Customer Reviews (31)
1/31/2013 - Was great to be back to El Diablo. I have played here a number of times, but wasn't able to get down last year. Course as always was immaculate, greens well cared for and true. Fairways were in great shape. If you want a great deal at a very interesting and fun course to play, this course is well worth the drive. Posted by Shaun D. Bath NH (St. John'S, NL CANADA .)
1/16/2012 - Great layout, staff very helpful. A fairly long drive from Tampa but worth it. Posted by Robert (Aberdeen Ab140px, UNITED KINGDOM)
3/17/2011 - Love this course, have played 5 or more years in a row...always play 36 as it is a great value...course was in wonderful shape, staff were helpful and pace of play was great (36 holes in 7 hours). I really enjoy the layout as it offers a variety of challenge dependent upon what tee you choose to play. It's a bit of a drive but well worth it. Posted by Shaun (Bath, NH)
2/3/2011 - Nice golf course with true greens and good elevation changes. Posted by Paul (Elkridge, MD)
1/6/2011 - Very Nice. Staff helpful. Good value for money. A bit of a drive from Orlando but we were aware of that when we booked Posted by Jocelyn (MK44 3WH Bedford, UNITED KINGDOM)
3/4/2010 - Tough golf course but fair. Glad we played 36 holes. Many holes aren't driver holes and it paid off on the second round knowing what to play. You better be able to hit it straight and long to score on this course. No room right or left of the fairway. Greens were in good shape and fast. Posted by Earl (Cheboygan, MI)
2/5/2010 - Great course and it worked out well because we played it on our way home. Posted by Benny (Bardstown, KY)
12/22/2009 - One of my favorites, worth the drive from Orlando. Go early and get in two rounds. Beautiful, tight and unforgiven, just what you would want on a great course. Posted by Don (Houston, TX)
12/4/2009 - My favorite course on the trip. Still largely undiscovered, so no problem with a replay and round moved as fast as we wanted. Posted by George (Manistee, MI)
11/25/2009 - Great course, friendly staff and everything reasonably priced. Ordered our 10th tee food at the start and all was ready when we called. Our only negative comments would be some greens had not recouvered from overseeding. Posted by Uel (Tyrone Cookstown, United Kingdom)
4/3/2009 - Well, someone has been splashing the cash here since we last played. The trees seem to have disappeared, the vines which were taking over had been mostly cleared, the fairways which where quite bare last time seemed to be in good condition, and the greens were excellent. It's another favorite of ours. Posted by Chris (East Yorkshire, UK)
3/13/2009 - I love this course...Have played it before and will continue to play it for a longtime to come. Well designed course that requires a variety of shots to score. Course is immaculate as are the tee boxes, waste areas, and all the surrounding landscape. Greens are fast and true and were in excellent condition when we played. Interesting bunkering and good use of contouring...For the $, one of the best values I have found in 20 years of FL golf. Play it and you'll agree! Posted by Shaun (Bath, NH)
3/12/2009 - A terrific layout. Enjoyed the setup of the holes. Fairways not quite as manicured a shape as pictures show but drought conditions may be responsible. Loved this course!
Posted by David (Kenmore, NY)
3/12/2009 - Beautiful course - well kept secret! Just a long trip from the Kissimmee area. Tough course for those that haven't played all winter. Posted by Craig (Indianapolis, IN)
3/6/2009 - We came back to this course after playing it two years ago and it keeps getting better. They keep making improvements and I'm looking forward to playing it again in the future. The greens were a little slow, but overall it was a very nice course.
Posted by John (Poplar Grove, IL)
2/16/2009 - Great little course amongst the pines and oaks....greens were unfairly LONG and not cut recently, making a different game out of it. Nice help and food service.
2/1/2009 - Outstanding course. Every hole isolated. I've played over 200 courses around the country and this is easily in my top 5 or so. Posted by Jim (Darien, IL).
1/30/2009 - Great course. Posted by Stephen (Oldsmar, FL).
1/12/2009 - Yes, this is one to try to play. It's fun and priced right. We will play it next year providing the prices stay reasonable. Posted by William (Lewis Center, OH).
12/22/2008 - We could not beat El Diablo, but we would like to try again and again. Posted by Thorkil (Erslev, Denmark).
12/4/2008 - The hidden gem of north central Florida. Not a better course for the price. Posted by George (Manistee, MI).
12/4/2008 - This is once again my favorite course to play and will always make the drive from Orlando when visiting to play. Tough and beautiful layout. I want to play one day in spring when all things are in bloom. Friends that have seen my photos and comments are that they could not carry enough golf balls. This course is a real test. Posted by Don (Houston, TX).
8/29/2008 - Nice course. Not too tough. Posted by William (Venice, FL).
6/13/2008 - One of the most beautiful courses we have ever played. Beautiful flower beds and a very well kept golf course. Posted by Edzard (Amsterdam, Netherlands).
6/5/2008 - This to me was the jewel of my trip. Worth the drive from Orlando and will definitely play this again. A beautiful and exciting course. The locals have really got it made with this hidden gem. Posted by Donald (Houston, TX).

3/24/2008 - Even with 40 mph winds this was a wonderful course to play. Great layout and well maintained. Well worth the 90 minute drive from Orlando. Posted by Edward (New Berlin, WI).
3/6/2008 - This is a beautiful setting for a golf course, well manicured, undulating fairways, plenty of challenge for all skill levels and deserving of its 4 1/2 star rating. The facilities (a trailer in a dirt parking lot) leave much to be desired; but if you can get past that, you will enjoy the golf!
2/8/2008 - We played here for the 4th time and we loved it again. It is such a bargain, if you come for the golf and not the facilities. It is the most natural course we know in the United States (except for World Woods), and playing conditions are excellent. We played 36 holes and, as we did not have frost delays as in last year's, it was easy to get around before dark. We will return! Posted by Kajo (Vyshuizen, Netherlands)
12/21/2007 - Awesome value! Much better shape than when I played here two years ago. No fancy clubhouse but a very nice golf course. Posted by David (Centreville, MD).
11/14/07 - This course is marvelous. Every hole is memorable. Excellent layout. Posted by John (Glen Ellyn, IL).
