Etiquette

I heard more swearing and loud people with no respect for the game than ever in my life. The pace was horrendous and no marshall to help. It was a complete zoo. We did not tee off on time and never got to finish the round. I was not happy.

Four hours to play 12 holes.

No Marshalls. Group of 16 ahead of us playing a 2 man scramble. Not bad golfers but spent more time drinking and wasting time than playing golf. ENTIRE GOLF COURSE BACKS UP.

When they got to the 12th hole, a par 3, teed off then sat down and had shots and conversation with the Raffle guy before going up to chip & putt (no one was on the green) we gave up.

This new management group needs to step up and hire a Marshall to keep things moving. I live 3 miles away and after today, my friends and I will let all our friends know to stay away until course Management improves.

Unfortunately, overbooked

My review of this place is Snapshot. It looks like a beautiful course unfortunately they were booked maybe overbooked and I’m a new golfer. Did not allow single riders to have their own cart…. I guess I will find a quieter course and come back when I can keep up. Overall, the staff was very friendly

Due to reseeding, cart path only for golf cart.

Like the layout of the course, wide fairways, greens were okay, fairways not in great shape due to reseeding. Will definitely play again in future.

Always delays in tee-times at this course

Every time we golf this course, tee-times are off by 30 mins of more. There is no starter and people just do what ever they want. On this Sunday, 3 foursome in front of us, decided to wait till all 12 players showed up before teeing off. No started to tell to move, of lose tee-time. cause a 40 min delay in our tee-time. and of course since they all knew each other, played slow and waited on holes for others to chat.

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..
