Wet weather
Used cart

The course reflected recent weather conditions.There had been heavy rains in Miami and hole 1 was closed so they discounted my round. It was cart path only since there was still a lot of standing water on the perimeter on the course but the fairways were mostly dry. The greens were EXTREMELY slow owing to the fact that the weather had likely prevented them from mowing as regularly as they'd like. Staff was friendly and the bar looked fun but I didn't partake. I'd love to come back when it isn't so wet.

First time

Had a blast! Came out early in the morning with my friend and his stepdad and we couldn’t have been happier! Course is difficult and if not accurate you will run into trouble, but with that being said still very fun to play, the greens play true and are well kept! Definitely come to this course

Challenging Doesn’t Mean Good

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The pro shop well stocked. The course was in OK condition - but plenty of brown spots and not exactly trimmed around the edges. Tee boxes were a mess - plenty of weeds. Way too many water carries and doglegs - combined with undulating fairways and tricky greens. The hole with a 20-foot elevated green is like playing mini-golf. The carts lacked GPS. And pace of play - forget it. It took our threesome five hours - with long waits on many holes - and that’s after we called the pro shop and had a ranger come out.. Played much better courses for less.

Still enjoy playing this beast!

Haven’t been here in a few months but was pleasantly surprised at the overall playing conditions. Greens were decent and with new carts, pleasant people working there, not to mention the prettiest and nicest cart girl we have encountered anywhere around here, it really is a fun 18 holes. We’ll be back.

TOO SLOW

The pace of play was painfully slow and turned what would have been a great course to play into a terrible experience. 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes is just not acceptable especially when we booked it looked like there was planty of open tee times available prior to ours. It was so crowded I suspect they double book and then send groups off as they arrive. 2 groups on every par 3 is not enjoyable. Would not return solely due to pace of play.

Fairways and greens in excellent condition

Second time playing here. Love the layout, and the greens and fairways were top-notch. For some reason, they don’t care what the tee boxes are like. They are terrible. But in my opinion, I would much rather have excellent fairways and greens than tee boxes. Staff extremely helpful, professional, and friendly. I will definitely be back.

Enjoyable course

The course has an enjoyable layout with some challenging holes accompanied by water. The greens were in decent condition.

Sadly the tee-boxes are some of the worst I have seen, and need some serious work. Quite pricey for the condition of the course.

Great challenging course

Stopped by after a convention in Miami. A bit hot, but beautiful weather. Even with the hot and dry season we're having in Florida, the course was in great shape. Very nice fairways and great challenging greens. The pace was a bit slow (4 hours playing solo in the middle of the week) because it's a long and challenging course. The overall course could benefit from some updates, but not affecting the course.
