Enjoy the elevations!

I played this course simply to practice the elevation changes provided. It’s not the typical Florida course and that’s enough reason to give it a try.

Great course

Great course, great layout, every hole is different and a challenge. Good scores can be made by well placed shots.

Highest course in Florida with hilly up and down holes, a real gem.

You've Come A Long Way

I haven't played here in a while, and the conditions are exponentially better. There are still some weeds in the fairways, but nothing noticeable. The greens are much better than I've ever seen here. One of the best places in Central Florida for elevation changes on a course. Definitely worth the price.

The course has come back nicely over the last year

I have played this course a number of times over the last several years. While the conditions were not so good about a year and a half ago, they have been improving. The greens are very nice. The fairways still need work but seem to be improving. The value for the price is extremely good. Staff is excellent and the topography can't be matched by any of the courses in the area. Views are great.

Too slow a play

We had a 7:58 tee time, we showed up early so we could hit balls and warm up. They had an group outing that delayed the tee times, so we didn’t get started until 8:40! Every hole we waited, some holes their were 3 groups on the hole! No ranger, cart girl only sat between holes 9 and 10. The fairways were awful, the greens not too bad. Pace of play was painful.

Amazing Florida course!!!

Had a blast playing this course. Who would have thought there were hills in Florida? The course has improved a ton over the last year and the new manager Max was very friendly and accommodating to let our group out ahead of an outing. Overall great experience and the loaded tater tots were great after the round!

Good Value

First time on this course. Liked the ups and downs and dog leg holes. Also a number of interesting holes making good use of the slopes. A little difficult first time playing as the cards nor the Tee markers gave much info on the hole...many being blind from the tees. Course conditions could be improved. Areas of fairway poor. Some tees & bunkers poor but most of the greens in good order. Carts are diesel and smelt a bit. Limited distance markers.

However for cost still enjoyable.

I love the layout and fined it very challenging. The staff is friendly and professional. Sure the course could be in a little better shape but it’s a great bang for your buck.

Surprised by aerification

Booked through golf now, drove 45 minutes to replay this fun track. Had been here last week and wrote a stirling review. As we entered the clubhouse, we saw a sign saying “restaurant closed due to aerification”. I looked at my brother and said “wow, I hope the restaurant has a turf floor and they don’t mean the course”. Well they meant the course. It had been aerated the day before and was totally unplayable as the greens were covered with chunks of dirt and mud. I spoke to the manager about why there was no aerification alert on Golfnow and he blamed GolfNow for not posting it. I also asked why they didn’t post a sign last week and he had no answer. Very disappointed after the log drive and stuck with no other option except to play on un-puttable greens, and to have the restaurant closed.

Fun course, amazing elevation changes

Played here a few times, always enjoy playing this hidden track. Super friendly staff jumped on our bags from the parking lot and guided us through checkin. Reasonable price through golf now. Greens were excellent with plenty of break. Tees and fairways a little rough in spots but mostly fair to excellent. What makes this place unique is the extreme elevation changes on just about every shot you hit. The only flat stance I had all day was in the pro shop while checking in! I’m a 10 hcp and played the blue tees and was adequately challenged on every hole. My wife is a 17 and was happy with her position and opportunities on every hole. Very fair course. Drinking water on nearly every hole and beverage cart available. Lots of natural hazards abound on each side of most holes and if you hit it crooked expect to be taking a long walk down a hill for your next shot.

Poor condition it use to be a nice course

Fairways are thin, greens are slow and bumpy and not mowed, rough well if your off the fairways good luck finding your ball. The course use to be one of the better ones
