The Country Club of Orlando rivals Palm Beach --- Mickey who???
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/19/04
This ultra exclusive private club rivals the Palm Beach Bath and Tennis Club in its style and refined, subtle elegance. The members are mostly old money and low key--most very wealthy and established, but they're NOT flashy. Founded in 1911, this historic club is STILL by far the best in Orlando (and one of the tops in the State)--and the hardest to get in to. It's the
anti-Isleworth (the local nouveau riche, throw-around-hundred-dollar-bills club)
The golf course was designed by Donald Ross, near the turn of the last century. (Donald Ross also designed the golf course at the Breaker's Hotel in Palm Beach.)
The facilities are top rate: the pool, workout room, and tennis courts. The service throughout the club is very attentive and first class.
I have played the golf course many times. If you can get a member to take you, you should go. You won't be disappointed.
