Wendy Anderson, Broker & Owner Had a great time this weekend at the Waldorf Astoria Golf Club from the moment we pulled into the parking lot. The lot attendant was friendly and made sure we knew where we were going when we arrived. Golf shop again verified we knew where to go and the cart attendants rounded out the friendliness. Course was in very good shape and always so relaxing to play. It's a frequent course when we're in the area.

Golf Course Review: Waldorf Astoria Golf Club – Orlando, FL
The Waldorf Astoria Golf Club in Orlando is a truly beautiful course—scenic, well-designed, and a pleasure to play from start to finish. The layout is both challenging and enjoyable, making it a great choice for golfers of all skill levels.
The tee boxes were in excellent condition, and the pace of play was spot on, allowing for a smooth and relaxing round. While most of the greens were well-maintained, a couple could use a bit of improvement, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.
The staff was friendly and welcoming, adding to the luxury feel you’d expect from the Waldorf brand. We also enjoyed a bite to eat after the round—the food was tasty.
Overall, it’s a great course with beautiful surroundings, quality service, and solid amenities.

One of my favorite courses of all time. Fairways and greens were exceptional. It felt like I was chipping the ball off a carpet. Fluffy grass everywhere, even the rough felt phenomenal.
Service was great as well. This course is the one that stood out the most to me in my Orlando Golf trip

Staff is wonderful, friendly and courteous. Course in general is in good shape but the greens are in very poor shape, and #6 is in terrible condition. Don’t believe the reason the staff gave me “last hurricane soaked the greens and damaged them”, hurricane season is around the corner, greens are going to get even worse (unthinkable). IMO greens are sick and need to be fully replaced. Staff should be more honest and mention this during check in. Good experience, definitely, but a discounted rate should be applied until greens are in good condition. If not fixed, then book a different course, it is not worth it.

The course is great. The “player assistants” as they call them were sub-par from beginning to end. When I arrived at 9:15AM for my 9:50AM tee time, there was a 5-10 minute wait for valet at the bag drop area, which was so backed up I had to get out five cars back and walk my bag up and the “player assistant” didn’t bother helping or pointing me in the right direction.
After the round, the cart assistants came over and started cleaning my partner’s clubs but the minute I tipped him, they stopped and drove the carts away and never even cleaned my clubs. When I arrived at the valet to leave, there was nobody to be found and once I found the valet, he could barely be bothered with giving me my keys. Hard to believe this five star resort has the nerve to ask you to leave a tip when you check in considering the employees could care less about providing five star assistance. I expect such mediocre service at municipal courses, not the Waldorf Astoria.
As for the course itself, it was in good shape and a very enjoyable yet challenging course. The greens rolled inconsistently with some being fast and some slow, but overall a good course. If it wasn’t for the poor experience on arrival and departure from the course, it would be five stars.
