Nice course , terrible cart paths.

Course layout nice, staff very friendly, pace of play excellent and cost very reasonable. The two negatives are the cart paths which made driving on them feel like you would need a chiropractor after the round and the gas carts which I’m not a big fan .

Course conditions good. Overall I’d recommend the course especially if they could do something with the cart paths.

Great little course

Other than the cart paths, the course is in very good shape for the price. It’s a central meeting point for my son coming from UCF, myself coming from Jacksonville, and a buddy coming from Titusville.

Top 3 for me

Every course in town is crowded so a 5 hr round is not surprising. Greens a little bumpy due to recent rain and a lot of play. The locals hitting from the red tees with 200 yards left to the green can go ahead and hit!

Snails pace

The course is in fairly good shape. If you have all day to kill time then you wouldn’t have a problem playing the course. It took over 3hrs to play 9 holes. There is NO ranger to move players along. The course needs to look at NOT booking tee times so close.

Poor Service

Went to starter (around 10:30AM) to ask about pace of play because the course was obviously packed, however he was too busy counting his tips. Finally , he stated he couldn't contact ranger to check on the pace of play, but if you want to play fast, he plays a 7AM. This behavior was very disturbing so my twosome left.

Been better

Poor condition overall. Tee boxes with little grass. Ironically, grass two inches high in the middle of some of the fairway bunkers. No sand in most bunkers, hardpan underneath. Greens were average for this time of year Five hour round. Weather was the only plus for the day. Won’t be going back for awhile

Nice Course

The day was perfect weather and the course was in great condition. If you want a challenge for target golf, this course is it. Golf cart pathways could use a lot of fixing up as a lot of dangerous spots but outside of that this course is a must to play.

Overall an enjoyable day at the course; Pace of play was slow, but it's February and thats usually the way it is anyplace around here. The greens were a little sparse but playable. Fairways and tee boxes in good condition. Nice layout
