The layout is pretty nice. They need to really work on the grass conditions - - the tee boxes are chewed up, the fairways are improving but still have a lot of weedy spots, and the greens were not that tight so they were slow.

Good greens

Course is making improvements with cart paths and greens are in good shape. Fairways not up to par due to extended drought in central Florida. Many narrow, tree lined fairways so take extra balls.

Not worth the money.

A majority of the fairways are in terrible shape and have you hitting off of hard dirty right in the middle of the fairway.

Fairways are narrow. Greens are very good. Fairways need work.

They're trying

I've played this course a few times over the past 3 years. The price we paid was a "Hot Deal" which is worth it but I wouldn't play it again this year without the deal.

The good: The greens are in much better shape than they have been in the past. They were sanded which slowed the pace but were smooth and rolled fairly true. The pace of play was great. Played in 3 1/2 hours. Tees were in fair shape.

The bad: Fairways are dirt. Every once in a while you might find a tuff of grass but not often. The day we played they were punching the fairways. They didn't tells us that when we checked in. I would have expected te be told that before we payed on a good course but with nothing but dirt for fairways I guess they didn't think it would make a difference which in all honestly it didn't. At least they seem to be trying which is a big improvement fron the last couple of years.

Challenging

I am happy this course is available to the public. I play here a couple times per month and always enjoy my round. The greens are very nice presently. Some fairways are narrow which is a challenge for me as I spray the ball off the tee. The on site restaurant is very convenient with good food. Overall a nice course and pleasant experience. I recommend!
