First time here

The course was dry, needs to be watered. The greens are hard and they don’t hold up well. Pace of play was slow. No beverage cart at all!!!

Reviewed on previous experience

Unfortunately the above scores are based on previous play as I had today's round due to regular heavy rain showers following hurricane Michael. Also as it was a hot deal booking and the course remained open I doubt I'll get a refund so won't be using golf now again. Presumably they expect you to get a soaking even though the wind and rain was pretty extreme.

Slowest round ever!

They had our time set up right behind a youth tournament. It was so slow almost an hour for 2 holes. 3 hours and 30 minutes for the front nine at least. Worse part was the club pro showed no concern whatsoever. I get they are a nice club but imo this is unacceptable behavior and a complete lack of concern for anyone that comes there to play who is not a member or local I guess. A shame to see type of apathetic behavior. I won't go again period!

Lucky Find and a Great Course

I was lucky to find a very low price for golf and was very suspect. When I arrived I was greeted by professionals and introduced to a great course.

This is a truly 5 star establishment and the only reason I did not give it a complete 5 star review is that the greens are recovering from aeration. Even so, they have done a great job with the greens.

Nice course

Nice layout with good greens which unfortunately were airated prior to our round. It was an enjoyable outing with the exception of the clubhouse manager being very unfriendly to us.

Going to give it another chance

Paid $50 to play with the course. Showed up and the staff was polite and friendly. When I went to pay they told me that it was cart path only so I expected a slower pace of play and some water. The course was drenched and even in the fairways I was standing in muddy puddles. The greens were in great shape but I left after 9 holes because of the watery conditions. I’ll try this course again because the layout was fun and challenging. Not sure that I’d play again for $50 and definitely not if it has rained at all.

All great but the cart paths are disgrace

All great but the cart paths are disgraceI would probably have that done sooner than later there was a couple areas with the potholes were huge and there was a big drop off about 6 to 8 inches on one part of the cart path it’s pretty aggravating to drive on that stuff other than that everything was excellent you fix that I’ll come back but it that’s a big deal to me because I could feel every bump thanks again for all

First time out on this track. Great layout. Fairly wide open. Dodges a few rainstorms during round - greens have excellent drainage - able to re-start round each time. Will definitely be back.

Play it while you can.

This is a gem of a course and for most of the year it is private so play it now while you can. What a wonderful layout and beautifully maintained. The greens are on the slow side but they roll true. Love this layout. I will play it again and again as long as I can.

Perfect Greens

Great older course with a nice layout. I've only played here a couple times because it takes a little effort to get to it. The greens are the best part of the course, they roll smooth and true, but the grain makes them hard to read. It is not overly long or particularly difficult, but fun and challenging. Fairways were a bit dry for this time of year. rough was cut pretty short, so it wasn't very penalizing. Overall I had a good time, and will come back if the price is right.

Another Great Experience

This is a really great course for the money. The course was in great shape and played very evenly. with many different tee boxes, the yardages are good for most all golfers.

There are a couple of holes (2 & 10) that could be designed a bit better or at least additional information provided to let you know how to play the hole. I did not see a yardage book but that doesn't mean there wasn't one.

Best suggestion: Bring a GPS as there are a few shots you might want to play over if you knew you could carry.

All-in-all, very nice and will play it again whenever I can.
