Frequently Asked Questions
If you decide to have a vacation at the Reunion Resort & Golf Club, you'll be amazed at what this destination has to offer. Although the resort was built in 2004, it rapidly became one of the most luxurious and sought-after in Orlando. In addition to the three superb golf courses you can play at the Reunion Resort & Golf Club, there are many engaging amenities you and your friends or family can enjoy. This is a short presentation of the golf courses that will test your skill at the resort:
- Arnold Palmer: This golf course offers 6,916 yards of exciting play with up to 50 feet of elevation changes. Previously known as the Legacy course, it features soft undulations and is heavily bunkered. The back nine features some memorable holes, especially as you get closer to the end of your round, where the dramatic 18th awaits. Palmer’s course is as close to a resort-style course as Reunion offers, but it is very challenging. Five sets of tee markers ensure that players of various skill levels can find a manageable distance between 4,795 yards and 6,916 yards.
- Tom Watson: Featuring wide-open greens, rolling fairways, and strategically-placed bunkers, this golf course requires a well-calculated game. This is perhaps the most distinct course at the resort. The layout measures 7,154 yards from the back tees, but the golf course is more about strategy than length. Watson’s course has a parkland layout with a windswept appearance, framed by a wide variety of native grasses, azaleas, hibiscus, and other plants. The presence of elevated greens means golfers will need to fly their shots to the putting surfaces.
- Jack Nicklaus: The golf course architect has never been known to take it easy on players when designing courses. He notoriously has very difficult tracks, as they are narrow and long, and the greens have significant undulation. A signature of Nicklaus’ courses is a tame open hole – he lets you ease into the game. The first hole is a straightforward, shorter par 4. After that, you should expect the rest of the course to be more challenging. Compared to the other two at the resort, you’ll notice the narrower fairways, long yardage, and trickier greens.
In between rounds or at the end of the day, you can relish a delicious meal at one of the seven Reunion Resort & Golf Club restaurants. At Chophouse, fresh seafood and steaks are cooked daily, and the enhancements are made with fresh vegetables and bold spices, while at Eleven, you can dine in elegant style on the rooftop and enjoy a variety of small plates and craft cocktails. Furthermore, the resort has numerous amenities you can engage in besides playing golf, such as tennis courts, pickleball, bike rentals, swimming, bocce ball, and miniature golf.
