Won’t need to go back.

The process for integrating 27 holes at this course is vey flawed. We were held for nearly 20 minutes so that groups making the turn could continue their round. The biggest issue is that the group was ready and waiting for 20 minutes before our tee time and there were no groups going off during that time.

Poor treatment of guests.

First Time Playing

Enjoyed my 1st time @ Waterford

First time at the course. Was worried about a full parking lot and line of carts waiting to tee off, but we went off on time and finished in ~ 4 hours.

Played Turnberry to Sawgrass and really enjoyed the layout. Conditions were good, even better in the back 9. Layout was tight and I look forward to trying again next time.

Sawgrass and Gleneagles @ Waterford

Nice enough courses… prefer the Turnberry 9 of the three nine hole courses but Sawgrass and Gleneagles are fine as well… some fun holes… plenty of water and traps. Relatively narrow track but not long from the blue tees (about 6,000 yards I believe). Only knock was the threesome behind us kept telling the marshall we were holding them up. We were a foursome… nobody shot higher than 89… and we played in 4 hours exactly. Granted, we never saw the group ahead of us, even on the starting tee, but we played quickly… the marshall was nice about it but we did feel pressed. We offered to let them play through but he said no as it would only hold up other groups behind them.

This course is absolutely not worth the price you are charging. I’ve played much nicer courses for less money. The cost of range balls is ridiculous as well. Not going back anytime soon

Fair value during high season

The course was in fair condition given the dry weather we are have. It is a good course for the average golfer. The course was busy but we still completed 18 holes in 4-1/2 hours.

Fair To Poor

Course is in fair to poor condition I’m just tired of paying all these high prices for fair to poor conditions so many fairways and tee boxes with absolutely no grass This could be due to no rain but I think it’s poor ownership and management. The cups on the greens are rough around the edges It’s bad enough you pay over $112.00 and then they want$10.00 for a small bucket of balls

Good Public Course

I like playing at this course. Turnberry and Sawgrass are nice. Gleneagles is noisy and distracting because of I-75.

Nice round

Nice course with a good twilight rate. Almost finished 18 holes. Pretty challenging with lots of water and many holes. Would play there again. .
