Day on the course

Beautiful day for golf in FL and the course was good. Greens were a bit slow and needed groomed, same seems it has been a bit since mowing occurred. The worse part of this course is the bunkers are not well kept, very little sand, it is hard and lots of weeds. None the less it is a fun course to play.

If you go....

simply know that the course is in really rough shape. If you want value for the money, this is not the place to play. The cart we had was on its last legs, the tees are horrible, the fairways are nonexistent. Only positive is the greens. They were "ok". Pace of play - very slow....

Rough

I have played this course multiple times because of time and cost. There were four groups backed up on the first tee with no staff from the course intervening. The first of the three groups ahead of us took 25 minutes to play the 360 yard par four. Most of the time it was difficult to find a spot in the fairway from which to hit. The greens were ok but every green differed in condition and speed. The trees are evidently never trimmed.

The layout of the course is pretty bad. If you are looking to play golf, reconsider playing this course. Every time I play it I promise myself to never do it again.

Slow as all heck

Crowded and slow as heck. When we made the turn they left 2 additional groups in front of us, let them start on the back nine. Which in itself is a problem, but the last time I played this course we actually asked to start on the back nine and were told NO we don't allow that.

Terribly run

Quite possibly the worst run golf course we have ever been to. Such a shame, great layout.

Not in great condition

Could be a great course with proper conditions.

We had a five-some ahead of us which slowed the pace for everyone on the course. No Marshall to be seen.
