I understand, high season in Florida. But for that price and the experience, I cannot recommend this course to anyone.

During winter months this is a safe bet. If you book without having to play the north course even better.

Played here last 6 years. Play at least 3 times in 2 weeks we are in Bonita Springs

Liked the course but the day we played it was 35 mph winds all day long. That was not fun. Hard to judge club selection. Wind direction was not consistent. Such is golf

Sometimes an average choice is better than no choice

Public course decent shape was a fun round, north course is tricky

Exceptionally friendly Staff. John (starter), Phyllis (golf shop), cart attendants and wait staff in pub stood out. Pub food simple but very good. Enjoyed BLT, wings and the house made chips we're excellent. Practice facility ok, hit off mats which was just ok, but not as good as a turf driving range. Course was packed but pace of play was nice finished in 4 hours 30 minutes moving steadily. Course was a fun layout nice difference in teeing areas from senior ladies all the way back to the pro tips. Greens were receptive and moderate speed. Tight driving on some holes otherwise room to spray it around a little bit. A few side-by-side holes might bring another golfer onto your fairway. I thought price was a little bit steep so I only give it an "ok" for value, but we played in peak season so to be expected. Overall a nice experience. Recommended but "value" just fair. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
