Rude

My poor rating is a result of staff being rude. Our tee time was changed from what our reservation with Golf Now so they could pair us up. This is fine but the individual who gave us the cart yelled at us because we were late. Our reservation was for 10 minutes later. He said you belong on tee box. We get to tee box and the starter said your late and you are supposed to be in the middle of the fairway now with the other 2 golfers. He said we could go now or get squeezed in somewhere. We chose to tee off to catch up with the other 2. So the starter is waving his arms at us and yelling to just go. Which we did.

This whole issue was a result of switching tee times to get a foursome and not notifying us. The staff was just rude and blaming us for being late. It was quite embarrassing..

Surprised

I played here about 5 years ago but never came back because it wasn’t better enough to justify the long drive. Now it is much nicer, proven by my playing 2 days in a row and driving an hour each way. Thumbs up!

Slow play

Spacing tee times at 7 minute interval should be changed to 10 minutes. Current tee time intervals lead to 5+ hour rounds.

We had fun!

My wife and I had fun, course was in really good shape and pace was good. Typical Florida course, plenty of trouble spots and a few particularly tough holes but if absolutely recommend this course, we'll play it again

I like it

Course in good shape...a few wet spots after rain, but what can u expect...my only complaint...only

7 minz between start times, so generally slow and backed up...I wish they would change it to 9 minz...sure they would lose some money (maybe not, people might play more frequently)...but it would create better flow and more enjoyable

Brutal brutal brutal

This is a course that prides itself as being a 6hr+ track. Brutal starter, no marshalls and they don't give a flying t.rd, if it takes 6 plus hrs. Response from workers is have you ever played in February around here. Answer is yes and those other courses actually care about your experience!!! These guys care if your CC is good, money money money!!! Unless you don't care about taking 20plus minutes per hole this is your spot, otherwise STAY AWAY THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU!

Brutal brutal brutal

No Marshall, starter doesn't follow the list he's shoving as many as he can squeeze in. Wait time with cashier. Brutal management. Not sure if I ever want to return but management doesn't care. Oh and last time I was here with visitors. They rented clubs that looked they came from the dump. Bent clubs dented clubs. Just garbage!!!

Had to leave as 6 HOURS IS BRUTAL!!!!!!!!!!!

But like I said management don't care
