Reunion Resort and Club

Kissimmee, Florida, US

Reunion® Resort is the only destination in the world to boast three Signature golf courses designed by legends Palmer, Nicklaus and Watson.

Combining the beauty of their natural landscaping with unique and challenging layouts, these courses have won numerous awards and followers over the years.

Innovatively routed on hilly, roller coaster-like terrain, Arnold Palmer’s 6,916 yard, par 72 Signature Course boasts dramatic elevation changes – up to 50 feet in some places – creating a unique variety of risk/reward shots.

That varied menu of shot-making opportunities is further ensured by six tee locations on each hole, a variety of natural preserve areas, generously wide fairways and strategically placed bunkers across all 18 holes.

Highlighted by fast, firm and wide rolling fairways, a variety of strategically placed bunkers and large greens, the 7,154 yard, par 72 Watson Course, a Signature Design by Tom Watson, is as much about strategy as it is about length.

Demanding a well thought out approach from every player regardless of skill level, this course puts a premium on a solid short game with spacious green complexes where club selection can vary from putter to lob wedge to three-wood.

This Parkland-style layout is smooth and flowing, with long horizon lines and elevated tee boxes and greens. Yet The Nicklaus Course, a Signature Design by Jack Nicklaus, can be as deceptive as it is beautiful.

Designed to tempt golfers into hitting risky shots with potentially big payoffs, the course challenges the golfer to step up to the ball with a carefully organized series of shots in mind.

About Jack Nicklaus

No name is more synonymous with greatness in the sport of golf than Jack Nicklaus, and no single person has changed the face of the sport more than he - the player, the designer, and the goodwill ambassador. With a total of 20 major titles (including two U.S. Amateur victories), Nicklaus is the only golfer ever to win each of the four professional major titles - U.S. Open, Open Championship (or British Open), Masters, and PGA Championship - at least three times each. The Golden Bear, as he’s known throughout the golf world, brought his unique perspective and design acumen to Reunion® and has built a course destined to become a classic.

The huge, relatively stylish suites with marble-tiled bathrooms, balconies, and full kitchens are among the best condo units in Orlando.

The living room of a One Bedroom Villa

Offering much more than a typical hotel room, the guest rooms range from one-bedroom condo-style units -- like the cheapest room category, the One-Bedroom Villa -- to private, eight-bedroom homes. Like most Central Florida resorts, the rooms have a tasteful-if-muted color palate, and while the details of decor in each unit may vary, all are more stylish, modern, and impressive than you'll find at other nearby resorts, like the cheaper Mystic Dunes or the often more expensive Boardwalk Villas.

 

Please note, however, that exactly where you stay within the resort is important: Because of the size of the property, trips from your room to the water park, the spa, or the golf course may necessitate using one of the free resort shuttles (they run 24 hours a day). The most convenient rooms are those in the central resort building, Reunion Grande, where the front desk, concierge, golf clubhouse, and most of the restaurants are located. Other units are farther afield, though all are near something -- the Seven Eagles section of Reunion, for example, is just a two-minute walk from the Seven Eagles pool, the fitness center, and The Cove bar and restaurant. If you find a particular amenity important, it's worth requesting a room nearby.

About Resort

 

Reunion Resort and Club

7593 Gathering Dr, Kissimmee, FL 34747, United States

A sprawling, meticulously groomed mini-city of a resort with 411 condo-style time-share guest rooms, the Reunion Resort is many things to many people. While it is indeed a terrific place for groups -- the Atlanta Braves and Detroit Tigers baseball teams both stay here during spring training -- it's also a popular venue for weddings and it can host big families thanks to ample space in the rooms, which start at 754 square feet. A bevy of varied and high-quality DINING OPTIONS, a spa, 54 holes of GOLF, TENNIS, kids' activities, and multiple POOLS (including the most elaborate water park south of Orlando) all work to keep guests on the property -- even if the Disney theme parks are just 15 minutes away by car.

While many of Reunion's FEATURES are also on offer at other nearby Orlando resorts like MYSTIC DUNES and the OMNI CHAMPIONS GATE, the experience here is far more luxurious (and often more expensive). The most basic guest room, a massive, 754-square-foot ONE-BEDROOM VILLA, is comparatively stylish for Central Florida, with high-quality materials, private balconies, and understated golf-themed accents like throw pillows. Even bigger units, including full-size homes with thousands of square feet of space and as many as eight bedrooms, are also scattered around the property. An experienced front desk, concierge, dining, and housekeeping staff get to know repeat guests by name and treat first-timers just as well. Plus, as a cashless and "tipless" resort (all gratuities are added automatically to you final bill), you don't have to grease palms in order to get special attention.

In 2011, the Reunion Resort came under Salamander Hotels and Resorts and, together with the Innisbrook Resort in Tampa and Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, formed the Grand Golf Resorts of Florida. While no changes to the property itself occurred, the union of the three resorts promises specials for golfers looking to experience the some of Florida's best courses during one vacation.
