This course has a great layout, the problem is their not making money, and can't afford to do the minimum to maintain this course. The fairways are terrible, they don't even look like fairways.

I don't know how these guys stay in business, and that's the problem, they need money to make money.

I don't know how they ever got a 4 star rating, it not even close. To bad, this course could be really good if someone put some money into it.

country course

nice course that does not have many obstacles. Play was a bit slow but the foursomes let us play through and then it was a nice pace. fairway grass was long so not much of a roll this time. Greens are still in good shape for the middle of summer.

Great layout and value.

Good help is hard to find. Heard from locals that this used to be the premier course in town. Bunkers have fallen a bit to the wayside, but who really cares? The greens were in good shape and the layout was fun. 1st time there so it was a little challenging on the blind drives and unfamiliarity with the greens. However, that is why I enjoy playing new courses. Staff and members were friendly and I would still recommend playing regardless of the sand!

Great Slope

After reading previous reviews, I was concerned with the sand traps. While most are not worthy of being called a sand trap, they were still playable. Overall, the course was challenging. Greens were in great shape. Tee boxes good too. Most impressed with the layout of the course and the slope, especially here in flat Florida. Many of the holes were either uphill or downhill. Would have loved to play this course back in the day when it was in great shape and hosting tournaments. Staff was friendly and working hard to get course in better condition. Would definitely play again.

Good condition

Even though we have been in a drought this course has managed to keep itself in good condition. You could land a shot on the green and have it stick like normal golf. Play moved right along and was closely monitored. Much better than the other 10 courses I tried this month. I give it a thumbs up.

Great Day of Golf

Close to home, really nice layout not too difficult. Course needs some love and care, fairways were good as was the greens, but edges were shaggy, bunkers were awful almost no sand, lots weeds, edges washed, sad to see. If you never get in a bunker, not bad we enjoyed the course and will play again.

Better than the GN reviews portrayed

It was an enjoyable round. The bunkers were the biggest negative with grass, weeds growing up the face but the floor of the bunkers we a combo of sand and dirt. The fairways were fair as were the tee boxes and the rough had been mowed. The greens on the back nine were good while the front nine needed some work. The golf cars were in excellent condition.
