Town course

Nice course. There’s some water and it’s challenging. Staff is very friendly. The marshal even tried to talk in French for us.

Fun/challenging

Course is fun and challenging for a bogey golfer as myself. My only complaint is the condition of the greens made it virtually impossible to putt

Not the ideal conditions but worth the money for a cheap round

A buddy and I played this course and had a good time overall. The greens are very spotty, where you have dead grass on the green. However you can see the potential this course has on some holes as the greens are perfect. For the price you can not beat it especially this time of year

First and Last Time Here

Very poor conditions. Not enough grass for the fairways. If you were on the green you were always having to reposition your ball to try and find a line you could putt only on grass. The whole course needs a good bit of TLC to get back to how it should be.

I think the course has potential... But it's in rough shape.

The course has a nice layout. Unfortunately it was really in rough shape. Tee boxes, fairways and putting surfaces all a mess. It's disappointing, because it could be nice. It appears it's not being taken care of.

Bad pace even on a wednsday

Well most of the reviews are correct. Horrible shape like they really don't care.Most greens have dirt and sand on them. No grass mostly hardpan in the fairways and the rough. I had the distinct pleasure to be stuck behind 2 old ladies who hit the ball about 100 or less yards every shot and then looked for golf balls in the water or the woods never once looking in my direction or saying go ahead and play through. Expect 5-6 hours no ranger and awful. cow pasture-like conditions. I cannot stress how bad the course is I don't have enough words. This used to be my home track about 10 years ago. Very sad at the conditions I will not be back for another 10 years. Good Luck if you play it!

Very disappointed in the condition of course. Tee boxes and greens were in very poor condition. This course was a favourite in the area. No longer.

The staff, as usual, were very helpful and pleasant to deal with. It is unfortunate that the course has been allowed to deteriorate so much.

Pretty Disappointed

Being from the icy Midwest I was looking forward to coming down to Florida and play a fun round of 18. I read the reviews and in my mind I thought, these people leaving reviews are probably used to super nice courses and that’s why they are saying what they are saying. Boy oh boy I was wrong. The course is in roughy shape, I gave up taking putting seriously cause of all the patches of dirt, sad or just holes. I found that only the Par 3s were nice greens. Also the grass was very long in certain parts. If I was to select a price point to put this at it would be $18-23. We paid $38 in off season.

Also no range, which obviously makes it hard to warm up.

Excellent layout never felt like hitting into anyone

Course was in good condition for February in Florida winter rules on the greens and fairways. Challenging par 5s and par 3s but make able very nice and friendly staff would definitely play there over and over. Thank you for a great Florida golf day hope to be back soon...

The staff were very friendly. The issue was though the parking lot was not crowded. It appeared that everyone took off between 12 and 1 o’clock. In that context it was extremely backed up. Our teatime was at 12:48. We were only able to play 13 holes.
