Piece of golf heaven

Course was in near perfect shape. Easily the best near the FL/GA state line. Staff is extremely friendly, from the starter to the restaurant crew (be sure to grab a bacon, egg and cheese!). Highly recommended even this late in the year as it neatly maintained.

Perfect greens

This course has excellent greens and fairways

$75 and you get slow greens and slow play

Extremely disappointed after paying $75 and the greens were so slow that putting on uncut St. Augustine would be a better faster option. Also, 2 slow groups of threesomes in front of us would not let us play through. We called and complained and they said they would take care of it and we could go through which never happened. Over 4.5 hours for a round which is unacceptable for a Friday afternoon.

We hear you!! We strive to keep our members and guests happy and provide the value they expect. We also continue to work hard to improve in our monitoring of pace of play. Looks like we missed it this time. We also should have communicated the young overseeded greens and the slower speeds this close to overseeding. We are disappointed we didn’t meet your expectations! Thanks for your feedback as it helps us to continue to improve in our operation. Please come back and see us!!
