Hernando Oaks Golf & Country Club

I convinced my group to drive from St Pete to Brooksville to play this course. Everyone was impressed with the layout and we had a great time. The tee boxes could use some work, but everything else was in fantastic shape. The greens are challenging, sectioned, quick and roll true - be careful of the 6 footer coming back. I'd suggest spending some time on the practice green before teeing off. The grill is fairly simple, but the service was quick and the menu was large - offering lots of options for grub. The sandwich my buddy ordered was huge. Driving range available.

Nice layout - no soap and water in ball washers at all. New grass so they watered extensively causing mud areas and tire tracks. Greens are fast and nice. High roughs so its hard to find balls on some holes. Some tee boxes need TLC. I give it a C+ - it's ok.

The greens are the only good thing about the course. The tee boxes look like a driving rand after a tournament. The bunkers are actually water hazards. The fairways are soaked and muddy. They closed the range for maintenance right as I got there and no chipping on the practice green. It's worth about 2/3 of what they are charging. I'll try again next year.

Pros-The greens they hold nice & roll true. Also the layout keeps it interesting & Not a lot of houses close by.

Cons-turf management like most courses in Florida is absolutely hideous & very wet. Inconsistent lies terrible bunkers some dirt some clay, some sand& none raked.

I’m local to the area and Hernando oaks is the nicest public course in brooksville for the money right now. Staff is always amazing, foods good. A little busy but was expected

I have been watching most all the local courses are turning into cow pastures.

However, Hernando Oaks are definitely better!

Sunday afternoon play was a bit slow, still, a nice day to enjoy the sunshine and no humidity!

Overall a very nice course.

Tee boxes 4/10

Greens 9/10

Fairways 8/10

Bunkers 6/10

Fairways and greens in great shape. Tee boxes a little worn out and most bunkers were packed sand. Rough was a little on the deep side as we had trouble finding a few balls in it. All that being said, course overall in great shape, just stay out of rough and bunkers....like your supposed to :). Have played here many times in past and love it. Would recommend to friends as always.

Hadn’t played this course in over 15 years, but on a spur of the moment chance to get out for 9 holes with my son, I thought I’d give it a shot. I checked a lot of recent reviews that said the conditions were very good, and I agree. The course is in very good shape in all the right places. There’s some wear & tear where the cart traffic converges, and some of the shaded tees are a little thin, but the fairways & greens were fantastic. And the layout (front 9) was more interesting than I remembered. I’ll be back next week with my dad to play the full 18!

Really like this course. Actually, an odd thing to comment on, but the rough is excellent. Greens roll fairly true. One of my favorite features of any golf course is undulations in the fairway…adds to the challenge. Play this course frequently. Not a member. Staff could not be friendlier, very welcoming.

out for a longtime injury-played many years love everything from walking in the door of clubhouse- till walking of one of the best 18th finishing holes in the whole area. John Havens

If you want some challenge in you game, then this is the course. Perfect layout. Nice shape, except for some of the tee boxes. They were in pretty bad shape.

Always enjoy playing this course.

Fairways and greens getting better.

Traps are awful; some nearly unplayable.

They have been a problem since I first played the course 20 years ago.

Will always be a detriment to course enjoyment.

Too bad; it is a great layout.

I've played this course many times in the past and it has been in somewhat decent shape. This last time though the course was in terrible shape. It definately looks as though routine maintenance is being neglected. The fairways were not mowed and you could easily lose your ball in the fairway. The rough was ankle deep grass. Some of the greens were like putting off of gravel. The quarry holes were great though - thats about it. Until management starts to maintain the course a little better I would not recommend this course to anyone. At least mow the fairways and the experience could have been much better. Sad to say. The layout is good though.

Fairways are in great shape greens are almost recovered from being aerated. But the rough just off the fairways are just to high. and to much grass clipping not cleaned up.
