Martin Downs Country Club - Osprey Creek Course

The greens are like lightning. The fairways need work all crab grass but mowed very low

It is sad to see what has happened to this course. A great layout but the worst conditions in the area by far. Ever since this owner who is a politician took over it has gone downhill. The only thing that makes sense is money laundering. This course is worth $10 a round at best.

First impression of the course was from a drive by while getting chipotle with my wife. Thought the course looked great from a distance. This course is what I’d call a cat fish. Looks great online, but you show up and she’s a wreck.

The fairways are over grown and loaded with weeds. Bunkers are either soaking wet, rock solid, or a mixture of the two. Greens are okay, but they could use a lot of work.

That’s the first and last time I’ll play there. Seems like that course only has a few more years before it goes completely under. I’ve seen this happen to many courses across South FL.

Fairways 0/10

Greens 6/10

Bunkers 0/10

Don’t waste your time or money. Go play the Florida club, the Saints PSL, or invest a little extra and play PGA or Astor Creek.

Why write a truthful review. Nothing will change there.

Martin Downs has a great layout

Tee boxes are good ,fairways are much improved (especially 13th),the greens are a work in progress ,the staff is friendly and helpful

All in All worth the $45 I paid to play

Greens - heavily aerated and sandy.

Fairways - ok, but some significant bald patches.

Tee boxes - pretty good.

Traps - heavily puddled, not enough sand, and what was there was wet and sometimes bald and hardpan - not good at all.

All-in-all, course was not in very good shape and there are better alternatives in the area.

Not all that bad greens were in great shape for this time of year after a very busy winter course has been the same condition for the past 10 years we’ll still play here. Good layout. Staff is very friendly.

Needs a total redo. Weeds everywhere tees are crap. To top it off their private course is crap. Never should be private. It's a shame cause I played junior golf here and it was top notch then. It's been a constant decline of the course and conditions. They are too invested in the club house and events they have there. Management has their head up their butts and cater to the members that dont care about golf.

The layout is challenging with both long and short holes. Some have traps while some have doglegs. Greens were in good shape even with the storms we have had in this area of late. Staff is exceeding friendly & accommodating. Club house is quite modern and appealing though I didn't eat there.
