Must Play and I will play again

What a nice day! This course is a jewel, rough, but a jewel.

It has several holes that would rank with the best holes I’ve ever played. Greens are getting better, could see where goosegrass has been sprayed. Lots of rain lately had some areas very wet. The Owner and the locals are worth the trip. Had a very nice afternoon and will surely return. Sure it was a treasure in its past. Go Play It!

Needs a lot of Love

Course is not in good shape from tee boxes to fairways to greens. Everything needs work and course would need an influx of money. If your looking to just hit some balls and practice this might be ok. If you just starting out this is your place. Any experienced golfer is going to be disappointed here.

What happened

I haven’t been here in over a year

What happened it was never perfect but Man it was hard to tell the fairway from the ruff the weed/grass clumps was the most i ever have seen not good hitting balls off on or around those weed clumps

It’s still a fun course for 20$

Utter slop.

Me and my playing partner get there and each ask for a cart (which is supposed to be included) and they tell us we have to share one. Other wise it would be an extra 10 dollars each to have our own. The quality of this course is unplayable starting at the first hole. No cart path at all. I hit my drive dead center of the fairway and the ball was lost 6 inches under water. Narrowly missed getting stuck several times tires spinning the whole time. I understand that it’s Florida and it rains but this course has no drainage whatsoever and there’s no warning before hopping on the course. That combined with the rude workers and dirty carts I wouldn’t recommend this course to even the most novice of players.

Terrible Course Conditions

Whole course was underwater. Multiple FAIRWAYS had many inches of standing water. Bunkers had exposed piping. Greens were dead and weed ridden. 18th hole was unplayable. 150-300 yards out was all underwater. Worst conditions I have ever played. Only reason I didn’t ask for a refund was because I was playing with my Father who I haven’t seen in a while.

terrable

We love the layout of the course,and we play it all the time, but this had to be the worse condition of any course we have ever played on.I realise we had a lot of rain and som placed couldn't be mowed,but there were a lot of places that could have been but weren't.I know over the years there have been money problems there but it won't get better money wise

if you can't keep it up.Its too bad its our favorite course layout wise in the area

Was bad

This course has never been in great shape because of money problems but it was unplayable today. I understand its been so wet so some places couldn't be mowed, but there were a lot of dry places that weren’t mowed. It takes away the fun if you constantly have to look for your lost ball in the fairway. It was either too much grass or no grass. Its too bad because its probably the best layout in the area
