Excellent Course

Great Layout and the course is challenging but offers a excellent round. It’s a newer course so some areas are still being perfected. It’s a great opportunity to visit now because I’m sure this course will be very busy in the high season in Naples.

Nice course but not memorable.

Enjoyable quick round! As a twosome completed 18 holes in about 2:45. Course in great shape, specially less than a week after tropical storm. Very large true rolling greens. Wide fairways. Forgiving course for average players. Course meanders through preserve rather than housing developments which is a huge plus. No unique or outstanding signature holes so not very memorable. Played off season in August through Golf Now for $75 which is reasonable but was told in season was $275! That’s just nuts!
