Here for vacation. Read about a lot of complaints regarding other courses (staff rudeness, pace of play, course quality). Snagged a morning tee time at IMG for $95. Got exactly what I paid for. Great conditions, friendly staff, beautiful facilities, etc. I will play again when I am in the area.

Booked at 2:50 tee time and was 30 minutes slow when we teed off at 10. Called the pro to.let them know we had slow play 2 groups ahead and no Marshall came out. Called for a cart girl and no one came out. Got to the 17 hole at 7:20 and they came out to tell.us to hurry up. Talked to them and they informed us they know where all carts are by GPS but did nothing about the group that was 3 holes behind by end of round.

IMG Disappointment

Beautiful course, but will never play there again. Very long wait time between holes. Ranger never came around to speed up play. Greens were not very well maintained, a lot of divets on the greens. Overall poor management from start to finish!!!

IMG has insured that they provide a reputable golf experience for all levels of golfer. The fairways, greens and traps are very well maintained. The course has some genuinely interesting holes which can mess up any golfer, especially when pins are in difficult positions. I would recommend this course anytime.
