SHINGLE CREEK GOLF CLUB (407-996-9933)
Florida Golf Course Review
Shingle Creek Golf Club came onto the Orlando golf scene in December 2003, with an 18-hole championship facility originally designed by David Harman, and the golf course
was completely redesigned by the Arnold Palmer Design Company in 2016. The property is situated in a prime location - minutes from the Disney resort area, and exudes class
and style in every sense of the word. This course is the centerpiece of the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort, which opened in September of 2006. The 1500 room resort features
oversized accommodation with luxurious beds, 9 dining choices, a full service spa, 4 swimming pools, tennis, beach volleyball, basketball and much more. For more information

From the moment ones checks in at Shingle Creek Golf Club, the wonderful service and amenities that define an experience here takes hold. Service attendants greet golfers at
the bag drop, and direct visitors to the stylish clubhouse which includes a spacious, fully stocked pro shop. The restaurant/lounge provides a nice atmosphere and comfortable
seating while it serves up a lunch and early dinner menu. A fabricated putting green is situated in the lounge, and from the brick patio one can view the outdoor sandwich shop
which serves hot and cold sandwiches, beverages and snacks. The locker rooms for men and women are quite luxurious - with private shower stalls, sitting areas and dark cherry wood lockers.
Shingle Creek Golf Club is also home to the Brad Brewer Golf Academy, one of the best golf instruction facilities in the nation. New to the academy is the new short-game practice
area that doubled in size from the original practice area, new state-of-the-art swing analysis and game improvement technology in the indoor hitting bays. Brad Brewer has
received numerous awards and recognition's, such as being ranked as a top 100 teacher by Golf Magazine and PGA class-A Professional.
There is a spacious grass range, putting green and short game area with practice bunker. Although the GPS will provide golfers with all the info they need to know, the course is
also marked with 150 yard stakes and sprinkler heads that are measured to the center of the green. Each tee area is also furnished with yardage blocks. From the 5 sets of tees
golfers will be able to choose from distances that play to distances measuring 7,213 yards, 6,600 yards, 6,213 yards, 5,582 yards and 4,945 yards.
Shingle Creek is a true Florida style golf course in a lush, natural setting that tests golfers with many risk/reward situations. And, although it meanders through the stunning
acreage of the Rosen Shingle Creek Orlando resort property, it is definitely not to be lumped into the typical "resort course" category. Seasoned players will appreciate the beauty
of their surroundings as they are constantly challenged to take their game to the next level, while even the most average of duffers will value the fairness of the challenging layout.
Long par fours and fives provide many opportunities to recover from errant shots.
The course is in excellent shape from tee to green. In total there are over 50 sand traps and waste bunkers, with water in play on 13 of the 18 holes. The fairways at Shingle Creek
provide generous landing areas for the most part, but players will find that many of the rolling fairways offer challenging lies. Fast greens are ample with dramatic sloping from
back to front, and provide very challenging hole locations with plenty of break.
Shingle Creek is conveniently located with easy access to the airport - ideal for a first round of a trip, or for the day of departure. Better yet - check into the Rosen Shingle Creek and
make it your home during your stay in Orlando. Excellent service, comfort and first class amenities and activities make it a perfect property for both vacation and business travel.
