Great greens and great pace of play

Played as a single following a 4 some which would usually be a nightmare. It wasn’t. Waited on shots of course but played in under 4 hours.

Open layout with big targets. Great par 3’s. Greens are excellent. Bunkers as well. Front is a little plain but back 9 is very good.

Pro shop reception from Chris was excellent.

Clubhouse staff very good. Hopefully I will be back next week.

Great Course

My son and I decided to try a new course on GolfNow and it was fantastic! It will absolutely remain on our list for future rounds even an hour drive from southern side of Jacksonville.

Conditions were perfect and the wind made the course challenging. The night prior brought a significant amount of rain, but the course handled it well. Play was cart path only, but really didn't need to play the ball up.

A true gem!

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in excellent shape, especially given the wintry conditions this time of year. Pace was a little slower, but was given the heads up by the golf shop beforehand. Also, this was a Saturday and some of the best weather in a while so it was expected. If you’re around or passing through, definitely worth stopping by.
