Worse conditions I have ever seen

This course should be paying the the golfers to play the course. It is a cow pasture. There no interest by the owners in maintaining the course it looks like a Meadow. There is absolutely no grass anywhere, nothing but clover in the fairways if you could call them that they, are not delineated at all. The greens are in horrible shape. You should not have this course on your selection as it is extremely is this extremely horrible. I felt like asking for my money back.

Slopes & Hills.

Fun course to play to break the monotony of flat tracks throughout central Florida. Conditions are just okay, but I don’t take it that seriously. If I land in a bare spot, I simply move my ball to a grassy area and keep it flowing. You’ll probably use all your clubs to navigate this fun but quirky course.

Terrible!!!

Absolutely horrible how they have let that course get this way. Used to really enjoy playing here, although after playing there last weekend I will NEVER be back. No grass on what should be a fairway. Bunkers are grown over with weeds, although they still left the rakes in there, and forget about the greens. My group paid for 18 holes although we threw in the towel after 9. Would never waste my money here again. Be warned.

Nice layout but poor condition

This course has a good deal of elevation changes which was enjoyable for me as most courses in Florida are pretty flat. However, there is virtually no fairway grass to speak of, the sand traps were in terrible condition and in general, there was very little care taken to keep the course in good condition.

Needs Work

First of all - I’d have to say I love the layout of this course. But on the down side - course is in really bad shape. Need grass cut back in areas, then grass needed in others. Traps are over grown. Don’t really understand why they would let course get in this bad of shape ??

Really cool layout - really terrible shape !!

Don't waste your money

Last played this course about 8 yrs ago. It was tough and in beautiful condition and I couldn't wait to go back. This time it was a total disappointment and waste of money. Every fairway was nothing but wide open areas of dirt and weed patches with little grass. Except for maybe 4 sand traps every other ones were overgrown with weeds and not maintained. Trying to find a good lie was impossible. Every green was dry and bumpy. The entire course was not maintained and an embarrassment to play. I loved this course but never played anywhere where I saw such bad conditions on every hole. Not sure what happened but will never go back.

Dry Ridge

The last time I visited this course it was in October 2020. At that time I had no complaints. The course is in very rough shape. I am talking tee boxes, fairways and greens. Lake of watering seems to be the issue. The cart girl, which is an absolute plus for this course advised that the sprinklers were broken and that the course was getting better. Hitting off dirt in the tee box and the fairway is a rough way to play. Watching the ball bounce as it rolls on the green is unacceptable. I love the layout of this course, the location and the staff. I feel a little time and effort into the rest of the course is needed. I will give it another shot in the fall.

Where’s the grass?

The entire course is a sand trap. There is no grass on the fairways. The bunkers have overgrown plants and weeds in them. The greens are partially dead and have crabgrass that will totally change the line of your ball. Trust the reviews you are reading here and take your money to a course that is maintained. I won’t step foot on this course again.
