If you are flying into Orlando, Florida for an Orlando golf vacation or business trip and want to play golf at a golf course close to the airport, consider Eagle Creek, Kissimmee Bay or Remington. These three facilities are perfect for day-of-arrival and day-of-departure rounds thanks to their great locations just minutes from Orlando International Airport.
Eagle Creek, designed by well-known golf course architects Ron Garl and Howard Swan, offers a decidedly European design with all the amenities you would expect at a top-notch American golf facility. The greens are exceptionally fast and vibrant. Eagle Creek is a designated Audubon Silver Signature Course with lush landscaping and challenging play that features over 90 white sand bunkers reminiscent of those found in Scotland and England, with extensive bulkheads embracing water hazards and over 1,500 trees lining its breathtaking fairways.

The 20,000 square foot, Vintage New England Style Manor clubhouse with two levels includes a fully-stocked pro shop, 120 seat restaurant with private banquet facilities, plus locker rooms with showers for men and women. Only minutes from Orlando International Airport, Eagle Creek is a top choice for anyone looking to play golf either just before departing from, or just after arrival at the airport. Two other golf courses to consider near the airport are Kissimmee Bay and Remington, which are also just minutes from the airport. The two courses are across the street from one another, and are owned and operated by a Florida family that has long been a staple in the Orlando golf scene. You will notice the pride of ownership at both facilities where the staff is friendly, the standards of maintenance are high and the greens are fast and true.
Remington is wider and more forgiving off the tee, while Kissimmee Bay has smaller greens and is the more scenic of the two courses. Kissimmee Bay Signature Hole Number 16 offers a beautiful view of Lake Toho from the tee box. The entire community has only 250 homes so there is plenty of opportunity to view beautiful, natural Florida scenery.
There is nothing better than stepping off an airplane after leaving cold weather somewhere else, and stepping into the dream of an Orlando golf vacation. If you travel to Orlando specifically for golf, try to arrange your flights to take advantage of these great golf courses near the airport. Even if you travel for business, you will be glad you arrived early enough, or departed late enough, to play Eagle Creek, Kissimmee Bay and Remington.
