ORLANDO, Fla. - You reach Hawk\'s Landing Golf Club by foot -- as soon as you step out of earshot of the oh-so-soothing resort music playing from the lobby loudspeakers of the majestically-named Orlando World Center Marriott Resort.
No long rides in Interstate-4 traffic. No shuttle buses. You walk out of the lobby, take a right and there\'s the golf course. Your three-putts can begin.
The resort makes a big deal out of the golf course\'s close proximity, and it is indeed quite a convenience if you\'re staying at the Marriott.
The course takes up 220 acres of resort property and plays around the resort grounds and not through them, so that a great deal of the time - excepting the handful of holes close to ear-splitting I-4, you\'re in a little, green oasis, with queen palms, sand pines and magnolias lining the fairways and grounds.
Not to mention the flowering azaleas and jasmine that could be in Better Homes and Gardens. All this nature is tied up in a well-groomed package befitting a well-heeled resort.
\"I played a tournament recently at an exclusive country club,\" said Mike Belew of San Francisco, playing with partner Travis Watts. \"It was groomed beautifully, like this, but it wasn\'t nearly as scenic as this course.\"
Belew agreed: \"It\'s not overly challenging, but the views are nice and the maintenance is awesome.\"
Hawk\'s Landing is a Robert Cupp III design, and it is very nearly a perfect Orlando resort golf course, combining immaculate conditioning with a very friendly layout. Have a Mai-Tai for lunch, hack away in the afternoon.
It\'s only 6,600 yards from the back tees so that even mid-handicappers can boldly step back and not take a drubbing. Oddly, the intermediate tees drop drastically to 6,165 yards.
The fairways are wide and inviting with gentle mounding and there is very little rough to speak of. Many of the tree-lined fairways have pine straw to hit out of, so that you\'ll nearly always have a shot at the green.
