LPGA International - Jones Course

Course cannot handle rain with poorly designed drainage…we hit a major thunderstorm and got thru 4 1/5 holes. Rain was anticipated as every day in the rainy season…worse than that worse than that, no rain-check because we paid in advance (thru GolfNow) and the pro shop staff was less than “Pro”. To top it all off, we tried to get a hot dog in the restaurant during the rain delay but gave up after waiting over an hour from when we ordered…not sure we will go back anytime soon…

Wide open course that was fun to play. Still wet spots from the rain but you can't control the weather. It was no problem to just stay and play in the mostly dry fairways. The greens are in good shape just a little slow from all the recent rain. I played on a hot deal for $38 so it was a great value.

Real wet after rain. Not a shocker. Prob should have been shut down but we clogged around. Love the xourse. Good condition greens good

Good course only got to play front due to rain. Will return later to play whole course.

Rainy season and area has been pounded by rain.. It was cart path only which made for a tough round.. Most Fairways was good despite the rain. Greens was great

Course is always in great shape and will come back all the time.

The course is in great shape. It’s summer in Florida, so take that into consideration.

I like the course, as it’s both a challenge, but gettable too. The greens roll generally true and aren’t too ‘receptive’, even if spritzed w/ a little rain.

Only the Jones Course is open while they rework Hills Course green complexes, so Jones may be getting some extra play. I can say that $80 is steep for this course, considering Spruce Creek, Cypress Head and Venetian Bay are right there…I mean, DBGC and even New Smyrna Beach GC’s are competent, so I feel the only detractor from the LPGA courses are price.

That said, if you want to book an afternoon round and spend the morning practicing, there’s no better place I know of for that…so in that way, for the serious golfer, LPGA is totally worth experiencing. Your scores on Jo es will build confidence, and the practice greens, bunker and range are just short of elite (meaning: more than plenty good!). Staff is nice and food and bev on course (though I recommend being greedy and buying at first opportunity…you might not see the bev cart 2 or 3 times, so once should suffice). Will definitely be back to play LPGA, probably twice to get a load of the new greens on Hills side too!

The LPGA Jones Course is a great golf course for the money paid. Fairways and greens were in very good shape. Service was effective and attentive. I would definitely recommend this course.

Tough day to enjoy due to wet conditions and a very hot day. Took 3 hours to play front 9, but pro shop was very good about giving us a rain check that’s good until the end of the year. It’s a very good track - just bad timing with several days in a row of rain that preceded our round. I’ll be back.

This place is going down hill fast. I heard a rumour that it is or was being sold. That would explain the disaster it has turned into. Historically this course was a treat. You paid an additional 20-30 dollars then some other courses in the area, but you could count on great course conditions and fantastic greens. The current conditions are poor to average muni conditions. Look, for the price I paid its hard to complain to vigorously, but when you have experience with the facility and you see it in the current condition it s heartbreaking. If rumour is true that its being sold, hopefully the new will treat the properties with the respect they deserve. For these reasons I struggle to recommend this course and would direct people to others first.

LPGA Jones is a great course for the average golfer. The fairways are generally wide so you will find your tee shot. But you will be pretty severely punished by rough, mounds, or bunkers. There are few forced carries. And it’s largely a second shot golf course. The greens are usually divided into sections. Hit the section that the pin is on and you have a pretty straight putt. Hit one of the other sections and you’re in 3 putt territory. Miss the green and the up and down and bunkers will be difficult. It’s a lot of fun to play and a fun layout. The course was in really good shape the day I played. Greens smooth and fast. Faster than I’ve played in a while. Fairways in great shape. Tee boxes in good shape. Two minor complaints. I thought the bunkers needed to be spun. Too much heavy soft sand. And we made the turn in right at 2 hours. And there were 3 groups waiting on 10. The pace on the back was really slow. However, a course I really enjoy that I go back to every time I’m in the area.
