very nice course

Except for the bad smells from the water treatment plant, this course is perfect for simple enjoyment. Lots of birds and nice mature trees and exotic plants . No waiting time . No GPS in the carts but still OK. They ask far too much for a simple draft beer at the bar... and practice balls are not cheap. Everything else is very nice.

Location, location!

This public course is situated so conveniently to our home. It could be our home course! More water on some greens and fairways - but it's FL...

The Troll is still at large.

Management has been informed of his tyrannical behavior but no one wants tame him.

Perhaps this is a good enough reason to change courses. As a matter of fact, he recommends that you change your place to play golf.

His behavior would only be tolerated at a county course.

Frustrated

I skipped the 1st hole so I would not have to wait for the club league players. they were allowed to start 15 min late which ran into my tee time. There were three foursomes in league play. The course needs to force play or make them wait. I had a 7:15 tee time. There were no tee times behind me for at least 35 min. When I passed them on the 1st hole the first foursome still had not made it to the green, and I was already 10 minutes behind.

Nice layout

Been a few years since playing here. Greens were in great shape not real fast. Fairways were mostly in good shape. Tee boxes were a little beat up and dried out. I bought a small bucket of range balls and you hit off a mat. One of my playing partners wanted to hit a few drivers to warm up and he went ahead of mat at end of bay and was immediately reprimanded to stay on mat. I believe that wasn’t necessary. Our group had a good time other than that incident.

Horribly overbooked

There were 10 people booked for the same time. Six people were booked for the time after starting time.

There was a large group that jumped ahead of us who had an employee in their group. He was aggressive, loud and very rude when. The guy I played with suggested that the same employee was very rude in the past to him as well. Aside from that the staff was very nice.
