Flat, challenging and well conditioned

IMG is a tough layout so choose wisely from the many tee box options. Like all courses in this part of Florida it’s pretty flat but it offers a good variety of shotmaking challenges. Greens are subtle and well maintained but not terribly fast. Fairways are in terrific shape right now. There’s not much shade on the course so these days it can get pretty hot.

Course conditions

Course conditions below average for the money and expectations where students pay lots of money to attend. Greens ok, but fairways, T Boxes and bunkers in below average conditions.

Beautiful day and a beautiful course. Tee to green were in great shape. The greens were very fast and that made scoring difficult. Overall a very nice layout and I recommend this course!

Poor hours

This course is always fairly priced, but their policy on getting carts in early is a deal breaker. We played golf after day light savings in March and they made the carts all come in at 6pm. Considering it was light out until almost 8, this is ridiculous because obviously someone who made a tee time at 3:45 or so would expect to be able to play 18. I'm not sure why this course can't just have their cart guys stay til dark like every other course. Extremely frustrating and this is not a one off thing, it has been like this for years.

Greens In Good Shape

Played mid-morning, weekday round. Course was almost empty. Finished (as a foursome) in less than four hours. Course has some dry spots in a couple of fairways but is in good shape for this time of the summer here in south Florida. Greens in very good condition. Areas bordering greens (fringe/collars/chipping areas) are not in good shape. Sand traps improving. Very friendly and welcoming staff (kudos to Steve in the Pro Shop). Can recommend this course and look forward to playing IMG Academy Golf Club again soon.

Really average!!!

The good- staff, pace of play and greens. The bad - areas around the greens and traps, rough, tee boxes. The GPS is from the nineties!!! No amenities other than a line cart girl. It’s ok to play in a pinch but not a destination course.
