Convention-centre golf that Palmer’s firm rebuilt.
Shingle Creek Golf Club sits behind the Rosen Shingle Creek hotel on Universal Boulevard, close to the Orange County Convention Center and International Drive. It is a public course with resort trimmings: every tee time includes a GPS cart, range balls and valet parking. David Harman laid out the original course, which opened in 2003, and Arnold Palmer Design Company rebuilt it in 2016 with new greens and several new holes. For a golfer in Orlando for a conference or for Universal, it is the closest serious 18 to the hotel strip.

The round, in perspective.
The rebuilt course is par 72 and 7,213 yards from the back, and GolfPass reported that the 2016 work produced 18 new TifEagle greens with significant contour, rebuilt bunkers and new 12th, 13th and 14th holes. The club names every hole. The 4th, A Hole Remembered, has a crowned green that is hard to hold. The 7th, Four Corners, is a 244-yard par three with a diagonal ridge, and the 8th, Handshake, is a 610-yard par five made from two old holes, with a lake in play. The 9th, Zach’s Revenge, is a 505-yard par four with a crushed-shell native area guarding the shortest line. Water comes into play on the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 8th, 14th, 15th and 17th, a canal runs beside the 13th, and the 18th has a ridge splitting its fairway into two levels. A stand of cypress lines the lake on the 3rd.

Make the trip work.
Because valet and range balls are included, arrive 45 minutes early and use the practice ground rather than paying for it elsewhere. The afternoon rate drops by about a fifth, which suits convention visitors with morning sessions. Expect the long par-four 9th and the 610-yard 8th to decide your front nine. The club’s academy offers lessons, and a 14,400 sq ft events pavilion handles corporate groups, so ask about group shotgun starts if you are organising golf around a conference.
The club is at 9939 Universal Boulevard. Orlando International (MCO) is about 12 miles east, roughly 15 to 20 minutes by road. International Drive and the convention centre are a few minutes north, and Universal Orlando is about 15 minutes away. Drive if you can, since valet parking is included in every rate.
Rosen Shingle Creek is the obvious base: the hotel sits next to the course, and GolfPass reported stay-and-play packages with two rounds and a night’s stay when the course reopened. Golfers attending events at the Orange County Convention Center often stay in the Rosen hotels and other towers along International Drive and Universal Boulevard. For a quieter base, Dr Phillips and its restaurant row on Sand Lake Road are about ten minutes north.
Make a trip of it.
Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill, open to guests of its own lodge, is about 15 minutes north-west, and makes a natural Palmer pairing. Orange County National’s public courses are about 25 minutes west, and the Waldorf Astoria course at Bonnet Creek is about 15 minutes south-west. Away from golf, Universal Orlando and the attractions along International Drive are close by.
Find your season.
Shingle Creek is open year round. Rates peak in the dry winter and spring, while late spring and summer bring heat and almost daily afternoon storms. Twilight start times shift with sunset through the year, so check the booking page before planning a late round.
Do you have to stay at Rosen Shingle Creek to play the golf course?
No. Shingle Creek Golf Club is open to the public, and anyone can book online or by phone up to 90 days ahead. Hotel guests get a lower shoe-rental price and access to stay-and-play packages.
How much does Shingle Creek Golf Club cost?
In mid-November 2026 the club’s booking page listed US$140 for morning times and US$110 in the afternoon, plus 6.5% tax. Each rate includes a GPS cart, range balls and valet parking.
Who designed Shingle Creek Golf Club?
David Harman designed the original course, which opened in 2003. Arnold Palmer Design Company rebuilt it in 2016, adding 18 new greens and several new holes; it reopened that December.
Can I rent clubs at Shingle Creek?
Yes. A full set costs US$70 plus tax, and the club says there is no need to reserve in advance. Shoes can also be rented, at US$15 for hotel guests and US$20 for others, plus tax.
