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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
