Golfer Reviews
the challenge of golf
Hernando Oaks Golf course is a beautiful course and very challenging.
I enjoy playing this course and sharing it with my friends.
I would like to see the clubhouse /restaurant finished that would really make this place top notch.
Aeration
Had read the reviews and most commented about how good the greens were....so we got there just 3 days after they aerated and sanded them! I understand that needs to be done, so no complaints, but putting was non existent.
Layout was good, particularly back 9, not a single house on it! Like playing in the wilds of Florida - great.
The ground was very hard even in the fairways. Course looks as though its being operated and cared for on a shoestring budget.
Will probably go back again, but will check first, so I don't get caught on the aeration cycle.
Sorry to hear you got caught right in the middle of the aeration schedule! We know how this can really throw a wrench in the way the course plays, so we'll make sure to make it well publicized the next time we undergo maintenance. Regardless, thanks for coming to play and we hope we get to see you again soon.
Needs Some Work
Over the years have played Hernando Oaks several times. Course seems in trouble again! Played on a Group Golfer $22 rate. It is worth $22 but a penny more. Greens were OK but fairways, tee boxes and traps needs alot of work There are too many other choices in the area to go back
Great course, worth trying if you've never played here
First time playing the course. We all had a great time. The greens were the best I've played in months anywhere else. Kudo's to the superintendent. Nice course layout, challenging and very friendly staff. Will be back.
We're glad you had such a great time! Thanks a million for the wonderful review. We're looking forward to your next visit!
Best Greens I've Played in Florida!
I'm always blown away by the conditions of the greens! Great layout, good pace of play and an excellent value. Need I say more?
This made our day to read! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and kind words with us. Please feel free to come by any time you're in the mood to play.
Hernando worth the drive
Great course. First time playing it and I'll definitely go back! The greens were nice, fast and true. The course is not terribly long and has several doglegs and elevation changes. Similar to Worldwoods but more open. Loved it and will go again.
We're glad to hear you loved the course! Thanks so much for the awesome review. Feel free to come by any time!
Great Golf Experience
I have played this course on numerous occasions . Charlie, the new GM and his staff
have been outstanding . Always a great thank you for playing the course and have a great game. Course conditions have vastly improved from a year ago . I believe these greens are the best in Hernando County. After your round of golf on Friday's, they also have all you can eat fish & chips . Looking forward to returning next year.
Donna , from Ontario, Canada
Thanks so much for this review, Donna! This review absolutely made our day to read, so we appreciate you reaching out to us. Our door's always open for you, so feel free to come by any time!
Greens
These are easily the best greens in Hernando County. The superintendent should be given a raise!!
Wow! That is quite the compliment, Gary! Thanks so much for the kind review. We're glad you had a nice time at the course. Please feel free to come by whenever!
The Greens of Hernando
We arrived just after a heavy rain had gone through, Wasn't to impressed at first until we reached the greens it was just like a green carpet (Beautiful shape).
The fairways could have needed a trimming but all staff had been sent home because of the storm, all in all I thought it was a great course.
Sorry to hear about the fairways! We've made a note on them and will get to the ASAP. Regardless, it's great to hear you enjoyed the course. Feel free to come back and play whenever you like!
Enjoyable time
We booked thru Golf Now and was pleasantly surprised ! Very nice setting and the greens the best I golfed on while down here. The womens tee box does give them shot. Being the last ones out we had a beautiful sunset !! We will be back.
Nice Course, Great Staff
Very accommodating with both a change to a tee time, but also offering us an online rate even though I booked through another site. Club house never finished, presumably a victim of the cash in the late 2008's. However, the course is better then most in Hernando County (and I've played nearly all of them).
You should book a round here and get lunch which is made fresh to order!
Great lay out poor condition
Bunkers were filled with water no grass in fairways and greens were in bad shape. Will not play this course again sorry.
Great Scott!
