Nice course too bad they can’t manage it better

I should have known that with less than 10 minute tee times that it would be a slow round but too find the two groups in from of us as a 5 and then a 2 it was extra frustrating. It seems like they could afford to invest in a ranger. The cart messages saying that your a getting further and further off the pace when you are right on the tail of the group on front is just insulting and frustrating. Maybe if they had someone on the course managing things it would be better. I. The end we had to drive in from the 16th tee to meet their cart return policy and that was 5 hours after start.

On the positive side, I like the course and it is in better shape than many of the Golf Now options. Also for the first time I actually saw a beverage cart out on the course.

Great place, in great condition. Disappointed that two players were able to jump in front of our foursome on the 5th hole which slowed our pace down.

Other than that, it was great and we will return.

Courses is in excellent condition

The course is in great condition. The pro shop was being renovated. It was very busy but the starter was on point putting together foursomes and getting people out in a timely manner.

IMG Review

I had somewhat high expectations for this course, based on the price , talk about this location and knowing that multiple LPGA players have trained and practice here. The course did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and helpful in getting me to the first tee, which is surrounded by various practice/warm up spaces( including a small driving range, chipping/pitching area, and sizable putting green. Tee boxes, fairways, and green complexes were all in great shape. The course is relatively forgiving off the tee, is well bunkered, and has enough water to be challenging. Pin positions on the par 3s were tucked close to the edge and took advantage of the wind to make it hard to get close without an aggressive shot to the target. Enjoyed and will return with troops in tow.

For 100$ you should get better

Course is absolutely terrible. There are much better options around this price point and you will only be disappointed if you spend a beautiful day wasted at IMG golf course. Yhe grass will be soaking wet whether you are in the fairway or rough because of drainage problems. You will have more fun staying at home than playing here.

great track

The course is in very good shape and is very green. Pace of play could have been better and the screen telling you that you are behind pace as you wait on each hole is annoying. Other than that it was a good day and would recommend.

Best conditions in several years

Took 4 hr and 45 minutes. Group in front was two holes behind group in front of them. A ranger would have been great.
