The Resort

Escape to Orlando and the luxury Ritz-Carlton Resort at Grande Lakes, located just south of the city, close to the international airport and the theme park attractions. The Ritz-Carlton Orlando has an enviable reputation for providing accommodation, amenities and service of an impeccable standard, and represents a fine opportunity to escape in style to Florida’s golfing capital.

Expect superb spa and leisure facilities, plus a mouth-watering landscape of internationally inspired restaurants, not to mention the chance to tackle the resort course, with signature design courtesy of Greg Norman. Relax around the pool in your private, serviced cabana and take time to unwind in the sophisticated, Italian palazzo inspired Orlando golf resort.

Golf

Known for its challenging nature and the outstanding level of conditioning, The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando boasts a terrific championship course mapped out by Greg Norman, former world-ranked number one and double Open Champion. The Great White Shark has succeeded in crafting a subtle test, one which makes use of the natural terrain, and supplemented by intelligent bunkering both greenside and around driving distance.

Your Ritz-Carlton golf experience will be smoothed and aided by the club’s unique Caddie Concierge concept, which will provide your group with a dedicated golf guide for the day. Among other benefits, your caddie will provide course tips and yardages, spot balls from the tee, repair pitchmarks, rake bunkers and aid with food and beverage requests.

Rooms

The Ritz-Carlton brand is among the most sought-after and respected worldwide, and hallmarks including elegance and outstanding service are very much in evidence at the luxury Orlando resort, Grande Lakes. Choose from a total of 582 rooms and suites, and for additional privacy and service opt for Club Level, which affords access to a private lounge, concierge service plus continuous snack and beverage service throughout the day.
