Windy round

The course played long with the strong wind today. Greens ran about 8 and we're in great shape. Course is a challenge for all handicaps even with multiple tees. Lots of water, especially on the signature page 3 on the back nine., Beautiful layout. A must play course.

Thanks for taking the time to send us your 5 Star Review. Yes the Back Nine sure is one heck of a test - one of the best in SW Florida. Hope we'll see you again soon at Legacy @ Lakewood Ranch.

A Pleasure to Play

This was the 2nd time I played this course in a two week period. The course is in great condition and greens are true. Pace of play would have been faster if we'd played as a twosome, but we paired up to make a foursome and those players had a lot of trouble with lost balls or out of bound shots. One has to manage this course to score well!

Understaffed

I've played this course a lot over the years, it's gone through some management changes and they seem to be suffering from staff shortages. They need marshalls, they need help at the check-in desk, everywhere. Only one guy checking guests in made it a ten minute process with just a foursome ahead of me. Golf Now indicated a lunch came with the tee time, but when I got there I was told that it didn't apply with a Golf Now reservation. It was a five hour round, to the minute. Teed off at 12:33 and finished at 5:33, sunset. That's too long for a round of golf anywhere. While I was checking in, two guys were trying to get a rain check for nine holes because they couldn't afford to keep playing waiting on every hole. The greens and fairways were in decent shape, fairway bunkers were unmaintained, it's a challenging course and when they keep things moving, it can be enjoyable. But this is the second time this has happened to me, and the last.

Cicprod,

We appreciate the feedback... and identified the slow group from last Fri - using our Tagmarshal system. Again we're THANKFUL - even if it wasn't Thanksgiving week - for your feedback... & anticipate pace to return on busy Friday afternoons to between 4:16-4:25 - as it had been consistently in recent months - even on the busiest of those Fridays. The morning pace of play is consistently at or under 4:10. And if you return to play us someday, we'd appreciate you giving the mornings a chance.

Best for a great holiday season.

Pace of play

They let 8 foursomes of ladies out ahead of us on the 13th hole. We were finishing the 11th and caught up to the ladies league quickly. Playing the 13th through the 18th holes was brutal. God bless the ladies. They have every right to play of course. However, we were not told this would occur when signing in. I suggest the that they do that moving forward. Otherwise, it was a pleasure.

First Time

Excellent course, tee’d off on time and the first 6 holes the pace of play was excellent. Don’t know what happened after this but each hole had two four balls waiting. I wasn’t impressed when another four ball went by whilst we were playing only to find them on the tee when we went to the next hole. After a few words they conceded the right of play. A Marshall would have ensured that I would have rated the course 5 stars.

Tough course, slow play

I really liked the course. I am looking forward to playing it when the weather is better. It was a little chilly and the wind was blowing quite a bit, which made what I think is already a challenging course even more difficult. The course was in pretty good shape. Not great, but good for the price. The only thing that I was disappointed with was pace of play. We teed off at 1:30 and had to quit at hole 17 due to darkness. The 2 groups in front of us were really slow and what made things worse was players from behind us skipping ahead. That really jammed things up.

It's back

I've played this course many times over the years, and this is the best condition I've seen it in, in years. Fairways were excellent, even cut, no bare spots. Greens were running about a 10 on the stimp., but could've been cut and rolled to make them a little faster, but that's just my preference. If you play from the #2 tees, it will give you all you want. Highly recommended..

Veterans Day Golfing

What a beautiful course. The staff was excellent the course was in great shape the greens were true and fast the pace of play was right on time 4 hours from the tips. Shot a 78. And one more thing to add I was not charged for my wife to ride with me in the car even though we were a foursome. I would recommend this course to anyone to play and I will definitely be back for another round
