First Time Playing

Really enjoyed the layout, the staff was nice but unfortunately the conditions of the tee boxes, fairways and greens were not in good shape under any objective review. Would really like to head back out as the layout really set up for my game and offered the right amount of risk and reward but unless conditions improve I’ll hold off. Will be watching the reviews to see if things get better.

Take care of this course!

Very disappointed in the condition of this course! The tee boxes, fairways and greens are all in poor condition. We have played this course for 7 straight years and always found it in excellent shape. RIght now not worth playing.

Course is in muni level condition. Greens and tee boxes could use work. Certainly not worth more than $30 a round for the quality of the golf course. Free range balls prior to the round was nice and the staff was friendly. Might be back if the conditions improve

A nice Florida course but tee boxes need attention

We played on sunny windy cool day, course fairways in good shape. Unfortunately on the back nine, tee boxes and greens had sparse grass and had changed quite a bit from when my playing partners had experienced their visit 3 weeks prior.

To be fair they had a massive amount of rain the prior evening and many of the sand traps turned into small ponds.

The wildlife their was abundant. Saw gators (one was 12 feet long). Also saw turtles, many birds, and squirrels.

Free range balls and customer service was great.

The course is well laid out. The staff was very friendly and take good care of you. My main concern is the conditions of the course, the front nine was in good condition, the back nine was in terrible shape.

VERY GOOD LAYOUT

Very nice layout, greens were hard, but putted well fairways dormant in some areas., needs some watering. The are reroofing and adding or extending a patio which appears to be where all the money is going. We are use to playing this course when it is in country club shape, not there at this time.

disappointed

The condition of the course was very poor. There were many spots on numerous greens, and in most fairways that have no grass, just dirt. I played out of a bunker our two that had more grass in them than the fairways. They seem to putting a ton of money into the clubhouse, but maybe the course is next? We paid $75 each to play, but I would say this is a $40 course.
