Disappointed

We have come to the area annually and sometimes twice per year over the past 5 years or so. We've always felt this course provided really good value, even though it is an hour's drive from where we stay in Orlando. This year was different. Although most of the course is ok (average green conditions, good fairways (not great)), there is one green that is virtually unplayable and another hole where a temporary green is in play due to a new wall construction project.

We had scheduled to play the course twice over the past few days and did so. However, with present conditions, we probably wouldn't reschedule now. Hopefully, things will improve.

You need to be able to place your shots

This was a very interesting course to play albeit a little bit above my skill level. Water on most holes and hazards requires a solid ability to place your shots. If you don’t, you’ll pay for it with either a stoke lost or a ball and stroke lost!

I’d recommend it for golfers that are at or near single digit handicap

DICC

Course fairways and most greens were in great shape. There are a few greens that are still recovering. Sand traps were well maintained. A couple of the tee boxes were covered in divots making it a challenge to get a balanced stance. More weeds were noticeable in the rough than a few months ago. Hole #13 is still under repair.

Hidden Gem- bring extra balls

Great course. Lots of water. Good condition for the most part. One temporary green on 13… not ideal but they are almost done with the improvements.

Not as good as before

We played there yesterday and have played it a couple of times each time we visit the area, annually. Course conditions have definitely deteriorated in places.
