Looking for GOLF COURSE advice...

[rocky_1980]

Any golfers out there?

We (me,wife,3yo dau and in-laws) are flying down to Florida for our 1st trip to Disney in a few weeks. I want to take the father in-law out for a round or 2 of golf when the ladies have a shopping/sit by the pool day(s). He's not a strong golfer so I want to find a place that doesn't make him shoot 125 and doesn't make a lot of other golfers angry with our slower play (i'm not on the PGA either but I shoot low 80's ;o)

So...are there any public courses you have played and recommend? We are staying in Kissimmee. Also, does anyone know a good website to find deals? (free powercart,free rentals, cheap green fees, etc.) We won't be bringing our clubs

Any info you have would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

PS - Haven't swung a club since the end of Oct so I can't wait!!

I asked DH...golfs a lot in the area and had to think where might be reasonable....he says this place is decent...and last he was there included lunch and a snack in the round!

When we go to Florida, my husband, brother-in-law and father always go to Kissimmee Golf Club. I think this may be exactly what you are looking for.

My DH played at Osprey Ridge in Sept which is a Disney course. Here's a thread about golf at Disney if you're interested.

Last summer my DH played at Waldorf Astoria Golf Club. (right beside Caribbean Beach) He played in the afternoon and I think it was $40 which included the cart. He is a half decent player and he had a great time!
