Good layout

Ok, so I booked a tee time when I arrived I was told that I had paired up and was now going off straight away (not in the 20mins) I had still to go the tees,fairways and greens had all been scarified and were bad had a lot of rain the night b4 and only nine was open so told we were playing that twice, then we got to nine green to play the 1st again loads of people Queuing and was told we would have to go behind them they didn’t even stop the t times to allow for the morning t times to play first for there back nine total shambles, not even offered a rain check?!

But I must say it seemed to be a great layout, and the club should tell people that the tees,greens,fairways just been scarified maybe they don’t in case of lost revenue!!

Thanks..

dirty greens

Course in overall good shape. Greens recently punched, all good. However, greens needed to be blown off, just filthy with debris, affecting putts noticeably.

Best I’ve seen the course

The fairways and greens were in great shape. The tee boxes need work, but you tee it up most of the time. The new improvements have change some holes with more or bigger sand traps making a tight course even tighter. Track man Range is a nice perk and was included in our tee time price.

Great Experience

This course is the top value in Orlando at the moment. Staff was great, course was in excellent condition, track man range, and greens/fairways were in near perfect shape. Starter went over the recent changes to the course and scoring tips. Felt like a more top tier course.

I had a poor experience here in the past, and Tom (the GM) personally reached out and asked to give them another chance. Glad I did!

Really coming along

The course is really coming along and was in the best condition that I can remember. Fairways and greens are in good shape. The tee boxes weren’t the best, but who cares when you get to tee it up. The new bunkers tighten up an already tight course and the Trackman Range was nice. There was good food in the restaurant. My only complaint, was the annoying cart GPS notifications (beeping) while just driving down the fairway or on the cartpath. We’ll be back for sure.

A True Gem

Conditions weren't that great, however the track has a true layout. Front Nine is very generous, the back nine is brutal. I wasn't ready for #10. Not an Easy Course.

First timer

Played for the first time yesterday from the blue tees (HI 12.9). It’s a very nice course, with fair challenges. The white tees are obviously the most used as they were fairly worn, which made me glad of my choice. Whilst incredibly sandy, the greens were nice and receptive and rolled true, albeit they were a little patchy in places. The practice facilities are excellent, and my mini bucket of warmup balls were a welcome treat. The clubhouse is absolutely immaculate! My only wish was I could’ve enjoyed a beer there before I left!!

Overall, it’s a decent course and I feel that I got very good value for my 50 bucks!!!

No Greens is so Mean

I’m not sure what’s going on with the course, it’s clear that they have made quite a capital investment. However, the tee boxes were shaggy and the greens were non-existent. The fairways were better than usual and the addition of sand bunkers makes the course extremely challenging. Again, I don’t understand improving everything but the most important factor.
