1st Experience

Course was very well managed and fairways pristine. Greens were similar from green to green as far as speed and reading, although in my opinion the holes were broken as I did not sink any! Starter was polite and jolly, refreshment staff friendly and helpful and cute! Play was awesome, keep ball in play and one could score on this course.

Where do I start?

First of all, the old owners had issues with mud and rain which was tolerable. The new owners have fixed that but the carts are horrendous. They all suck and die on the course because they’re not maintained. Secondly……the ranger is useless, he does nothing for rate of play and just drives around with a cigar in his mouth. Overly booked and no control over groups that are acting like they’re playing for millions taking 10 minutes per shot. Usually a 3 hour round here and it was 5 hours. Unacceptable. Will not be coming back and I was an avid Hernando Oaks golfer for years.

Management a mess

Manager did not show up. Tee times 1.5 HOURS behind schedule. Had guys going off back and front without checking in. Total disaster at the turns. Fairways poor. Greens are really coming in nice though! Tee boxes are the worst I’ve seen, just awful. It’s clearly a management issue and without addressing soon, they will lose players and money. In addition, can’t even get a cup of coffee until 9 AM, opens too late. Especially for summer tee times.

Greens were in great condition and rolled true. Fairways should be watered more often and possibly consider letting grass grow longer so they sun doesn’t bake them. Overall a great layout and fun course to play from the Blue tees.

Best course layout around

Teed off 11:52, no one in front, 2 of us played thru lickidy split until #8 then we caught up to 4 geezers who never used the words " course etiquette", they refused to let us play thru, a Marshall pulled up next to us & we explained the situation & he saw that no one was in front of them & it was really backing up behind us & he did nothing about it, never said a word to these guys. Aside from the useless Marshall the course is great, the recent aeration healed up nicely, greens lovely, ball rolled nice, greens held like darts, some t boxes were devoid a grass & hard but zero rain will do that. A 3.5 hr round turned into a 5 hr round thanks to people without course etiquette otherwise a beautiful day

Great course but greens had been aerated

Wish there was a way to notify people before making a tee time that the course had been aerated a couple of weeks prior. I love the layout and the greens weren't too bad but...

Improved Conditions but Pace was brutal

Greens were in really good shape after being aerated. A few questionable spots but overall really good. Bunkers were vastly improved. Fairways were still fine although very brown. A couple of tees were tough to get the leg in, but overall course conditions. With lack of rain, we’re very good. Pace of place was awful. 4.75 hrs to play at 7:30 am was ludicrous. Number 1 issue at Hernando is pace of play. Ranger needs to ensure faster pace.

120 yards of rollout

Considering that it hasn’t rained since Thanksgiving 😁 the greens were in decent shape but the fairways and tee boxes were as hard as I-75

Great layout

Great course layout, player friendly, generous fairways, finally found a course with grass on the fairways, some tee boxes were a little barron of grass & a little hard to get the Tee in but we haven't had rain in quite some time. Greens were aerated & filled with sand but the greens still putted well & the balls stuck like a dart on approach. Carts were old BUT they ran on gas so that wasn't a problem at all. We teed off at 11:45 & zoomed around at a very nice pace. This is my new favorite course hands down for the money..☆☆☆☆☆

Course conditions were good considering how dry it has been. Better than most other courses in the area. Greens had been aerated recently but were ok. A little slow. Bunkers were just dry dirt.
