No ball cleaning stations anywhere throughout the entire course!

A majority of the greens were in desperate need of repair

The course needs some serious TLC ie..mowing, divit repair and cleaning around the tee pads.( broken tees) scattered.

The individual who checked me needs to work on his social skills , .He gets an F .

Not worth the money

The course didn’t have score cards, but did have GPS, but that doesn’t tell you total yardage slope. The course is not in good shape. Greens and fairways have bald spots. There was no drinkable water on course, drink holders empty. Though they had water at turn. Got stuck behind 3 Fivesomes, when spoke with clubhouse, there answer was there members. Got stuck behind them at 4 th hole. Waited it out till turn, but couldn’t finish. They offered a rain check but that doesn’t help when visiting from NY. They asked about going out on front 9 again, but course was not all that. Would not recommend. Course was on higher side of price range too. Won’t go back there.

Save your $!

Worst conditions I’ve played in, since the Eagles

Bear tee boxes, Lousy, fairways, and even worse greens.

I drove 45 minutes from Tampa to get there, time, I unfortunately will never get back

Walked off the course, disgusted , after nine holes

Save your money!

Pass it by!

One of the worst courses I’ve played in Southern Florida.

Poor tee boxes, poor fairways, lousy greens

I walked off after nine holes. The layout could be nice, although a little funky, if you haven’t played it before.

But there was no excuse for the conditioning

Especially, for the green fee they charged

Stay away!

Ghost Town

Maybe everyone is home watching the Masters vs playing on this beautiful day, I dunno. But this place was a ghost town. Sat 12:45 tee time and had the course to myself. Beautiful tract of land, somewhat neglected tho. Amazing homes surround the course. You can tell it used to be amazing, but something’s amiss. Greens rolled tight n right, lots of wildlife, and generally a grip n rip type of course. Def recommend! Free range balls, nice practice bunker and greens. Killer clubhouse and bar, new carts with GPS and Bluetooth. Where are all the people? Who cares, come check it out and stay a while.

Terrible golf course

Basically this course is a decent layout but without any upkeep other than mowing the weeds. Don’t waste your time and money on this!

Need helps

The course needs help. Maintenance staff either doesn’t exist, or they don’t have the funds to take care of it anymore. It’s going downhill fairly quickly.
