Condition

I guess you get what you pay for. I paid a cheap price and while the course used to be nicely conditioned, at this stage it is very neglected and poorly managed. It show lack of fertilization and maintenance. Traps a mess. Greens not good. Messy. A shame to see such a nice course in such a state of distress.

Nice day!

Staff is very friendly, very accommodating, very professional. Course is a very very good layout very interesting holes to play. Greens are in decent enough shape fairways are pretty bare in many spots but for 30 bucks you’re not getting Augusta.I would definitely go back and play for the price. if they put a little money into the place it would be one of the best courses I play around Orlando

Skip this one

Tee boxes had some grass. Most just packed dirt. Fairways dry and hard. Good roll. Most greens poor. About 6 okay. Inkers awful. Weeds, few rakes. Overall course condition not good. I will not play there again until they get rain, seed everything and pay some major attention to bunkers. Clubhouse closed at 5pm. Couldn’t get a drink or sandwich after the round. The carts were the highlight of the day.

Beautiful Layout

We like playing this course because it's so scenic. It is very hilly by Florida standards, but you can literally see for miles. Holes are interesting, no two alike. Unfortunately, the fairways are rock hard and somewhat barren. Also didn't understand why most of the pins on the back nine were placed within 5 feet of the edge of the greens? This will become one of my favorite courses if the condition significantly improves.

Interesting course lay out

Good course lay out. Sand traps lack rakes in most cases and have some erosion. Need to stay in the fairway as there are some deep drop offs. Not a boring course very interesting holes.

Good Value, Lower Your Expectations

First, price was good. $35 for 18 holes including a meal afterwards, and staff was nice. After that there are not a ton of positives Course has so much potential, with great elevated views, and challenging holes, but to be honest it looks as if they have given up on maintaining. Tee boxes and greens were fair at best, fairway grass was spotty at best, and sand traps were ridiculous....no rakes, and it almost seemed as if they might have thrown sand in areas because there was no intention of trying to help grass grow.

Pace was very slow. We were told in the pro shop that there was a starter, but he/she must have taken off without notice. Although staff inside was nice, others playing who may/may not have been members were not...very difficult trying to determine when we were to start and after whom etc.

There were no rangers, and things backed up, but we were not in a major rush...the golfers behind us had no golf etiquette and kept hitting into us when it was obvious we were waiting on those in front of us to clear the green etc.

Several nice, short par 4s, but also a couple that are totally insane. Our booking included a meal afterwards...basically a choice between 6 different sandwiches/hot dog, side and soft drink. Service was good, and our food was great.

The Clermont hills take this course a step higher. The views are great. The holes challenging but not discouraging. Must play! Course condition very fair for the rate. Will come back.

OK considering price

If you are looking for a nice course, go somewhere else. At $30, the expectations are lower so it's OK.

Nice Layout...Condition Not Up to Par

Lots to elevation changes and nice views from elevated tees. You have to play to the correct side of the fairways to stay out of trouble. Fairway grass was sparse. Sand traps, while having plenty of sand, were not maintained.

Greens were bumpy and inconsistent. With some TLC this course could be top notch.

Needs major work. Major money. Unfortunately one of many golf disasters . Must have been a terrific course at one time.
