IMG Academy Golf Club

Challenging and extremely playable course. Friendly staff. Pace of play good for late afternoon.

Was my first time playing this course. Thought the course was in very good condition. The greens were so smooth and very fast which I loved and they held shots also. There were only a few. Negatives. 1st there is very little sand in the bunkers so there very had. (Come on IMG get that beach sand In those bunkers.) The only other negative was the driving range as there having you hit off a mat. That's really not real practice you need to hit off grass.

Good overall. Very nice foursome with 3 gentlemen Seth, Steve and Lue, who were great fun. Course in good shape. Greens true and fast. Layout nice but nothing spectacular. Good value!

Bag drop staff were super which was a nice start. Went into pro shop and the counter person was very “cold” with her introduction. Not friendly at all. In order to get food or a drink, we had to go up to the second floor and walk along a very long hallway to the restaurant. Great service but we felt like we were imposing. No one there and very limited menu choice.

Practice facilities were beautiful but packed. No starter to greet us. I had to go to other golfers waiting to see who had the next tee time. We had to wait several minutes on each hole. It took 4 hours and 50 minutes to play our round. I was in three bunkers and our group was in seven in total. No sand in them and the 4” big “O” drainage pipe was exposed. Halfway house closed and we didn’t see the beverage cart until the 8th hole. We had a diabetic with us and needed a sugar boost. No candy bars or food on the cart. Our golf cart didn’t have a parking brake so I had to park in spots that would prevent it from rolling. On occasion, the cart would move and start beeping.

Not a very pleasant day compared to previous rounds played at this course!

Play IMG for the first time played in four hours with three nice guys were paired up with me of course was in great shape the greens rolled true the speed was a little quick when you got used to it it was a great round Will definitely be back

Bunkers need sand

On course washrooms disgusting

I arrived an hour before tee time. Was told I was only permitted to use the range a half an hour before my tee time. OK I’ll go have a bite to eat. Uhhhh nope restaurant closed. The beverage cart is out on the course and will have food and drink. It was, we saw it on the second hole and that was it during a 4 hour and 40 minute round.

The course is in very good condition. Traps could use a bit of work but greens were perfect. Held well and ran fast and true. Fairways and rough also in excellent condition. The range and other practice areas are fantastic.

It was a long round but I was grouped in with three great guys. Thanks Steve, Dick and Barry.

This is a great course. I’m puzzled however by the missed opportunity for revenue with the bar cart and restaurant. The course layout and excellent conditions will bring me back.

Some holes are close together, cart paths intersect with each other. Starter was great! Range uses mat’s. 19th hole closed when we finished.

Man behind the register with the glasses treated us as if we were a burden to him. Gentleman working the range tried to inform us that we shouldn’t have grabbed a bucket of balls from the chipping range even though we were told to do so by another employee there. Range was bone dry and had zero golf balls available. Once he was informed that we were instructed to grab different golf balls by one of the other employees, he attempted to change his tune and say that he was just kidding (he wasn’t). Made it quite clear that I didn’t pay $75 to go and do his job for him. Would have loved to show up to a driving range that already had balls set up. After this experience, it’s quite clear why this is one of the cheapest courses in the area. You get what you pay for. Lesson learned. On a brighter note, the cart girl was phenomenal.

I was very impressed with the course design. There was plenty of room to keep the ball in play, and that was a good feature. The tees, fairways, and greens were all in good shape. There were several water hazards that were not noted by GPS, or the score card. This is a disadvantage for a first time player. Being snow bird season, the tee times were fully booked, and I was only able to complete 16 holes. Overall, I had a really good feeling about the course and the staff, I will try it again after Easter - when the snow birds head north.

They do not care about pace of play . I. #5 there were four groups on the hole at same time . Tee’d off 2:25 ( 15 Mins late ) and got to #10 at 5:03pm . Left after 9 !
