Great course!

Must have been the place to be back in the day but still a hidden gem! Beautiful course. Great staff. Highly recommend. We played it twice in a week. $40 the first time then a 26.99 hot deal! A great value at both price points!

Plays tough in the wind

Course is in great condition with lots of green. Greens roll nice. Some very commanding tee shots in the wind.

The electric golf cart that two of us wrote him ran out of juice by the ninth hole. We traded carts at the clubhouse to play the back nine. That cart ran out of juice by the 16th hole, and we used our second cart in the foursome to toss the rest of the round

Interesting layout for Florida

This was the second time we played the course. I must say we were totally surprised at how hilly this course was. Being from Western Pennsylvania where no course is without hills, we were pleasantly surprised.. The course was set up quite fairly for both men and women. The greens were in good enough shape to make your most challenging putt. The pace of play was incredibly fast. We finished the round in three hours and 40 minutes.. Considering there was a fivesome of men and a twosome in front of our twosome, we were quite pleased. All this being said, the biggest problem with this course is their carts. Before we even teed off, my husband had to get three different carts. The first one didn’t have a windshield and it was chilly so I made him change it. The second one didn’t have a hill hold which is essential for a course of this nature. The one we settled on would not go when we got to number seven. The young man came out with a replacement quite quickly.. We would recommend this course, but be careful in choosing your cart.

Unique for Florida

We were quite surprised to see such a hilly and scenic course in Florida. Being from western Pennsylvania, we are used to the hills so this was a pleasant surprise.. It was extremely scenic with the beautiful trees and rolling hills. I thought it was very fair for every level of golf skills. The course was in OK shape. It is winter golf so we know it’s not going to be perfect. The golf carts could use a little TLC. We would definitely go back.
