Very nice course

As this was my first time playing at this course, I asked if there was a course guide in the pro shop. I was handed one that was actually quite nice.

The price was very reasonable for only nine holes. The carts were obviously well-maintained.

I got to the first tee, and this is where my only criticism of the course was. The tee boxes did have a number of rough patches. However, the fairways and the greens were in excellent condition.

As a single, I was able to get my round completed in just over an hour 15 minutes. I never had to wait for anybody in front of me even though I did see a group ahead of me.

I would hardly recommend this course to anyone who wants to play a very nice course for a decent price for nine holes. Playing a full 18, however, was a little bit out of my price range.

Disappointing

If you want your tee time pushed back or people put in front of you then this is the place to be. My dad and uncle have played at this golf course for years but the staff here allows new customers to come in and take their tee time or jump in front of them on the course. The staff had an attitude with them when they asked about it and told that it’s just how it works. Every Sunday for years they have had a tee time for a group of 10 or more but for the past month it has been an issue. If you want to be treated like your money doesn’t matter or like you’re a burden, this is the course for you.

Six some

We were 25 minutes late starting and they put a sixsome ahead of us. They came from playing back nine first so they were supposed to play only 9 holes but they were still playing after 18 holes and not keeping up with the foursome ahead of us. Just terrible round

Chilly Sunday in S. Fla.

The old guys need to pick up the pace or let others play thru.

Absolutely Great!

My time at the course was fantastic from start to finish. It was my first time playing here and exploring the area. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Victoria at the bar even helped me out when my phone died, which was a huge relief. The greens and fairway were well-maintained and the holes were a mix of tricky and fun challenges.

Honestly such a great course and worth the travel time and effort.

I’ll definitely be returning for another round soon!

It’s ok. Better off course than on

The staff and clubhouse and driving range is great. Course is ok but not in great condition. Tee boxes are awful. Greens are good. Bunkers awful condition and no one rakes. I’m a single digit 70 yr old golfer. I wouldn’t return unless it was the only place that had the tee time I need.

Nash

Club house is electric. Brand new and awesome set up. Great gear inside.

Range has trackman in every stall. Actual range/practice area is a little beat up. But nice to warm up and know distances as someone who lives up North.

Course is in good condition. Not pristine but to be expected. Greens roll true and is a pretty open/forgiving layout. Not a ton of water guarding the greens. Some of the tee boxes were ugly- but fairways and greens were decent

Food at the turn was good and everything is reasonably priced.

For the price- it's a great deal to have a day.

They have pace of play dialed here. Arguably overly communicative on the staff radios about pace.

Decent

There are much better courses for the money. Not luxury enough.

Just uses the palm Beaches name for clout.
