Great Course

We had a great time, the course is in great shape. Excellent fairways, beautiful greens, a great course for the money. Was a little letdown that it was a Sunday and they boast about amazing food on the website and the restaurants closed, the other thing not allowed to bring coolers. That’s just a lame thing. It’s Florida. It’s 95° outside. Let me bring my waters and Gatorade’s and not try to fit everything in an 8 inch cooler. Those are definitely two major downsides other than that it was a good time.

Great price to value

Out of the gate the staff was awesome. Course was a lot of fun and was in great shape (white tee boxes were a little iffy) fairways and greens in great shape. Breezed through the front 9 in 90 minutes. Back 9 we hit a bit of a wall and pace of play went south. A ranger would have been great to keep things moving. All in a very good experience.

Course is in great condition. Was hot out and course has plenty of ice and water available during the round at not cost. Took 4 hours but was worth it

Great Conditions - Okay Layout

Overall a fine course to spend your money at. Conditions were great! Free range balls with your round (always a bonus and should be standard in my opinion). The layout just felt down and back at times which isn't personally my favorite style of golf. Would play here again, but plenty of other courses to try before coming back.

Nice round for a good price

The course is in great shape, especially given how much it has rained over the past weeks. Compared to other courses in the area, this course is long, even from the white tees. Pace of play was slow which is somewhat expected on a weekend but it would have been great to see the marshal out there more to try and speed up play.

The greens were in great shape they were fast and really consistent speed from green to green. The layout was really impressive. It was fun and challenging. A lot of dog legs that require a lot of shot making. The design makes approach shots into the green very difficult at times. I definitely plan on coming back.
