We were pleasantly surprised the course was very nice, but it takes getting used to a little bit, not having sand traps. The cart pass are real wide and seashells which you really can’t hit out of or you’re gonna screw up your club. Other than that really like the course.

Friendly staff. Nice bar and staff. Overall above average public golf course. Only criticism is the practice facility doesn’t measure up to the standards of a top notch resort course.

ABSOLUTE MUST PLAY

I’m from Ohio and play a lot of amazing courses, but this one has surpassed all of my expectations! I think my awe all started as I entered the clubhouse. The staff was great, the course was simply put, magical. I’m a 16 handicap and played from white tees and it was challenging, but not impossible to bogey a hole or 7 like me.

Thank you for the awesome experience!

Excellent Course

Pace was a bit slow, but very busy that day-it was a great course overall. Don, one of the marshalls, was very helpful and doing a great job trying to keep things moving.

Troon

This is a Troon course And it shows. Maybe a little overpriced, but not terrible. Honestly, it doesn’t feel right saying that so I take it back. Visually it’s very similar to Tiburon black But it’s at half the price… So there you go. Great course Conditions and great staff and beautiful clubhouse.

Very good course!

i played this course when it was TPC Raptor Bay and played the new layout for the first time. The course is in very good shape, well manicured fairways and greens are in good shape in spite of golfers not fixing their divots which is annoying! My interactions with various staff members were extremely positive! I would definitely play here again.

Hidden Gem

Very nice course! This is a hidden gem in this price range in southwest Florida . Played 18 in 3 hours and 15 minutes. Would recommend, especially if you can get a deal on GN.
