ORLANDO -- Osprey Ridge Golf Course, a Tom Fazio design that Golf Digest has recognized as one of the top layouts in Florida, is this week's featured course at OrlandoGolf.com, the leading site for anyone planning to play golf in Orlando.
Rated 4 1/2 stars out of 5, the Osprey Ridge course at Walt Disney World® Resort is an extra-long links style golf course that features dramatically elevated greens and tees, nine water holes and more than 70 bunkers placed strategically throughout the course. The dramatic fairways cut through forests of scrub oak, pine, palmetto, cypress and bay trees.
Measuring 7,110 yards from the back tees, it plays to a course rating of 73.9 and a slope rating of 135.
In a recent review of Disney's Osprey Ridge, Erik Peterson wrote that though the course sits "barely a mile from the thundering roller coasters at Disney's Magic Kingdom, you'd never know it."
"More animal species call Osprey Ridge Golf Course home than any of the other Disney golf courses, and it's known for being one of the most tranquil locales in all of the Walt Disney World® Resort.
"But don't forget you're playing a Fazio-designed course, so if you become too enamored by your peaceful surroundings, your score will add up quickly."
