Good course, good value
Challenging layout with good hole variation.
Fairways in good shape, greens recently punched, tee boxes are ok—all par for the course this time of year
Played a solo round on a Tuesday afternoon in about 3hrs
Would play again.
Greens were ariated again?
We played here a couple of weeks ago and the greens had been ariated a couple of weeks before that and we're starting to come back. Go play yesterday thinking the greens should be good but not today. Apparently they punched the greens again within the last week and there was wet sand everywhere. Fingers crossed the greens are better next month. 🤞
Pleasant Course
Nice course, greens in good shape, fairways not so much. Good value for the cost.
Summer play
Good round. Not too busy. Some heavily smushy areas. I hit the ball high and had some balls buried around the green. Other than that very happy I played here. Plan to play here more often.
Mr
It was not announced that the course had been aerated fairways and greens absolutely not good as it's not very playable no roll whatsoever really very bad
Golf now should be informed about such conditions so that the players are warned and can decide if the y want to play or not

We need to maintain the course in the summer if you want excellent conditions all year at a great price.
Not bad
The course itself forces you to think about your shots because placement is crucial. Large bunkers and plenty of water come into play the entire round. Pace of play could improve if a ranger enforced it. I was a single behind 2 foursomes. I ended up skipping a hole so that I wouldn't have to sit idle for the entire round. There is no stop at the turn either which isn't great.
Greens were the worst greens I’ve ever played on
Worst greens I’ve ever played on. I couldn’t even putt they were covered in sand, it felt like I was putting at the beach and ruined my day of golf.

For anyone else reading this we recently aerified the greens, which is why we have sand on them. We need to do periodic maintenance to keep the greens healthy.
AWESOMENESS
Great Course
Great Staff
Great Food
Awesome Day!
The course was in amazing shape. My friends from Jersey were shocked at how nice the greens were and the general shape of the course. My friends ultimate compliments, "I'd play that course again!"
FL Summer Golf
Dang was it hot this day haha. The course was in good condition but we were waiting on almost every tee for two twosomes in front. By the way, we were a foursome… Cart girl instantly became our friend as waiting was the name of the game. Other than that the course was challenging but fun with a good mix of short and long holes.
Tight Course, Drought Conditions
Fun but pretty beat up like most of the courses in that part of Florida due to drought. One nit to pick: I got there early to warm up and got sent out early and way before I was ready, rather rudely, by the starter. At the very least he could have asked if that was all right. Then the guy he paired me with drove off with my bag! I chased him down; he was a nice guy, nobody informed him either.
The River Club
The course is in great shape. Fast pace of play come May 1 prices go down. Staff is very friendly. Driving Gf range is close to the first tee. Halfway house has great sandwiches and refreshments
We need to aerify 3 times each summer if you want excellent conditions all year round. This was our second. Our final one will be in September. Usually takes a week or so to heal.
