Hilly course for Florida

Tee times were backed up almost 30 minutes, but overall the round wasn't to bad. Course was in decent shape with the greens rolling good. That's really the main thing.

Great track!!

Great layout! Was a lot of fun to play. Although it can be challenging but that’s a good thing to some people like myself and others will complain because the course kicked there butt. Course was in good shape. I would definitely recommend this course. For those golfers who doesn’t like real golf like undulation, bunkers and actually rough you may not like this course. Staff was fantastic! Thanks for a great afternoon of golf.

Poor maintenance.

The layout of the course was very challenging. However, the condition of the course was horrible. The rough hadn't been maintained in weeks. I missed a few fairways and couldn't ever find my ball. It is not much fun to the average golfer when you can't find your ball a few feet off the fairway. I believe the rough was made up of every truf grass but Bermuda. The bunkers were non-existent. Every bunker had weeds in them and were in my opinion unplayable. The superintendent should be embarrassed by the condition of this course.

A diamond in the rough

Always love playing in the hills of Clermont. Course could use some upkeep, but generally speaking it was in decent shape. I was playing with two very kind gentlemen and had a wonderful round.

What a great track. For talented players only!

The best layout I've played in Florida. Lots of fun but you really need to play it at least twice, which we will. Requires good judgement, not only off the tee but what section of the green to aim for. It's quite unfortunate that the fairway, bunker and rough were in marginal condition but given the time of year, maybe it will improve as winter approaches. Great bar and restaurant ! We're planning on going back in a week or two. Let's see!

Great layout

The course has a great layout with the elevation changes but it has been in better condition in the past. There were a lot of weeds and many of the tee boxes were in poor condition.

Scenic but rough

This course is scenic. But otherwise a weed infested swamp. The greens are slow and impossible to putt on. No rakes for traps.

Needs work

The course was not in good condition. It’s been over run with weeds and the greens and tee boxes are 50/50 grass and dirt. The pace was terrible. 18 holes in 5 hours on a Sunday waiting for 2 groups each tee.

Sanctuary Ridge

The course was in nice shape. The greens were putting well and a lot of the scrub areas have been cut back and cleaned up. The elevation changes and blind shots make this an interesting place. I would recommend it.

This place was at one time a premier place too play. Now not so much. Greens are good and tee boxes are fine but everything inbetween needs work.
