ORLANDO, Fla. -- Listed among the "Top 40 Best New Golf Courses in the U.S." by Golfweek upon opening in 2005, Shingle Creek Golf Club is conveniently located within a 15-minute drive of Orlando International Airport, the Orange County Convention Center, Sea World, Disney and Universal Studios.
The golf course features undulating fairways and interconnecting waterways bordered by the natural backdrop of dense oaks and pines along historic Shingle Creek. The design objective was to make the course play fair while keeping it an exceptional test of golf. With its tight fairways, ever present wind, strategic bunkers, rolling greens and, of course, water, it will test players of all skill levels.
Shingle Creek Golf Club is home to The Brad Brewer Golf Academy, which offers player-development services for all levels of golfer. Brewer, who founded the academy and owns it, said he aims to help heighten golfers' awareness of fundamental changes and create a visual picture of their play. "Our private learning center and studio bays provide online video software for motion analysis, high-speed cameras and launch-monitor technology," he said.
The hotel on property, the Rosen Shingle Creek, ranks as a great resort with first-class amenities. Best of all, it's central to nearly every business and tourist destination in the Orlando area.
