Wow! And Challenging….

First time here and staff and residents friendly, course was in pretty good shape no real issues a couple of greens had some rough patches but overall really good and the layout is challenging. Great job, I didn’t shoot my best so we will be back!

Hidden Gem

Challenging course in great condition. They recommend playing a tee box up from normal and I have to agree. Much more enjoyable, as there’s water on almost every hole but nevertheless a fun course with friendly staff. Will be back!

Favorite Getaway

This is one of my favorite getaway courses outside of Orlando. I love the environment on the island. The course was aerated this week, but was still in better shape than most courses on their best days,

Beautiful course

Hubby and I really enjoyed this course and will definitely play here again. Beautiful course and layout. Friendly staff. Starter could've volunteered a little more information-pin placement, etc. Overall a beautiful course.

Slowest greens around

Overall the course is in OK shape. Tee boxes and fairways are like yard grass. Greens were extremely slow, rolling around a 7 or 8. Even with the condition issues it would’ve been ok had I not gotten charged $60 to ride 9 holes. Absolutely not worth the price.
