Nice course

I enjoyed the course. Lots of bunkers and not a very long course. It is challenging to play and laid out well. The course was a little rough. There were some tee boxes that needed love, fairways as well. The greens were punched, which they stated and why it was so cheap. I would okay it againand recommended. I just hope they fix the areas of the tees and fairways that need a little TLC.

Great Course

Fairways and greens are in great shape. Some areas around the greens have weeds and bare spots but you can tell they are putting the work in to make the needed improvements. This was my 3rd time playing IMG over two years. It has improved in quality each time.

Excellent Golf Course

IMG Academy Golf Club is outstanding! Pro quality.

Practice green is identical to the course greens. Chipping area is good with the same green. The course, greens and bunkers are all maintained perfectly. Only downfall is there's only room for about 12 -15 people to warm up on the range. In addition, you can't get on the range until 30 minutes prior to tee time. Even so, I have only played it twice but will be on my list monthly. That's because I live in another county 50 miles away.

Course is in transition

This is the second time I’ve played this course. We played back in January 2022 and the course was in considerably better shape than in June. I like the layout and the smooth, fast greens but there were a lot of areas - on the tee box and around the greens - that had dirt or dead grass. I’ll be back, but my hope is that the course conditions are more pristine and closer to where they were in the beginning of the year.

Greens were good. Some tee boxes were in poor condition. Fairways were okay, some areas around the greens and in the fairways need attention. No much in the way of drinking water on the course.

A little disappointed

Played here last year ( also during summer ) and although the greens are still some of the best I’ve putted on in this area, there seemed to be a lot of weeds this time around. Almost as if no pre emergents were put down early in year to prevent the weeds now present. Also had a few thin almost bare spots on a few fairways. I talked good about this course since the last time I played it but probably won’t after yesterdays round. Until I try it again. Staff was friendly and the beverage cart was around three or four times during the round, a big plus. I’ll definitely play it again just for the greens.

Very good layout n course

Great course condition with speed of greens are nice , love the course n not having to wait on every shot but couple things disappointing as a member made her way over to our fairway to interrupt us to say we should pick pace up even though a group was in front of us plus group behind us wasn’t waiting , so arrogant members plus starter informed us after we tee off on first hole we had to hang up on one cart beside letting us know before we had teed off so improve service on starter and members cause we shouldbe treated better, thanks a scratch golfer

The course is in good shape, especially the greens. They have a nice practice facility too, but it’s mats only. You will have to share a cart if you’re paired up with another group. I’ll be back.

Nice greens

Course is definitely worth it if you can get a deal time. The fairways are nice as well. Tee boxes are decent. Greens roll fast and true. Enjoyed the round. Will play again.

Well kept and challenging

No nonsense staff, range balls included, gps golf cart a nice touch. Some fairways are very close to the parallel hole, be ready to find balls that aren’t yours.

Player ahead of us was being coached by an IMG coach and that slowed us down, as they practiced drills on the green of most holes.

There isn’t much to do around once you’re done playing.

The course is playing well, my only problem being there, is there was no ranger and pace of play was terrible.

Not worth the money

Expected a lot better course conditions from IMG Academy. Bare tee boxes and fairways. Greens were fine. Not maintained well overall. This is probably a $30 course. Wouldn’t come back for $55.
