Royal St. Cloud, St. Cloud, FL

This course is one of our favorites in the Orlando area. It's a links style course but with lots of variety in the holes and many bunkers, ridges, and stone walls. There are 3 nine hole courses, Red, White and Blue. We were told Red is kind of tight so we choose to play the other two courses every time we go. 
We have been there 3 or 5 time and have not seen a cart person yet. We paid $40/person which is very reasonable for a Florida course and unlike a lot of Florida courses, the bathrooms are not locked.
There are trash cans and ball cleaners every hole which is nice. We've not eaten there so I can't comment on the food. They have British phone booths where you can order at the turn food. It is a well maintained, scenic course that we enjoyed playing very much.

Pebble Creek Golf Club, Tampa, FL

We enjoyed this course, even though it was very cold for a Florida day. It is an older course with a lot more trees than most Florida courses. There was a lot of water on this course. In fact, they brag that 16 holes have water on them. The course was in decent condition but the rough was a little too long for me. We saw a lot of birds on this course so I liked that. It was reasonably priced for a Florida course so I'd like to try golfing here on a warmer day.

MetroWest, Orlando, FL

This course is a newer (1987) Robert Trent Jones course located about 10 minutes away from Universal Studios. It's a little longer course for women than most Florida courses. There's lots of sand on the first nine and water on the back nine. The back nine was "prettier" than the first nine. Because this is a fairly reasonably priced course ($38 from golfnow.com) it was pretty crowded. There were bathrooms and a code was needed to get in. The cart girl was around quite often but beer was $5 a bottle! It was in good condition especially considering all the rain but there were certainly some flooded areas that had to be avoided. We didn't eat here but the clubhouse looked very nice. We did try to go back there the following January when we were there but couldn't get a tee time! Like I said, when you get a reasonably priced in course in Florida, it's always crowded!

Golf Club of South Georgia, Tifton, GA

I thought this was a new course because there was a temporary clubhouse, looked like one was being built. There was no beer and not a good bathroom. The paths were terrible, really broken up.  But on reading the website, the course was built in 1992 so I'm not sure what's going on.  The webpage is old but they do have a facebookpage with more recent info on it. https://www.facebook.com/TheGolfClubOfSouthGeorgia/

From the facebook page, I've gathered that there are new owners. The tee boxes were really nice and there was an island par 3, as well as some other really nice holes. It was $30/person and no one else was there, which is always nice for us. Of ocurse, it was January in Georgia so maybe it was too cold for most people.

The fairways were in good condition and the greens were OK. There are some really good reviews on the facebook page so I'm sure if we're in the area, we'll try it again.
