Cant recommend the above site highly enough. I used it last year when I visited Orlando and payed around $25 per round (inc buggies) for $100 courses. Basically you can bid on the tee-times.
I've played both the Orange County National Courses and can highly recommend the Panther Lakes Course.
Also played Grande Pines (tricky greens) and Hawks Landing (Great Condition)

YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TO MUCH GOLF GEAR :-)

Wilo, I played Mystic Dunes 2-3 times on my last visit to Orlando (about 6yrs ago).
It was right next to our apartment and we got reduced green fees etc through vouchers organised by our landlady. (at the time me and my mate hired Callaway Clubs, green fees and buggy hire for less than $50 a head). GPS on the buggies also able to order food and drink from the buggie, all delivered by a lovely young lady.
Typical Florida resort style course, with wide fairways and lots of sand (both in the traps and along side some of the fairways). One of the holes has a fairway bunker, that sits in a dip in the fairway and has a wooded face that's about 10ft high...:eek:
Some nice holes, with a couple of nice par 3's, one plays over swampland between tee and green, the other over water. The course wanders between opne land and apartment blocks.
The greens were massive and extremely undulating with some serious elevation changes on some (couldnt see the bottom of the pin from thelower level of the green -think it was the 10th or 11th).
Nice and relaxed in the bar, clubs loaded on cart etc and free balls on the range.
There was a great shop at the top of Intl Drive, cant remember the name.
have a good un. CG
So many courses to choose from! I have used the ezlinks.com website for 4 years now and have always had some brilliant deals. You can get a deal on the 4 seasons for about $80 a round and it will normally cost $250! At the other end you can play St Clouds for about $15 including buggy! Grand Pines is a must. Tiger's favourite and owned by Troon Golf (owners of The Grove in Herts).
Try some of the "executive" courses (par 3's and really short par 4's), These can be really testing and great short game practice. Generally takes 2 hours to play 18 holes, cheap too.
Lots of coupons in the free golf magazines (pick these up in any of the areas golf shops, Edwin Watts etc.
If you want to play on the fastest greens EVER, try Southern Dunes, about 40 mins south of Orlando, http://www.southerndunes.com You won't regret it.:)
