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

Had a lot of fun
Played with three other single handicap guys from the blue tees. Had a lot of fun. Challenging because windy.
Greens have been perfect but incredable fast. Hard to get the exact speed of the putts. But that's it :-)
Will come again.
