Worth the Drive

I've played this course a few times over the years and if I can find a good deal it's well worth the drive from St. Pete. Staff is friendly & practice area feels like a private club with free balls on the range, chipping and putting greens. The course is not too difficult but there's lots of water and big sandy bunkers. Carts are brand new GPS and even warn you when there's an alligator nearby which is handy! Going back in a few weeks.

Interesting Layout

Another residential country club type course that needs rejuvenation of the greens (playable, but very slow) Interesting layout, great practice areas. Bunkers were in good shape, fairways didn’t appear to be overseeded.

Not so good

Range was in horrible condition. Nice staff, but the starter and rangers were nowhere to be found Therefore the pace of play was not good. The 2 visitors I was paired with left after 3 holes. That made it tough for me as a single until the back nine. They left to play 9 at Streamsong.

We won’t ever be back.

disappointing

we've always liked this course but worse shape we've seen it in. Have played several courses in the area and this is by far the worst we've played. Not a repeat this year.

Perfect golf day

From the Pro Shop, Straight through to the after round drinks our foursome had a great day.

The staff is friendly and helpful, everyone greeted us with a smile and hello, the restaurant staff was exceptional! the manager was fantastic which trickled over to her staff as you could tell by how positive, helpful and attentive the staff was, our waitress interacted with us and joked with us. GREAT JOB BY YOU BOTH!

The golf course has several tee options, the layout is great, bunkers are the most consistent I've played in this area (sand was soft and every trap was the same, many many traps) fairways and rough are good. Greens are decent, we played late morning and they had a bit of growth making them slow.

The only thing that could be improved was the lack of golf etiquette (knowledge) of the grounds crew, we would be hitting and rather then stopping for the minute they would just carry on driving by or running there machines within 10-20 yards of us.

Thanks for. Great day!

Golf

Course is not in good condition. Fairways have barely any grass. Greens had a lot of sand and in below average condition. Did see plenty of alligators. Snack area wasn’t open so no food or drinks.

Improving condition

Played here a couple of times over the last few weeks and the course is improving. The greens were hollow tined a few weeks ago and are gradually getting better and smoother. The bunkers are having new sand in them and the overall condition is getting better each week. Staff are very friendly. There are free range balls when you arrive. We played on a Sunday behind a mixed Texas scramble so the front 9 was fairly slow but the whole round took us less than 3 1/2 hours. We will play there again and it's good value for the "Hot 🔥" tee time.

Nice Coursr

This was a great day for golfing. My wife and I played in 3 hours with few people on the course. Just the right level of challenge for mid-70 year old golfers.
