Featured Golf and Travel: Orlando
The Disney Magnolia golf course is owned and operated by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts segment of The Walt Disney Company, it is located southwest of Orlando, Florida. The property is often abbreviated Walt Disney World, Disney World or WDW. The four 18-hole golf courses are the Magnolia, the Palm, Lake Buena Vista and Osprey Ridge. There is also a nine-hole walking course called Oak Trail, designed for younggolfers. The Children's Miracle Network Classic is an annual golf tournament on the PGA Tour. The tournament is played on the Palm and Magnolia courses at the Walt Disney World Resort. Starting in 2007, it was the final event in the PGA Tour Fall Series, and also the final official event of the PGA Tour season. The event was first played in 1971 then known as the Walt Disney World Invitational. The tournament is one of the players' favorites because of its location in Orlando, Florida; many players maintain homes in Florida, and whether or not they live in Florida, they can easily take their families to the parks while not playing. For some players, it is a final chance to earn or retain a Tour Card. (Article sourced here from Wikipedia.com) (Click Here to see our Slide Show)

Orange County National
The Orange County National's Crooked Cat and Panther Lake Golf Courses are two exciting 18 hole regulation courses located in the greater Orlando Florida metro region and have hosted the finals of the PGA Tour's annual Qualifying tournament known as 'Q' School a number of times.
Panther Lake
is laid out over rolling meadows, through native pines, around and over wetlands and lakes, and up and down elevation changes of up to 60 feet. Crooked Cat features significant elevation changes, rolling fairways and large, contoured greens. But with fewer trees, wider landing areas, native heather and mounding framing the fairways, Crooked Cat presents golfers more of a links-style look. It may well be the most naturally beautiful Orlando Florida golf course.
