Great Course

This was my first time playing this course. My group and I were pleasantly surprised by the course, especially for the rate during season. We paid $44 for a great course when all other courses that were comparable were charging at least $85. The course was in great shape, fair layout and the pace of play was excellent. I definitely plan to go back to this course.

Great value

I paid $45 fora 12:30 tee times. For the price it’s excellent. Pro shop guy was friendly. Grass range with balls included in the price. Starter was a little gruff. Tee boxes good. Fairways good. Greens okay. Had some patchy spots and the speed was inconsistent. On a few greens the grass completely changed on half the green causing issues. All in all the greens were playable and not bumpy.

Layout was pretty cool. Get to see some nature. Few hawks and some fish jump.

Maybe this is an outlier but no one was on the course. Played Saturday at noon with a foursome. Flew through the course.

Would go back. Price is too good and what you get is comparable to Misty Creek for half the price.

Solid course.

Solid 4 stars. Some fairways are a bit sandy but you can tell this course is a work in progress. Good mix of open/ tough holes where strategy is important. Pace of play was very good (starter did a very good job and I even saw them driving around making sure everyone was playing up to pace). Will play again and I will recommend to others

Terrific

Since last we played in December, course in very good shape. Quite lush, greens receptive and roll well. Tee boxes overused in certain areas. New ownership making major strides

Good course that needs a little love

We enjoyed our round here, our first this year. Like many courses in the area, it's slightly shorter than what we're used to on the blue tees, but with several good length par 5s and few longer par 3s it was interesting to play. Some tee boxes need maintenance, and one was under repair. Greens were in reasonable condition for this time of year, maybe slightly slow. Some wide open fairways beckoned roping a drive, while a few right fairways called for caution. Penalties on a couple holes felt like they were deserved, and good course management was rewarded. Overall a good experience and reasonable value.

Locals Know Best

This course was full of locals...why? Great price for the quality of the course and a fun track. Florida golf with lots of water, but fair. Greens were a bit shabby, but the new owner is working on that. I'd definitely play here again.

Fun, but Slo

Fun and fair round. Nice distances from the forward tees. Fairways in nice condition. Greens coming around. Tee boxes pretty poor condition, but who cares as ya tee it up anyway. Pace of play got excruciating due to getting behind a clueless foursome in their own little world.

Nice course!

Great staff - front desk and starter. Harry was fantastic starter. Informative and so friendly and welcoming.

Back nine tough compared to front, and lots of wind.

Enjoyable course to play. Challenging and scenic.
