    I would highly recommend the New course at Grand Cypress. You'll pay more than $80 but worth it, IMO. Played there Friday, course was in great shape. Also good is Reunion and Shingle Creek. Also check out Orange County National. A good municipal course is Dubsdread which was renovated a few years ago.

    Bout an hour. But, depends on which side of town you are starting from and where you are going.

    About and hour and 20 minutes, without traffic. Chances are though if he comes and sees me, I might be in Orlando or Tampa playing golf since apparently that is all my assistants and I do.

    It has been a long time, but I have a lot of wonderful memories on the two original Joe Lee courses at Disney. I think they were called the Palm and Magnolia and they fit the whole Disney Theme in that that they were fun and enjoyable. The last time I played a course at Grand Cypress I felt like I had been in a fight.

    When I come to visit I would much rather fish than golf. But my comment was more concerning the original post from the Super looking for places to play.

    Okay, fine. He can play here.

    Jason - when you visit, I'll be sure to have the boat ready. Lots of good freshwater and awesome saltwater fishing here. I try to take the boat out as much as I can, but lately it's been about once a month.

    Take him cave diving in the springs. That is near you, fun and different!
