Been coming here for years and it has gotten a bit shabby and run down

Pace of play was horrendous

Really impressed

We we’re running late because of traffic we called ahead they were respectful but we ended making just in time we were partners with a great couple from Detroit and we had a great round on a beautiful day. The help with setting up your cart and preparing us for a round were fantastic. Everyone was wonderful we were impressed by coolers on carts the plush seats the GPS. Just fantastic. Can’t wIt to come back.

Disney at last!

Finally got to play a Disney course without the double whammy of "paying through the nose" and suffering an emotional "broken nose" from a very difficult course. I had fun and actually I am quite happy with a 93!
