Great golf for the money

Easy access to course, Florida flat, no elevation changes. Greens are fast even after the storms. Many trees down but they are on sides of fairways, not a hindrance to play..

Perfect weather
Used cart

Course is in good condition

The course staff had to work very hard to get the course in this good of condition days after Hurricane Milton. Over 90 trees were blown down and the course was clear, grass cut, and greens were perfect.

Still a good choice

There is hurricane damage,but it is blown over trees on the fairway perimeter, they don’t interfere with play.

Great Florida course for the money

This course is 3 miles from my house in Florida.. Mot too much sand or water.. And compared to the courses up north this is flat.. For the money it is worth it. You need a good 3 wood here.

Maybe you should have called first instead of complaining about it to us?

Best bang for your buck

Hot deals are around $20 & normal around $30. Course is very well-maintained. The pace is pretty good. Everything about this course is great, especially when you compare it to the prices of others in the area. My only negative is there is a specific older guy who is sometimes checking in and out carts, and he is extremely rude and crappy. I played this course 30 times in the past 4 to 5 months and there are a few cart guys who are very nice but this one guy is very crappy every time. It’s not just me there are many other regulars who state the same. So this happens to you, take it with a grain of salt, as it’s not you, He is like this to everybody. Other than that, the course is spectacular.

Tee box and sod

Greens held well and were great speed. Some of the fairways looked like they were recovering from s o d and was not the same height. Some tee boxes had no grass or very little. But I enjoyed myself.
