Great Place to play
I enjoyed the round.The course is in good shape and play moved along well. I look forward to playing Apollo beach again.
Course is beautiful
My son and I had a great experience playing your course. Your staff is are all very friendly and they make you feel at home. Greens were smooth with the exception of a couple of holes. Staff assured me they would be fixed this summer. Fairways and tee boxes were awesome. Thank you from both my son and I.
Hi "EarlTucker" Thank you so much for the excellent review. We are so pleased that you and your son had a great time today. We will definitely pass along the kind remarks of the course and staff. Thanks and hope to see you back out on the course in the near future.
Robert Trent Jones Sr. is spinning in his grave
I imagine this was once a really nice course. I got a good hotdeal (less than $20 in season) and wanted to try the only Robert Trent Jones design in west Florida...I was sadly disappointed. It is a very nice lay out with a mix of easy and challenging shots. Lots of water and some rather narrow fairways. The greens were not the worst I've ever seen, but certainly not good. This course is in desperate need of some intensive maintenance. The fairways are just terrible with some having more dirt and dead bare patches than grass. The rough is a mix of weeds and bare patches. The tee boxes were not so bad to be fair. The pace of play was excellent. I played by myself and played 2 balls in under 3.5 hours. What a shame, I'm sure this could be a really excellent course with a good deal of TLC. The staff were really nice and accomidating.
We appreciate your honest evaluation of our course and thank you for coming out to play. We can assure you we are constantly working to improve the course conditions and hope you will return to give us another chance!
Yikes
About what I expected for this time of year. Gotta roll the ball in every fairway due to dirt everywhere. Greens were very slow and quite bumpy. Hopefully it gets better in the summer. Will try again.
Thank you for coming out to play and providing feedback! We appreciate your patience as we are working to get the course back into shape and hope to see you back again soon!
Good course
Enjoyed staff, course layout, challenging course.
Hi Lloyd,
Thank you for coming out to play and providing your review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the course and hope to see you back soon!
will be back soon
loved the coarse very nice tee boxes very nice greens very busy right now.everyone very friendly.
We are so glad to hear you loved the course and our staff's friendliness. Looking forward to seeing you back again soon!
Awesome staff
Starter (Keith) kept pace going described course in detail. He was very professional and courteous. Unfortunately, a lot of rain left puddles in fairway and bunkers. Otherwise nice course...bring insect repellent, mosquitos heavy on driving range. Oh, be prepared to drive 5 minutes from club house to driving range.
Thank you so much for coming out to play and providing your feedback! We hope to see you back again soon on a better weather day!
TLC for sure
The fairways were in need of TLC and the bunkers were hardpan and not very well maintained. The layout is nice but again needs either different management or more staff to keep the bunkers and fairways in shape. Greens for the most part were okay.
Hi "uANCZ1097AN" Thank you for your review, with the extensive rain that we have endured many of the bunkers have taken the brunt of mother nature. We appreciate your patience as we are working to get the course back into shape!
Very Friendly people and staff.
My wife and I are in our 87 & 83 rd year. So we found the course a bit long. We had no trouble with the water hazards, but we hit pretty straight down the middle shots. Par 5's are a little to much for us, but we do play boggie golf. We are more suited to an executive course than a regular golf course. The weather was cool but we wore jackets and were quite comfortable. The staff were friendly wouldn't hesitate to go back. the bunkers could use some work. Enjoyed our selves No one behind or infront of us.
Hi "BillTrent" Thank you so much for the great review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your round today with your wife. The course can be challenging if you do not bring your A game, but its nice to hear that you had fun. Please come back and visit us again on your next trip from Canada.
Always fun
Have been playing here frequently the past 6 months. Course is a great value and always fun to play. The greens have developed some problems and there are dead spots on most of the greens. Fortunately the greens are so large that they really did not cause much problem. Fairways were not overseeded and are in average condition with some areas of sparse grass. This really is a great layout for all skill levels. A classic Donald Ross design.
