Trust negative reviews, I didn’t

Pace of play grueling on a100 degree weekday afternoon, waited 5-10 minutes to hit each shot. Absolutely, no drinking water on course.

Great day of golf. Played with a father and son from Birmingham and a guy from New Orleans. All very nice and good golfers. I’m from Pace Florida.

Course was in good shape. It is a great outlay and many different types of holes . played Dunes-Vista.

Staff very nice . Not too busy so pace was less than 4 hrs . Booked on golf now . Good Value. I will make the 1 hour drive soon again.

Retirees Popping out on random holes

I like to play early for pace of play and play 9 holes. On family vacation and this allows me to play and be back at a reasonable time. This course offers a great option for playing 9. I did this 3 times and 2 of the times random golfers with their own carts appeared in front of me that I had to wait on. I guess they allow the local residents to just jump on whenever. Ranger was quick to discuss with me that I teed off 10 minutes early when I was first off but they were nowhere to be found on the course to prevent the people jumping out in front of me at the course.

Great Course - VERY SLOW PACE

Course was amazing!

My friends and I loved the course, but the place of play (almost 5-hours for three of us) was painful.

The group in front of us, another threesome were awful and one was hitting multiple mulligans on every hole.

They even drove their carts right next to the green on a par 3.

It was a very hot and slow day.

We saw the cart girl twice all day and there is only one water fountain (at the bathroom).

They need water coolers on the course.

NICE FACILITY

I played Lakes and Vista (was told the easiest 2 of the 3). I'm a HIGH handicapper and I was able to be challenged without cursing the course. Both are pretty level and straight, but there's plenty of strategically placed tree, bunkers, or lakes to make it interesting.

Only negative, the courses are spread throughout a nice subdivision, which is fine, except it doesn't leave you areas of privacy when you need it. Of my 18 holes, I only saw 1 bathroom on the course besides the clubhouse.

Great course for the money. Course maintenance not quite as good as other local courses, but it is much cheaper to play here.

New to make sure the pace of play is NOT slow, really slow today. It was a 5 hour round because of a 3 person group just screwed around all day. A Marshall would have taken care of that.
