great course/great price

Course in good shape, greens were excellent, couple of tee boxes need some work. Staff was fantastic and the price was a super value at $46 which included range and chipping balls. Pace of play was a bit slow and did not see any rangers keeping pace moving, round took just over 4.5hours. I would recommend and go back.

PAS

Course was in great shape fun to play very challenging. I thought the pace of play was fine until the Ranger came up and asked us to skip the next hole l because we were not keeping up. We saw no reason the gps was telling us we were fine. We finished the roundi in four hours not sure what was going on, but he did seem young may be he was confused. Was a great round outside of that distraction

Still a Gem

This course is in phenomenal shape, considering the crazy drought situation we've been in for quite some time. The superintendent and his crew are amazing. The greens were perfect. I ❤️ IMG!!

Don’t think. Book it.

I got on for a reasonable hotdeal and let me tell you, I’d pay full price for this course. Challenging but getable. Practice facilities were great with range balls included. Greens were fast but not glass. Tee boxes were flat and mostly in impeccable shape. Layout was fun. My buddy and I had a blast and can’t wait to go back. Staff was awesome and inviting. If you haven’t played here, do yourself a favor and do it.

Overall a good experience

Worth the Hot Deal price on golf now. No real amenities on the course. Beverage cart not very well stocked. Only enough bloody mary mix for one cocktail.

Great course and great condition.

The IMG Academy golf course was very enjoyable. We played the black tees, approximately 6,800 yards. Great condition, easy layout to walk, and very friendly, helpful staff. I'll be back!

Nice course

I think paying $100.00 is too much for this course but that seems to be the going rate for Florida golf.

Good day of golg

Hats off to the staff in the pro shop. My wife cut her arm on the golf cart. We called for some first aid. They were there in a flash and had what we needed to finish the round. Super friendly. Thans.

Worth It

Worth the $92 green fees. Attention to detail every step of the way. Pay the extra $ and enjoy your time vs a beat up, overplayed course to save a few bucks. Great practice facilities and pace of play. Not many thin lies, greens rolled great, nice tee boxes. Very enjoyable round.

Pace of play is an issue at IMG. Need a ranger that will move along slow groups.
