Good public course and reasonable

A little confusion at the starter, then slow play.

I’d go back but it’s a busy place

You need to stop here.

Staff were very friendly. Course was in good shape. Greens rolled well. Very reasonable green fees for what you get. Will definitely go back. If there was one negative is the course was very wet despite not having rain for several days.

First Time Playing

Very enjoyable round

Played here while on holiday with some friends who are also visiting. First time playing here and very impressed. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Course marshal was great, and stopped to have a chat with us a couple of times and told us where we might see some alligators on the course. Thought the course was in great condition and really enjoyed the layout, lots of really interesting holes with no two alike. We played on a Sunday afternoon, so had fully expected it to be a bit busy, however after we called a couple of two-balls through early on we pretty much had the course to ourselves. Pace of play was excellent. We probably took a bit longer than we should (8 minutes over pace according to cart gps) but we were enjoying the scenery, and as there was no one in front or behind us, it didn’t matter. We’ve played some more expensive courses over here and this was just as good, so real value for money. I’d recommend the course to anyone and may well play here again before we return home.

Nice round with buddy's

I really like the layout. Played white for the first time. I think I would prefer something between White and blue. Course is very wet but we enjoyed our round. Would have been better at 3 - 3.5 hours with a 7:08 tee time. One group in front of us and we waited on almost every hole.

Pace of Play

This course has done nothing to alleviate the pace of play issue. Course is not worth 80 dollars to spend 5 hours to play golf. Pay a little more and go somewhere else. Greens are mediocre at best and fairways are bare. Had multiple bad/barren lies from the fairway. #9 green was littered with debris from the tree next to it. Tee boxes are barren and filled with divots. Overall not a great golf experience.

Nice track

Pretty nice condition with some really interesting holes. Everything was green and well kept with closely mown boxes and fairways. Greens were in really good shape but a little on the slow side, around 7 speed. Really good value for this area. Highly recommended.

Golf review

Tight course and small greens. Corse was in great condition. It was wet and tight lies. Only negative is when you leave clubhouse you don’t see it again until done. Half way house was closed and beer cart didn’t come until 15 hole.
