A 337 yard, par 4 – trees left and right, just hit one straight, and life is good – done, 100-yard approach shot, two putts, and let’s go, wasn’t so bad. Hole 2 – Par 4, 392 yards, keep it on the right-hand side (water on the left), 140 pitching wedge, two-putt – done.

What to do for your birthday?
It’s not often we have to ask if we can come and play a golf course. Unbeknown to me, my lovely wife asked Rob – the man we all answer to at Golf Aficionado – if he could sort out something special for my birthday. His solution was ‘Tranquilo’ – its official and very long name is Tranquilo Golf Course at Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club Orlando.
Mr. Tom Fazio
I just like the flow that Fazio brings to things – with over 200 courses under his belt, there’s a good chance you’ve played more than a few of his designs, and more than a few are likely on your bucket list.
Outstanding Practice Facilites
Before we get to the course, the practice area is worthy of note – it’s also had a make-over, $2.5m worth.
Course Highlights
Hole 1 – why do I know I’m being played? A 337 yard, par 4 – trees left and right, just hit one straight, and life is good – done, 100-yard approach shot, two putts, and let’s go, wasn’t so bad.
The Final Score
I ended up shooting 80, I felt like it could have been 76, but then I only remembered the holes I messed up and not the holes where I got lucky and scrambled a bit. All in all, I’d say it was a fair score.

Where to spend golf money at Disney World?
Walt Disney World and its resorts have proven themselves adept at gathering funds from tourists the world over, so some may feel inclined to spend their golf funds elsewhere while on a family vacation. The Tranquilo Golf Club located at the Four Seasons Resort near Lake Buena Vista is one of the better options for doing so.
