Shingle Creek Golf Club
Overview
Located in central Orlando, Florida, where the Florida Everglades begin, Shingle Creek Golf Club is a public golf course designed by the Arnold Palmer Design Company. This championship course combines natural beauty with strategic design and is close to popular spots.
Whether you are an experienced golfer or a casual player, the club delivers quality, consistency, and service that elevate every round.
Shingle Creek Golf Club Layout
The 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches over 7,213 yards from the back tees. It has smooth fairways with interconnecting waterways and green scenery. Golfers will find a mix of straight and dogleg holes, along with some short par-4s and longer par-3s, par-4s, and par-5s. The course uses Florida’s natural features like cypress trees, wetlands, and canals, offering a relaxing setting and rewarding careful shots.
Course Challenges
Shingle Creek Golf Club has a variety of challenges that test precision and decision-making. Sloped greens, multi-tiered putting surfaces, and strategic bunkers—such as pot, pit, and beach varieties—demand accurate approaches and recoveries.
Multiple water hazards and elevation changes, including ridges and split-level fairways, add complexity. For example, taking a direct route on some par-5s can pay off, but errors can make it hard to recover. These features make the course one of the hardest in Orlando, perfect for golfers looking to improve their skills.
Signature Holes at Shingle Creek Golf Club
Among the standout features are several signature holes that define the course’s character. The 17th hole, “Tobias’ Fire,” is a tough 220-yard par-3 with water lining the right side and an elevated green rising five feet from front to back. This requires a precise tee shot amid bunkers.
Hole 9, “Zach’s Revenge,” challenges as the longest par-4 at over 500 yards, with a large raised green guarded by a bunker and native shell areas. Additionally, Hole 14, “Roulette,” is a drivable 325-yard par-4 where water along the left and a front pot bunker add excitement and challenge. These holes show how the course mixes beauty with difficulty
