Waited on every hole

The course was beautiful but it was very frustrating to have to wait on every hole. No marshalls to be found after 2pm. Not sure if that's normal or maybe because it was a sunday. Some holes had 2 groups waiting.

Magnificent course

This is a hidden gem. 27 of the best manicured and maintained holes of golf that is open to the public in Florida that I have come across in a long time.

From the course, to the practice facilities to the friendly and helpful staff, everything was A+. For this time of year, the price was very competitive.

If I lived closer, I would play this course on a regular basis.

Great layout but condition has been poor in 2023

I've played here for years. I have seen it in great shape in previous years but in 2023, it has not been good. Greens have been terribly slow, bumpy and some with no grass. The greens not only vary in difference from 9 to 9 but from hole to hole. The fairways are hit and miss with some good grass and others with no grass. Every time we play we have to play using lift, clean and place because it can be saturated from over watering. I will continue to play at Heron because of proximity but I really hope they get their act together with the condition of this once fine course.

I have read some of the ratings people have left and it makes wonder if some people even know what a nicely conditioned course is.

The employees are nice as well as the cart girls.

This is my honest assessment as of this day in October 2023. All my friends feel the same as I do.
