Nice layout that is well maintained

The golf course was in very good condition. Greens were very fast and true which made for some challenging longer putts. Roughs were nicely green with more grass than your typical "Florida Course" which was nice for being able to hit pitch shots from around the green.

We played on a cold (45 degrees) day that was very windy that made it a bit more challenging. Pace of play was good as we started on the back 9 as the 1st group and never had to wait for a single shot all day so finished in just under 4 hours.

Windy Golf

Staff was very accommodating with our tee times due to morning rain. Course was in great shape after rain- not soggy! Will definitely add this golf course to my list every time I come to Florida!

I believe best course in the area! I’m from Michigan. With that being said I’ve played all over the states and it’s hard to beat Michigan golf I feel. But, played a few courses in Florida and for the money this corse was excellent. I played a 150 dollar course that the layout was amazing but shape of corse was sub par. I played a 50 dollar course that should have been condemned. Img had the best amenities as far as driving range, chipping area, and putting area. Even during the holidays the pace of play wasn’t terrible. The condition of the course was fantastic.

Walked

Walkable Wednesday

I decided to walk this round, Great decision for a wonderful course. This course gets a lot of play. That being said, you really cant tell. The tee boxes show the traffic the most. Greens, fairways, bunkers all in very good shape. With little rain, the course is still very lush looking with the recent overseed coming in nicely. Pace was good this day. 4hr 10 min. The course plays long but is wide enough to allow for off center shots. Very nice track.
