COURSE REVIEW
Beauty is the word for Grande Lakes Golf Club in Orlando
This story about Grande Lakes Orlando highlights on the grandeur and beauty of this Central Florida resort golf course, where writer Derek Duncan writes that the resort area is truly worthy of the word "Oasis."
Appearing from what seemed like nowhere in 2003, Grande Lakes quickly earned a place among the other top luxury and golf resorts in the area. With a property consisting of the JW Marriott - a 1,000-room hotel - as well as the adjacent Ritz Carlton, the elegance of the resort is a throwback to famous Florida designs of the 1920s and achitects like Addison Mizner.

The Grande Lakes Golf Club, a Greg Norman design, more than matches up to the high-profile surroundings, writes Duncan.
The play will challenge any golfer, and such PGA Tour stars as Tiger Woods and Mark O'Meara have given their seal of approval to the golf course, its layout and conditioning.
According to Duncan, overall, Grande Lakes Orlando is a shining light for vacationers in Orlando, with the Grande Lakes Golf Club a fine addition.
