Great course for the money

The staff was extremely friendly. The course has a really interesting layout. It's a very fair course. The greens were tough because they're all crowned and the pin placement that day was on swells on almost every hole and the speeds were not consistent from hole to hole, but overall it was really fun. I'd definitely play it again.

Wish rain had held off !!!

Got a CRAZY GOOD hot rate on GolfNow for my foursome. Arrived early to get warmed up and glad we did. Great staff interactions and got on course right on schedule. Course had a number of moderately challenging holes but it was the LONG par 5s (into the wind) that really pushed skill limits.

Got rained out of back nine but staff once again came through with rain checks for each player...THANKS!!

Nice course

The course was in great shape and had just enough challenges to where you have to hit good shots to score well, but it's not "unfair" to the average golfer. I would definitley play it again.

Interesting layout; not well-maintained.

Layout is good but conditioning poor and cart paths also need maintenance.

blind shots

Few straight away holes. Shot makers course. Course knowledge a plus. Lucky I played with a couple of regulars as being on wrong side of fairway leads to no second shot. Greens were fast and true with lots of undulation.

Enjoyed the course. It was in good shape - there's water and sand guarding many greens. The greens were true but slow.

Good Solid Course

we rated the West course higher with an A and gave the East an A- minus; the East layout is good and solid with some memorable holes; greens were of decent speed and condition.

Friendly People

Course was cart path only from the storm the previous day. Greens are still in great shape for being the end of February!! West greens are nicer than the east, but I love the easy flowing layout of both courses. Our foursome played in under 4 hours on both courses. The favorite courses of the group for our trip from Michigan. We saw 4 gators on the course.
