Enjoyed the course

First you need to pay attention getting to the course The GPS doesn’t get you to the course. However, that said, when I got there, the staff were very courteous. Very helpful. The green fees include the driving range. The course is in good condition and the greens are in great shape. Bunkers have enough sand in them. You’re not hitting in clay. The course has a good layout and is a good test. I will definitely be going back. It is good value for the money.

The course and staff

The course was in great shape and played awesome as usual. The only exception was the cashier. We had one player not show up because of his autistic child having a bad night and mourning. The cashier got a little snotty and said that they have a strict no show policy and that he was going to have to charge for the player anyway. When he was told why, he made it sound like he was doing us a favor but it better not happen again. Then the group in front of us was slower than molasses (2 to 3 holes in front of them were empty/already played by others.

Erratic pace of play

Slow play and no ranger to keep things moving made the round for the four of us unpleasant.

Good for what it is

The Good: Staff was very friendly, greens are very smooth for Florida in December, the practice chipping green and putting green is good, course was short and fairly easy which made it very enjoyable to play.

The Bad: Pace was slow

The Ugly: the driving range is 200 yards max and it is mats, the mats have weeds growing through them which is a first time thing I've seen.

Always good

The greens are the pride of IMG but a close second is their fairways as pictured. The defense on this course is the green side bunkers. Great layout, friendly staff. Great day at IMG

Always a Challenge

After playing IMG many times I've decided that one needs their A game to score there. Every green is very well protected by bunkers or water, there's no running the ball up to the green. The greens are quick with subtle breaks and are in good condition. The sand in the bunkers can be a little uneven, some have good sand others are thin. The grass on the tee boxes can vary, as the course gets a lot of play. But overall, it's a fun course to play and always a challenge.

Great course! Challenging enough to make it fun!

I’ve played this course for the last several years and other than the driving range (almost destroyed by Milton) it’s in great shape. Chipping, sand shots and putting practice areas all available! Really enjoyable day of golf!

Looks like a resort or private club

Very open course, wide and forgiving. Great conditions. Feel luxurious.

Not to difficult. And many holes are similar so the variety and challenge could be a bit better
