Harmony Golf Preserve

The course layout is interesting and challenging. Fairway were some of the poorer ones i have played in past months. Lots of crabgrass Bermuda and St. Augustine and some weeds were the in the majority of fairways. Most of the greens were in good condition.

Overall the course was in good condition , tee boxes need help covered in weeds which they seem to let fill in so you have something to hit off .
Fairways somewhat the same , greens in good shape still need a little help time for the annual punch . Love the layout of this course but the pricing needs to start reflecting the course … it is not Country Club caliber by no stretch and yet they consistently charge premium price also no place for food or a nice drink after round as they cannot keep anyone due to wanting more $$ for the lease on the building .
SAD REALLY AS THIS COULD BE A PREMIUM LOCATION FOR GOLF IF YHEY WOULD STOP BEING SO GREEDY .

First the positives:
--Layout still one of the best in Central FL. Fantastic.;
--Serene and peaceful - not many homes on the course, lots of wildlife around and just a great place to play
--Greens rolled good and true for the most part.
--Nobody out there so great pace of play
Not so good:
--Fairways and rough not as they should be. LOTS of crabgrass
--Lots of bugs/flying insects. And I played midday, I cannot imagine what it would be like in the afternoon/evening.
Overall worth it for the right price. Would be one of the best courses around if they landscaped better and the fairways/rough were up to par

What the heck happened to this place?? Tee boxes, really bad, fairways not very good, putting surfaces just okay. The rough is 16” tall and the area is filled with mosquitoes. Either they have given up on maintenance or don’t care. I assume someone is milking it for everything it’s worth and sell to a development company is just around the corner. This used to be a really great course. Somebody should be ashamed of themselves or speak up regarding what the real issues is. Golf Now should we a higher standard…..

This is the second time I've played here, and both times I've ended up playing most of the round as a single. The starter seems to let folks out as they check in, regardless of tee times and makes no effort to create the groups people signed up for. I was supposed to be the fourth for a group. I couldn't find my group, and the starter wasn't helping. A little before my tee time I saw a two headed for the 1st tee, and since I had been told my group was a 2 some, and two singles (including me) I headed over behind them. I asked if they were the 11 am group and they just said the starter sent them out early. It was a husband and wife. They suggested I play as a single, so off I went.

Pace of play was great, I finished the front 9 in 1:10. On the back I ran into two groups one backed up by the other. Both foursomes. I talked the second group into letting me play with them, and we kept pace with the group in front.

With all the damp from the recent hurricane the mosquitos were fierce if you got into the rough, but the course was in good shape with few really damp areas you had to avoid with the carts.

Finished the round and decided to visit the restaurant (which I had been to a couple of times before), only to find out they had closed a couple of months ago.

They were the only restaurant/grill on the property

Overall course conditions are improving. Still a few rough areas in parts but did not affect overall experience. Greens were solid

Had 2 tee times 8 players 1 was sick so i had 7 players told them in club house 1 out sick he said no problem, but got charged extra player to my card ,try to talk to pro shop and golfnow they kept referring me back in forth ,never had that happen before

The course was in horrible condition. Greens in bad shape and a player checking people in because staff didn’t show up to work.

Greens are bad. Slow with tons of weed/crab grass patches all over. Patches as big as 8’x10’ of dead grass or plain dirt no grass. Tee boxes are covered in crab grass. Fairways were ok.

Just sad to see the course keep going in the wrong direction. I got a hot deal for $35, so for the price the value is there I suppose. Played in 3 hours, can’t complain there.

I have played here once before. I live in the area. When I played the first time, I thought I found a hidden gem. The conditions were great and overall it was a great day. I played there last Sunday, the conditions were far different from the previous time I played.

The best thing the course had going was the roll on the greens. They were very true when it comes to actually putting. They were EXTREMELY soft though. Multiple approach shots were plugged into the green halfway down the ball. When I went to repair the ball mark, I ended up doing more damage to the green as it just peeled up surrounding areas so easily.

The fairways were so bad. There were some spots that were ok, but it looks like they stopped taking care of them entirely. Burnt, bare, dirt everywhere, very bad.

The tee boxes were some of the worst I've ever seen. Weeds everywhere, bare spots, not cut, etc.

I am not sure if management was changed or the community cut their budget on golf course maintenance, but there was a CLEAR difference in the conditions over about a years time.

I will come back, but will make sure to read reviews before going.

the greens were great but fairways need work theres no ice except in the pro shop no gps in the carts.the only water on the course was in the bathrooms

Honestly, this course holds a special place in my heart. During COVID it was one of the only bastions of normalcy my friends and I ever had.

Unfortunately after the pandemic subsided so did the conditions of the course. We waited for years and finally the reviews indicated it was back in shape.

This course has the potential of being one of the premier public courses in central Florida. Unfortunately, the current management has neglected the potential.

The reason for me to be compelled to write a negative review is due to the following:

1- poor & negative service. We entered the golf course to realize that the restaurant and bar is currently closed. Additionally, the club does not offer its guest fresh water. Only ice and tap from the public restrooms… gross.

2- Poor Tee boxes- they are uneven, and bare.

3. Fairways are dry, lacks grass, & dollarweed and clover has taken over.

4. Greens- although they are lush, they were very soft. Balls were inbedded almost every approach shot.

5. Value- they are charging a premium considering the conditions of the course and time of year.

For a golfer looking to travel more than 25 minutes to play a round I would avoid this completely.

Swing em straight.

The greens are in great shape however the fairways tend to have weeds in the summer due to the rules on chemical use in the wildlife areas. Still challenging and fun to play.

Always a good experience at Harmony Golf Preserve. Awesome layout, good conditions; would be excellent minus a few bald spots in a fairway or two, pace of play outstanding, great scenery and calming and serene environment Management here knows how to run a golf course. No need for excess personnel roaming about.

Played on 7/9 and course conditions were awful the fairways were over taken by crab grass. You bomb one down the middle and you’re rewarded by awful lies and weeds. The rough while it’s supose to be rough should be at least trimmed occasionally. Shame what happened to this beautiful course!!

I love this course and as a novice it provides more than enough challenges but enough space for me to work on my game. The only “need” is for new restauranteur to lease the tavern space and open the bar :)
