Uphill battle

This course has some big hills to climb so be ready to add a club or two, to reach the elevated greens. The fairways and greens were in really good shape so you'll be sure to enjoy your round.

Up and down

This is a very good course in great condition. The front side has large elevation changes and the back a little less. The greens are in superb condition. Give this course a shot, ya can't loose.

Course is in very good condition. Traps are rough but they are hazards. Stay out. Greens and fairways are great. Course is very challenging.

Course in great shape

I have played this course many times when in Florida. This was best shape I have seen it. Just the traps and tees are okay but not great. fairways and greens were very good. Course was wet so played long. This is great value and I love the layout. While it goes through a residential neighbourhood the houses are set well back and the large trees make it feel private. I will be back.

Nice Course for the rate we paid…

Tees, Fairways, and greens were all nicely irrigated and excellent to play. Saw 2 other golfers two holes ahead on the 5th hole, and only for a few moments…. Other than those 2, my wife and I had the course to ourselves! Played 18 in less than 3 hrs.

In Good Shape

The course was in good shape all around (greens, fairways and bunkers). Fairways nice and green from the overseeding.
