Redoing all greens.

Ever hole has the green in the fairway as they repair the greens. Worth $10. Not 20$ after fees.

With consideration that the course is being renovated, I think it is coming along well and is a good deal.

18 Temporary Greens

I'm really glad that Capitol One Shopping found me a coupon code that knocked a $12.00 tee time (lol) down to a whopping $3.72 with tax. Having played the course once last year and knowing it was an uninspiring course, I figured for less than $4 anything was a steal.

The tee boxes and fairways were...whatever. They were definitely not good, but nothing that overwhelmingly screamed "goat track." But then I approach the green on #1...and it's a temporary green on the fairway short of the overgrown main green. And then the same thing on #2. And #3. And EVERY HOLE afterwards. I have never seen anything like it before.

These "greens" were cut a little shorter and there was some effort made to differentiate them from the fairways, but not a lot. It was clearly (mediocre) fairway grass that was just a cut a little shorter to make really crappy, lumpy, and slow greens. I noticed too that the scorecards actually were printed to reflect the new shorter distances (tee boxes appeared to be mostly tipped out in response), which seemed to tell me that this is going to be a long-term thing.

The pros are that I paid only $3.72 and that it was WIDE open (not shocking based on course conditions). That's about it. If I paid even the $12, I was marching into the clubhouse after the front 9 and demanding a refund. I ended up playing the full 18 and didn't say anything to the staff. Something is seriously wrong with that course and I don't think it's getting remotely better anytime soon. Either way, that it the last time I will ever play there, for any price.

Under Construction

All greens were under repair. Temporary greens were in front of the greens in the fairways. This course should be closed until it is playable. The best thing the course could do is turn it into a practice range. They should have to disclose the condition of this course to the public and a warning issued before green fees are charged. Anyone who knows the condition of this course would never pay to play here.

You should have read the reviews, low fees are an indication of something out of the norm. The course is in the process of repair.

Pleasant challenge

The round was very pleasant. It was our first course we’d played in Florida and was very enjoyable. Just know to slow your pace and place your shots because holes are narrow and water was definitely challenging us not to lose our golf balls.

Greens were non existant

Cheap price for the teetime, however the greens were not in use and instead the fairways had makeshift greens. Every hole as a result was about 30 yards shorter than listed. Also pretty hard to practice putting on the fairway "greens" Tee boxes were also in rough shape.

The course continues to improve, and it is apparent that management will bring it back to what it was ten years ago, and maybe better.

Needs Work

I love the layout. There's some real challenging holes. The fairways and most tee boxes are in great shape! However, the greens are under repair and unusable. This at least shows the owners are attempting to fix the course condition. But this makes most bunkers obsolete as the temporary greens have been placed in front of the usual greens, and they're in terrible condition. Extremely bumpy with frail grass. On the plus side, there's very little traffic, so you really can play at your own pace. If you can play for under $25, then it's worth it. Otherwise, it's probably better to pay ~$35 and play at a course with actual greens. Also, THEY NEED WATER FOUNTAINS! Not a single one on the course or in the pro shop.
