Be prepared for 5-6 hr round

7 Minutes between tee times not enough. Signs about slow play not enforced by Ambassadors only seen at the first hole. Welcome to public golf in Florida.

Sandy greens

The course is in pretty good shape but the greens were newly sanded which made putting very difficult. But they are doing what they have to in order to keep the course up. It was pretty crowded and unfortunately, there was no starter or ranger which is unfortunate.

Descent Value

This is a County course, but it is in good shape. It was worth the value of the cost.

Clogged! Do not book!

Absolutely horrendous pace of play. Couldn’t finish 18 because of how clogged it was, they way over book their times. Greens and fairways were in fair condition. There is no number to call someone in the proshop, it redirects you to a call center in South Africa! I would never play this course again. So frustrating. Horsecrap

Slow round

I played here last year for $50. This year it was $78 and $98 before noon. I don’t like how they raise the price once January hits to gouge the vacationers. It’s an ok course in decent shape but not worth that money. Play was slow as well because the tee times are only 7 minutes apart.
