Nice course but overpriced

good condition, enjoyable course, good pace of play in November, but should not be priced at $100. Range at low density balls and mats, which was very disappointing for the price.

Golf Cart GPS

Love the course which is in wonderful condition! Never saw a cart snack person all day and the GPS continues to be a problem! It locks up the cart even when your on the cart path!

Never disappoints

UPCC never disappoints. From the moment I pulled into the parking area I was greeted with friendly and helpful staff. The cart guy was ready as soon as I got out of my car and had me loaded up and on my way to check in . Pro shop folks were so friendly and got me checked in a matter of minutes and then I was off to see the starter and hit some range balls. Tee time was 1:44 and starter got me out about 15 minutes early. Course conditions were the best I’ve played in the area (I’m a member at Legacy GC Lakewood Ranch). Played in 3.5 hours. Just wish the kitchen didn’t close at 5:00 on Sundays. Wanted to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat outside after the round. Will be back again soon.

One of the best in the area

I remember saying to a friend. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this course. Tees and greens are perfect. Great character with different layouts. Can't wait to play again.
