For many serious golfers, a good pace of play is paramount to an enjoyable golf experience. If you agree and are headed to Orlando this winter, Shingle Creek Golf Club is your 'must play' golf course.

'We feel that a good pace of play is an important component of customer service,' said Director of Golf Dave Scott. 'Not only do we have amenities such as complimentary valet parking and an interactive gps yardage system, we also focus on ensuring that all guests play in a reasonable amount of time. We hang our hat on maintaining tournament course conditions on a daily basis in addition to guest service levels second to none.'

Conveniently located in the heart of Orlando, yet nestled within 230 acres of lush, green Florida flora, Shingle Creek is a breathtaking, highly ranked, par 72, 7,149 yard Championship layout where you can experience both, natural beauty and the joy of the game. Play at Shingle Creek is available for tee time only reservations, all-inclusive stay-and-play packages, as well as Shingle Creek golf-around packages that also include play at other nearby golf courses.

'At Shingle Creek, it's all about the golf course. It's the design as well as the way we maintain the golf course. No matter how often or how rarely you play golf, you have a right to expect tournament conditions. Every time. Every day. And that's what we deliver at Shingle Creek,' said Dave Scott, Shingle Creek Director of Golf.

Shingle Creek was USGA's US Amateur Championship host site in August, 2011 and also hosted the Golfweek Eastcoast Jr. Invitational earlier this month.

Architect David Harman, who has constructed golf courses for such noted legends as Jack Nicklaus, Pete Dye, Tom Fazio and Arnold Palmer, has crafted a true golf masterpiece at Shingle Creek. This challenging yet playable design lies along historic Shingle Creek, and features interconnected waterways, undulating fairways and breathtaking 360 views.

Named by Golfweek as One of Americas Top 40 New Courses, and One of Central Florida's Top 10 Toughest Courses by Orlando Business Journal, this spectacular challenge offers five-diamond service standards. It is also the host course for the NGA Hooters Pro Golf Tour and a USGA Official Amateur Qualifying Site.
