First Time Playing

range and nice putting green included, by the 1st tee box. course was in good condition, fairly wide fairways and rough not too long. greens are good size and were cut for a nice speed. there are a few holes with water cutting thru a couple fairways to be aware of and some nice views. i was paired up with someone and had a good round.

Course conditions okay for this time of year - greens are in reasonably good shape

Overall a good experience, but we were stuck behind a painfully slow four ball. Course is in pretty good shape, compared to other local courses which are typically let go this time of year

Great Course

Had a great time playing IMG. Best greens I’ve played so far in the area. True and fast. Fairway are gorgeous also. Interesting layout. Bunkers great. Practice area great. Can’t find one thing I’d complain about except maybe pace of play. Very slow. Other than that 4.5 out of 5.

After having such a positive experience at IMG the week before we booked another mid-week, mid-morning round as a threesome. Wound up playing with a single. Finished in just over 4.5 hours, as pace was due to foursome in front of us slowing down on back nine (100+ heat index day). Course conditions were excellent, with perfect greens, fairways, and sand traps. Friendly and accommodating staff (on day we played: Ian on carts, Evan & Brendan in club house, and starter Mark). Newly installed ice machine and water fountain in halfway house was a welcome surprise, especially in the conditions we've experienced this summer.

Nice Golf Course

IMG is a nice golf course. The fairways are always in good shape as well as the greens. During the hot summer months great deals can be occasionally had using GolfNow however those deals are generally very popular and thus if you sign up as a single you will always be paired with three other golfers. So what this means is that almost always the pace of play is dictated by the slowest golfer in the foursome. Our pace was exactly 4:hours which is fairly normal under non- summer months but unfortunately we played under 109F heat index and four hours is way too long for that type of heat. The rest area with water and ice on the 5th hole ran out of ice late in our round and so that made it less than ideal. IMG is a well maintained and fun golf course but I recommend playing under cooller conditions..

Very Positive Experience, Top Notch Course

Played weekend round on one of the hottest days of this summer. Excellent course conditioning from tee to green. Evert green rolled fast and true. First tier and welcoming staff (the day we played we were warmly greeted by Bobby G. at bag drop, Brendan & Willem in the clubhouse, plus starter Mark) who all seemed to appreciate that we chose to spend our time and money at IMG. Obviously we very much liked this course and look forward to returning soon.

Too long for us

We’re seniors and the course is too long even from the senior tees. But the course is great for long ball hitters.
