Great conditions but some bad hole layouts

Great course conditions and good layout, but a few really bad holes (hole 4) . Some very narrow holes with no landing area and very penal for otherwise good shots. If you go off the fairway, palmetto bushes are unplayable. Interesting layout, but on a few holes good shots are punished because of hole designs

Wow

Played a few years ago when it was raptor bay and wow they did an amazing job with the course. New layout and it’s amazing. Greens were hard and fast. Fairways and tees were A+. I played from the back tees and boy it plays tough from 7100. Absolutely worth the money. Will be back

Back 9 is great

Interesting flat course with no bunkers only waste areas. Slope rating seems a bit under rated.

Wide fairways with little real trouble.

Beautiful scenery along fairways and greens. Starter was especially helpful.

New & True

This course is only a year old. Used to be Raptor Bay. However the fairways and greens ran true. It is an upscale atmosphere with upscale living going in near by. There are some visually challenging tee shots and we played the black/blue which had plenty of length. The wind made some holes very tough. Not for the beginner. Staff across the board were all friendly and attentive. Best part we started and 1 and finished at 4 . Didn’t.get paired with anyone nor was it just. Maybe people just have heard of it yet. Got the realtime and a great value. Golf carts are the comfiest I’ve ever sat it. You’ll enjoy yourself here.

Gotta play it

We had a beautiful day for Golf and the course was perfect. The layout is picturesque, challenging holes, and elevated greens requires some thought to proper club selection. Multiple tee boxes and combos give you a wide choice to meet your game. The Pro gave us some very good tips prior to play.

Will return for sure.
