Falcons Fire Golf Club is, arguably, one of the finest golf courses in the Orlando area; it’s certainly one of the most enjoyable. It’s also one of Orlando’s most women-friendly golf courses. A Rees Jones Signature Designed championship golf course, Falcons Fire Golf Club makes a perfect Florida golf vacation destination conveniently located just steps from the Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando’s International Airport and the Orlando Convention Center.
Falcons Fire’s 18-hole golf course plays 6,900 yards from the longest tees for a par of 72, a course rating is 72.5 and a slope rating of 125 on Bermuda grass. Designed by the inimitable Rees Jones, this signature layout features “classic architecture,” and is an exquisitely maintained course where you can play the year round. Four sets of tees make f or a challenging yet player-friendly course for golfers of all levels of skill.
The greens are large, quite flat and though they may not always be easy to read, they do run true. The approaches to the greens are, for the most-part, open and inviting. The fairways are wide, the landing areas more than generous. Many of the fairways are bounded by links-style dunes that, even though they will often keep a wayward ball in play, can make for some difficult lies. The toughest hole on the course is the 5th, a long par-4 with a nasty forced carry over a marsh that’s both intimidating and visually appealing.
Complimentary valet parking, club cleaning and golf carts equipped with GPS navigation are just some of the little extras that make THE difference.
Falcon’s Fire Golf Club has received a Four Star Award from Golf Digest, and is listed as one of “Florida’s 50 Finest Golf Courses” by Golf & Travel. It’s also listed as one of “America’s Top 15 Women Friendly Courses” by Golf for Women.
Greens Fees range from $75 to $150 depending on the time, day and season.[/[]
