Not worth it anymore

This place has gone down hill. Used to love playing this course but over the past year it has gone down hill. Pace of play is absolutely terrible. The ranger(s) don’t do anything to help move things a long. You’ll find them camped out by a restroom playing on their phone. The starter is a kid on a power trip who always has an attitude. The guy at the counter and cart girl are probably the only good things this place has going for it. The owner has started to let this place go and that’s evident. I can’t justify playing here anymore when it takes close to 5.5 hours for two people to finish a round.

Horrible pace

Typically I'm not bothered by a slower pace of play..but this course is always overbooked so you end up with 2 or more groups at every T box. It's so slow it ruins your game. 5 1/2 hours for a round of golf just ruins it.

Great course

Another great round at this course. In good shape and the value is fantastic. The only negative is on Mondays the range closes at 2 for a clinic. Wish that was posted somewhere because I couldn’t hit a few balls before playing

Good course, but already starting to get very crowded. Pace of play was just a little slower, but with a full tee sheet it was to be expected.

Fun Layout. Extend cart geofencing

Course is in great shape post hurricane Milton. Staff is always friendly. Good value for the price. Not sure if the ranger was having a bad day but his attitude was poor, pace of play was 7-14 min behind. But he felt the need to blame our group. We were paired with a kid and his aunt so we were a little slow but we’re playing ready golf and we always saw the group ahead of us and behind whenever we were on the tee or the green. Only suggestion would be to extend some geofence on the carts, lots of areas in play that you can’t get to via cart and it’s added frustration only because it’s excessive
