An upscale development course developed in 1987 by architect Ron Garl, the course is well regarded in Orlando, and Florida and is traditionally ranked among the Top 20 courses in Florida. The front side has a bit of rolling terrain, unique to Florida, and the back more traditional Florida golf, winding through wetlands and lakes. A few of the holes on the front side resemble Scottish links style with the fairway mounding, and the ability to run the ball to the green. #2, one of the most difficult par 4's you will ever play. You need to thread a drive to an island fairway, then a 150-180 yard shot over water to a well guarded green. Usually in good shape, one of the better lower priced upscale courses in the Orlando area.

Played in a scramble yesterday so the pace of play was not good. The golf course, especially the greens was in excellent shape. With a few exceptions and brown spots the greens have come back nicely with the long cold winter. With the current heat and rain, they should be totally fine by the end of May. Timacuan's a good solid course with a lot of variety. The housing development it's routed through doesn't really affect play, most of the, well except for one yesterday, are well off the golf course.

Course was in great shape today, greens running fast and true. Pace of play was good, just over 4 hours, and saw the cart girl twice. Couldn't get by #2 without a double, but that was the only double on the card today. Excellent value after 12 noon at $45.

We played here the last golf day, and fortunately it worked out to take the camera. It was supposed to rain, although the rain held off until we were done, although we did have overcast skys. This course is about 40 minutes north of the main attractions of Orlando, and in being so may be one of the better kept secrets for golf in Orlando. We found out about this through the Superintendent at our course. It is cheaper in comparison to some of the sticker shock that you see in Orlando through our visits, and by playing during the week, it seemed almost as though we had the course to ourselves as a twosome. With exception to a couple singles we let play through. The course is in fantastic shape, and one of the very common traits is the amount of sand on the course as well as the amount of native waterfowl (I assume) to the area on almost every hole it seemed. It also struck me as having a few more hills than what I would expect from Orlando. The greens simply struck my wife and I as some of the truest rolling greens we have ever played on. Not sure if it is because we were used to off season up here, or holding them in comparison to Hawks Landing, but the greens were simply gorgeous. The course is not as stunning in scenery as Hawks Landing but is still naturally stunning in its own way. It has it's own character in relation to its surroundings. From what I understand, I believe it also has a few professional members. We haven't played much golf in Orlando, and our last time out we played a course called Debary. Which I believe used to be or still is a Q-school course. It too was a cheaper in cost as well, although I think for a similar price and if you are looking for a place outside the Orlando area, this is a good option and one I would take over Debary. Actually, I would likely play here as opposed to Grande Pines, although it is about 40 minutes away from where we stayed, and is also located within a fairly nice development.