The staff and course are the best thing going in Hernando county at this time. However golf is more than fairways, bunkers and greens. Last week my shipmate J.B. and I had he most memorable golf outing when we were paired up with "Patrick" a 73 year young lad from Glaskow Scotland. Having crossed the pond on various trips to Holy Lock Scotland it was GREAT sharing golf and life experiences with Pat. There is more to the game than a score.
Fair Winds and Following Seas. Capt. Ray
What a great story! Golf is indeed so much more than a game, and we are so happy to hear about your wonderful experience with Patrick. We hope you will all reunite for another round here in the future!
The course has potential, but needs work.
The course needs serios maintance work!
Couple suggestions, putting real sand in the bunkers would help tremendously instead of trying to hit out of clay! Rough needs to be maintained and Remove the weeds that are on the Greens.
I'm very sorry if you felt you had a bad experience here. Our crew has been working very hard to improve the bunkers - though I'd like to clarify that it’s a brown sand in our bunkers - not white beach sand, and not clay. I played Pebble Beach, and their bunkers have rock in them and I paid $500. All courses have a different design - that’s what makes golf so challenging! As for the greens, there are some weeds in a few places and we can’t kill them yet, as we will be pulling the weeds out of the greens in May. We did treat the greens with a pre-emergence which will help to stop them from spreading. Once again, I’m very sorry that you had a bad experience here . If I can do anything else to help, please call (352) 799-9908 and ask for Charlie Guardino.
Great TIme
The course is in good shape, greens were in great shape. Pace was fast. You have to see it to appreciate it! I would recommend this course. It won't dissapoint.
We're so happy to hear you had a great time at our course! Thanks for leaving us the wonderful feedback about your experience. Hope to see you again soon!
New Improved course
We had not played this course in quite a while because of previous course conditions. What a difference the new management made! This was one of the best courses my foursome has played in some time. Thanks to all the folks at Hernando Oaks for a great golf outing! We'll be back.
We're beyond happy to hear that you enjoyed your first visit back so much. Thanks for giving our course another chance - we can't wait to have you back to play again soon!
Staff and facilities
The staff who met us and Marshall were great and course is a great layout and improving in condition quickly
Traps were inconsistent but assume will get there
Thanks for the feedback about your visit, David! We're happy to hear you enjoyed our course conditions and customer service. We're always working to improve all aspects of our course, so we hope you come back to give it another try soon!
A gem in the rough.
Read some recent negative reviews over the past several months regarding tall grass, weeds and area's needing maintenance. If I may July, August and September accumulated 42" of rain. That's right 3-1/2 FEET of rain, pretty hard to maintain a golf course that's under water. Played yesterday and this course is in better shape than any golf course in Hernando county. New manager is top shelf, 4.0 squared away. All the staff should be commended for the wonderful job they are all doing.
Keep Charging. Capt Ray
Wow - we are beyond pleased to read your wonderful review of our staff and course conditions. Thank you for your continual support! We hope to see you back for another round soon.
Maintenance Required
could be a great track but needs attention , a lot of maintenance needed.
Firstly, we truly appreciate you leaving us this feedback about your recent visit. We're disappointed if you didn't have the best experience possible at our course, and we'll be taking your feedback to heart as we work to continually improve course conditions. Thanks again and we hope you'll give our course another shot soon!
Vast Improvements
Played Hernando Oaks today and it's very clear that the change of managers is producing real results. The course has largely dried out. Greens are good and improving, weeds are being removed from bunkers, fairways (including rough) are being mowed regularly. A pleasure to play. My compliments to the staff on turning things around. While it's clear there is still a ways to go I believe most players would be happy with the new conditions.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback on our course conditions. We're thrilled you've noticed the improvements and we are continually working to make this the best course it can be!
Thanks so much for the great review! This made our day to read. Please feel free to come back when we've finished up work on the clubhouse/restaurant -- you're always welcome here!
