The Country Club of Orlando

There is some uncertainty whether this course was designed by Donald Ross as for years it was believed to be. At some point, however, accurate attribution takes a back seat to whether or not the design is of the first rank. In this case it is. The Country Club of Orlando's routing maximizes every available inch and manages to create distinctive looks and strategies despite a number of holes moving back and forth in the same direction. No matter who first designed it, credit for elevating it into the top percentile of a state with over 2,000 courses belongs to architect Ron Forse who reworked the holes in 2017.
