OKW golf course views?

[Simba's Mom]

Which buildings at OKW have the best golf course views? We'll be staying in a 2-BR. Last summer we stayed in a studio that would have had a nice view, but the trees were so thick right around our balcony that we couldn't see anything. Don't want that to happen again-this time we want a real view of the golf course!

We always request a 1 BR and a golf course view.We have had some great course views and some not so great. Some of the best were Bldgs 24, 25. The new building that faces the lake next to the bridge near the HH would have a nice view of the green beside the water. Also the upper floors of the Blgd that has the island green behind it. We had a blgd once that was in the back part of OKW(don't remember the #). We had a great view of one of the tees. We sat out there and ate breakfast and watch the tee shots. The angle we had allowed for a view down the fairway and the landing area.
Best of luck. You will love the 2 BR whereever you are.

We just stayed in Bldg. 64 with a view of the 7th hole (I believe). WE watched the golfers (I am not a golfer, DH only has gone twice). The best thing was watching the scuba diver go and retrieve the balls in the water!!!!!

I enjoyed having my morning coffe on the balcony and watching the landscaping crew change the hole every day!!!

.This summer there was one guy with a ball retriever and a scuba diver battling over balls in a downpour. I yelled down that I saw about 10 go in just short of the green and they ended up with about 30.LOL
Here are a couple views from 1BDRs we have had of the Island Green:

madaco, is it called the Island Green? Looks like where we stayed.

We had a blast watching the scuba diver retrieve balls.

At first we were just sitting on the balcony and DD #1 and I thought it was an alligator or something in the water. We called out DH and we just sat and watched and watched.......Finally, he came up for air and we all gasped!!!

We took a picture of him and as soon as I figure out how to download my pictures I will post!!

I don't think that is the official name of that hole but that is the general name given to a green surrounded by water.That was building 64 as well.

We had bldg #16 one year, upper floor and enjoyed watching everyone's approach shot to the green and then putting out. DH stayed to watch a High School tournement one morning instead of going to MK with us!

But some years despite being on the golf course the angle is off or the trees are in the way. We just consider ourselves lucky when we get a good view.

Good luck!
