Sad

If you are a better golfer than me, and you never miss a fairway, and stay out of sand traps, you might not mind that the you will lose every ball in the long rough, and need a mud wedge to get out of bunkers..

Fairways were a bit weedy and greens were fine.

fairways need work

The greens were in excellent shape but they need to put the same effort into the fairways and rough. The fairways looked as if they were mowed with dull mower blades it was like hitting into the rough if you were in the fairway and the rough wasnt mowed at all. it was over 18 inches in some spots. if you missed the fairway you either cant find your ball or you take forever looking for it

Maintenance was almost non-existent

The course could really be a nice experience but the conditions were terrible. Not sure if they are going to be shutting it down - but it sure seemed like it.

If you miss the fairway you will never find your ball. Lots of overgrown areas. I felt like I was golfing in a forest.

Pace of play was very bad. The rough grass was 6-8" long right off the fairway. Will not be playing this course again anytime soon.

Very disappointed

Disgusted

Do not waste your time here ! Course is in the worst condition that I’ve ever seen! Lots of goose grass through the fairways and the rough is deplorable. Lost balls does not make for a fun day. Clearly no equipment and lack of maintenance. Superintendent needs to get this place under control.

Deplorable

Total waste of money. The first and second cut has not been cut in forever. Played 4 holes and went home. If you own a golf course and cannot keep the grass cut, "sell the course"!

Need to buy lawnmowers

Probably a great course in it's hay day. Worst course we ever played since moving to Florida. It appears they don't have any lawn mowers. There really is no rough. If you are off the fairways you have lost your ball. The grass off the fairways was about 6-8 inches tall on the day we played. The further off the fairways the longer the grass. I get being punished for not hitting fairways however this was not even close to US Open conditions. When I say we were off the fairway, I'm not talking about a wild shot, but any shot that even rolls off the fairway will be lost! There was no 1st cut, 2nd cut, etc....it went from weedy fairway to 8+ inches! This was strictly a lack of maintenance on the course. We almost left after the 4th hole and 15 unfound balls but stuck it out through the front 9. Having driven an hour to get here we continued on but by the 17th we were done and out of balls. Not sure if the course has a used ball business or just no staff and equipment. Would play again but only if we knew the upkeep was happening. Too bad, nice looking clubhouse and all, just was left behind by time and lack of management! I guess our first clue would have been being able to get a last minute prime time tee time on a Holiday for $30! You get what you pay for!