Thank you for your review of our course, and we are glad you have fun playing Apollo Beach! We hope to keep seeing you over the next 6 months and beyond!
weekend golfers be warned
No pace of play enforcement at all. Round takes over 4 hrs. Hackers and leagues with no Rangers to enforce pace of play. Greens were fair but fairways are hacked away with divots. Bring range finders cuz most yardage markers are missing or weathered away. Load up before or at the turn cuz there is also NO cart girls or halfway houses.
Thank you for your review of the course, Brian, as we are sure many golfers will appreciate your advice. We apologize that you seem to have caught us on a busy day, but we hope that the overall value of the course made your round enjoyable.
Enjoyable course
The course was in pretty good shape and the green were in good shape. They were true and quick. I will be back shortly to play this course again.
We're glad to hear you enjoy the course and found the conditions suitable for your round. We look forward to your quick return to play with us at Apollo Beach!
Great bang for your buck
This was a fun course to play. The fairways have some dry/dead areas and some of the greens were damaged
We were behind a tournement so we expected to be out there linger. We finished around 4.5 hours with a break at the turn
We got a rate of 16 buck a player with cart. I feel this was a great price for a fun day
Thanks for coming out and we're glad you had fun vzacchei! We are working on our conditions constantly to make sure they are the best they can be and make for an enjoyable golf experience. We hope to see you out again soon!
Great Day Out
Very comfortable course with a great layout. Fairways are generally open, so if you hit straight it is not a problem to get a good score. Will play it again.
We are glad to hear you enjoyed the course, llaczko. We look forward to having you back again soon!
very inexpensive to play golf
The course, other than water hazards, is not challenging. Greens and fairways are in good shape. Very little break on greens and the breaks are so small that they are hard to read. People are very friendly and make you wish to return.
Thank you for your kind words on the condition of the course! The staff is appreciative of your kind words, and we try to provide a quality golf experience for golfers of all skill level. Hopefully you will join us again soon!
great layout
The course is in very good shape, the fairways have grown in nicely and the greens are smooth and decently fast.pace of play was good 4hr. round. Will be back.
We are very glad to hear you enjoyed the condition of our course and the pace of play. We can't wait to have you back!
Good Value
Best conditions I've seen here in 15 years, but some bare areas in fairways and greens, but not bad. Rough was about 4 inches and wiry, so that was the toughest hazard. Uncrowded, quiet, scenic, very friendly.
We appreciate your honest evaluation of our course, ndflamer! We are working each day to improve our conditions, but we are glad you were still able to enjoy your round. Come back and see us soon!
Slow play today
Held up by 2 woman that were never ready to hit
They would wait till the players ahead of them moved forward and then and only then would they get out or their cart
We're sorry your experience was hindered by slow play. We hope you will give us another try, as pace of play is not always an issue at Apollo Beach! We hope the rest of your round was enjoyable.
Better than I expected
After reading the horrible reviews I went expecting the worst. It wasn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be. The fairways are in bad shape, but if you don't mind rolling the ball a bit it's not that big of a deal. Greens were great. I'm just returning to the game, so it was perfect for what I was looking for. Not crowded and very inexpensive. Holes have nice variety.
We're glad you enjoyed your round with us bwhaggbloom! We are working hard to make sure our conditions are tip-top for in season play, and we hope you'll keep coming out to see us!
Good layout but poor maintenance
The course has a great layout and is perfectly located. the staff is very friendly and helpful. The greens are in good shape however, the fairways are less than desirable with a few holes just terrible. The fairways are more than half weeds, not grass. If you don't mind moving the ball around the weeds and dirt you can enjoy better play. The greens are the best feature. Large and usually firm, but on the slow side. Landscape could use a lot of help. If it is not raining, this course get little or no watering.
Hi "BobJewell" Thank you for the great review. We are so glad the pace of play was up to par for you. Can't wait to see you back out on the course soon. Thanks MGT
