University Lake

A really nice course. The forecast was for rain so there must have been loads of cancellations and we were able to get out by ourselves. The staff were super helpful and friendly. Conditions were great if a little soggy from the downpour the day before. The course is as long as you want it to be with lots of tee options. There is a lot of water and sand but the sand is perfect Florida sand that is well taken care of. Would love to play again. Ill try to this weekend.

very well maintained

Probably the best public course within the area. What makes this course great isn’t necessarily the layout but how well they maintain it. Great conditions and practice area. Pace of play was just ok however, as many holes were cart path only.

Loved it

First time playing, course was in great shape with an entertaining layout. Greens were great, medium speed with no issues.

Staff was very friendly. They clearly run a tight ship here. Very satisfied.

One of the best

Awesome course absolutely enjoyed this only problem we were unfortunate to have a husband and wife ahead of us who thought it a good idea to coach his wife while we were all standing and waiting behind

As far as golf goes fantastic challenge really need to know where to place your shots or trouble will find you single figure handicap shouldn’t play less than blue

Great First Round

The course in phenomenal shape. A tad slow on the front 9, but seemed to split tee times up between the other two courses on the back which sped up play significantly. Will certainly come back for more rounds in the future.
