect also did a great job with the trees, bunkers and length keeping the round difficult. The greens were also rolling true to their line and easily 10+. Conditions were great throughout. Can’t recommend this course enough.

I had the pleasure of attending the Greens for Hoops event this past April at Shingle Creek Golf Club, and I’m truly grateful for such an unforgettable day. From the moment we arrived, the setting was stunning lush fairways, winding creeks, and immaculate landscaping made it a beautiful backdrop for a girls’ basketball fundraising event.
Navigating there was easy; I used Google Maps to find the course at 9939 Universal Boulevard in Orlando, and it’s very centrally located just minutes from Orlando’s major attractions like the convention center, International Drive, and the theme parks.
Parking was smooth and convenient (no long walks or hidden lots), and once I stepped into the clubhouse and pro shop area, it already felt like a top-tier venue. The staff greeted us warmly, and the whole event ran seamlessly. The service throughout the course was excellent from beverage carts to marshals, everyone was friendly, attentive, and professional.
As for the course itself wow. Shingle Creek is an 18-hole, par-72 championship layout, designed under the Arnold Palmer Design Company banner, featuring rolling terrain, strategic bunkering, and water hazards on more than half the holes. The greens are often fast, undulating, and challenging so they’re fun for golfers who like to test their putting skills. Many holes force you to make smart, risk/reward decisions, which keeps the round engaging.
I should note: on busy days, rounds may take longer than expected (especially in the back nine), but given how busy and well attended the event was, that’s understandable.
Shingle Creek operates as a public / resort-style course, so you don’t have to be a private member to enjoy it. But they offer a Loyalty / Driver’s Club program (for local residents) that provides perks like a free round upon joining, discounted greens and guest fees, USGA/GHIN handicap service, and discounts on food, merchandise, and lessons.
If you stay overnight, Rosen Shingle Creek offers a “Stay & Play” package (you stay in their resort and play rounds at the course) great for combining golf with Orlando’s other attractions.
Surrounding amenities and food options are also quite strong, thanks to the resort infrastructure. The clubhouse and course-side food & beverage services are solid, and the proximity to dining, entertainment, and lodging in the International Drive area means you’re never far from something to eat or do after your round.
In short: Greens for Hoops at Shingle Creek delivered in every way from the venue to the course to the people. I will absolutely return next year (and even solo) just to enjoy the experience all over again. Highly recommended for event organizers, charity tournaments, or anyone wanting to enjoy a top-flight round in Central Florida.

The course is excellent with beautiful views. What truly sets Shingle Creek apart is the service, and it starts with Taylor at bag drop. The man is an absolute gem—warm, welcoming, and incredibly wise. He took time to share some priceless local knowledge about reading these famously “drippy” putts, and let me tell you, his tips saved me more than a few strokes once I got to those slick greens. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants every guest to have the best round possible.
