Golfer Reviews
Great course and staff!
All around great course and staff. A few greens need a little work but still much better than others I've played on.
Good value
The course from tee to green was fine. A few of the greens are in poor shape, but #7 green, historically a problem, looked good. But hey- we're amateurs so who cares. If you're picky about course conditions, then spend a fortune and join a private country club. If you just want a fun day out on the golf course for 40 bucks, Cimarrone provides it.
Turning things around
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The fairways and tee boxes were in very good condition. The greens were in poor condition and were very slow but they should be better in a few months.
Greens like fairways
Course was in great shape. Fun layout. Fairways were in amazing shape but the greens rolled like the fairways.
If the greens were faster this place would be a no brainer
Played on a Friday morning and the greens were pretty slow. Not sure if that is normal or just an unfavorable mowing schedule.
The course recently stopped allowing carts in the parking lot and the older attendant outside could not have been more rude letting everyone know.
Otherwise it was a great day to play!
Fun and challenging course
Played this course for the first time and enjoyed it. Great layout , water almost on very hole so the course will challenge you to pick your spots and shots. The only recommendations is for bottled water to be provided on the course would be nice. Would definitely play this course again.
If you have not played Cimarrone…..
you need to play it! Other than the slow greens it is a very good test of golf, and a very challenging layout at a very fair price!
Getting better but still a long way to go
This course was somewhat recently sold. The new ownership has done a fantastic job of making some much needed renovations and improvements. That said, there's still a lot that needs attention. Most importantly, several (most) of the greens are in really bad shape (especially on the back 9). Several had what looked like very poorly laid patches of sod. This definitely affects approach shots and putts. Some of the tee boxes were also a bit chewed up. Overall this course is in much better shape than a year ago, but it is frustrating to pay top dollar for a course with some of the ongoing maintenance issues that have yet to be rectified. Other courses in the area have also gone through simialrly extensive renovations and are not in the same state as Cimarrone. We are blessed with plenty of courses in this area. It's hard to justify paying the same or more to play here when the course is in the shape its in. Also, since the new ownership has taken over it has become very unfriendly for singles. I used to play here after work or if I saw some open time on a weekend afternoon. Now, you can't book as a single on GolfNow and the club house staff aren't too happy when a single calls or shows up. Again, there's plenty of alternatives nearby that don't do this. It's just unfortunate because I absolutely love this course/layout. Hopefully one day soon it will be all straightened out.
Great Course
Beautiful course, plays quickly and has a number of challenging holes. Fairways and tee boxes very nice. 8 of the greens had been damaged by fungus and had repair areas and pretty heavy sand. Once the repairs are completed this is a beautiful, fun course to play with a great clubhouse and staff.
Greatly improved
New owner really making this course one of my favorites. Greens much improved in the past year. Everything mowed to perfection. The clubhouse and restaurant have been remodeled and the staff is very efficient. This course is a great "sleeper" in St Johns county.
I wholeheartedly agree! I played there yesterday. The tees, the fairways the sand traps and the clubhouse are all excellent. The greens are still slow due to a number of issues, such as the torrid summer heat and humidity that all golf courses in Florida are challenged by. There are other issues that the new ownership has recently identified. There is a plan in place to correct those issues in the coming weeks. Cimarrone deserves more than 3 1/2 stars. I think it will exceed that in the coming months. I will keep you posted as I play there often.
Total BS! I have never had an issue booking a teetime there as a single. I play there weekly as a single. I call the pro shop, and they are more than happy to accommodate me. There is nothing wrong with any of the tee boxes. Yes, the greens are slow and they are patchy and they are still working on them. The fairways and the sand traps are in very good condition as are the tees As for value , the other “ local “ courses. For example, South Hampton had an $80 Green green fee on Sunday morning between eight and ten . during the week it is sixty five dollars between eight and ten . Saint Johns golf and country club that I played recently was $78 on a weekday morning. Cimarrone’s green fee was $55 this morning.
