Golfer Reviews
Great day w Friends!
Good fun course with friends for the money.
very good layout fairways too bumpy...
I enjoyed the layout. My only issues with the course is the fairways are to bumpy people with back problems i dont suggest you play here. Also the cart paths are breaking down and they have alot of dirt paths. If they could fix these 2 issues the course would be as good as surrounding course..Like De Bary CC 1 mile from this course if i am going to travel 50 miles to Debary i will play the golf club and c.c. of Debary.
Rough Ride
Some cart paths are in need of repair so be careful. There are some areas that drop off from pavement to dirt/sand drastically. There were areas of the fairway and greens that are over watered and mushy.
Nice course for he money
fairways are pretty good, the greens are very fast, took some getting used to. however the rest of the rough is lumpy and bumpy. had to drive slow so I wouldn't injure my back. All in all though a good time and bargain.
Fun, but different
Course was fun to play, though the back nine was totally different than the front nine. The back. I need has a totally different design and is a lot tougher. The greens were nice, but the rough needed some improvement. I'll definitely be back, because it was still a fun round
Nice course in good shape and easy to play
I'm not great golfer who needs resort style courses to challenge me... I just like to play golf. This course was a nice, easy and open course to play. I really enjoyed my round.
GN gave me a good price. I like playing different courses in the area. This is a nice fairly easy course to play. it is in pretty nice shape overall.
The tee boxes were in good shape, the fairways were well manicured with a few rough spots or hazards around, and the greens were really nice and very fast and not too challenging. The rough was cut to a length where you could find the ball easily.
This is not a very challenging course, but if you want to just go out for a nice easy relaxing round of golf, this is the place.
I liked it because it was not crowded, I could take my time and just enjoy the game and nature and relax and not get frustrated or upset with some poorly placed shots that were easy to advance.
Lots of birds and nice scenery. I will play this course again. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed my round here.
Best it has been in years
I haven't played this course in over 5 years mainly because it had been in such bad shape.
I read a few recent positive reviews and decided to give it a try. What a nice surprise. Fairways are good especially for summer time in Florida. Greens were some of best I've played anywhere recently. Smooth, fast with lots of undulation.
Only cons are not much rough just loose sand and spotty grass and the cart paths are pretty broken down.
Very happy with this course though. I will definitely be back.
Hidden Gem
This is the first time I have ever bothered to write a review, but I liked this course so much I felt I had to...now, first, the cons:
1. Cart paths are old and cracked and the drop offs can be ugly (but if there is one spot I don't care about excellence it would be there)
....ummm, that's about it.
This course is so well blended into the neighborhood you wouldn't even know it was there, yet you never feel like you are playing in someone's yard....phenomenal greens, some of the best in the area...solid fairways and forgiving tough...the layout is where it really shines to me...at least 2 yard Doyle's in each direction...water is in play (my nemesis) but not enough to be a constant dark shadow....I played by myself and only saw one other person out on the course all day....I am actually thinking about signing up for their tournament league, which plays every Thursday morning.
long time not played
greens good shape, fairways a bit rough but no worse than some, cart paths like going off road in great need of repair watch what you're your doing or bang!
Heartily Recommend this GEM
I was looking for a quick tee time and found this hidden gem - great price. I arrived 15 minutes before my tee time and was greeted by a friendly staff. I was able to get right out no waiting for 7am - the course was in fantastic condition. Fairways are perfect, rough in good shape as well, The greens were beautiful and had enough undulations to make for a good judge of the the putting surface - I hit 10 fairways and when I was not on the fairway the rough was a test but fair. 32 putts on the round - green speeds fairly quick but firm and fair - I definitely will play here again and again - give this one a try the owner has really put money into it and is well worth the drive and the cost
Fun course, great greens
Love this course! While the staff is a bit skeptical of players who book on Golf Now, don't let that deter you. It's a challenging well-maintained course. The greens are supper fast. Many holes play near water. Love it!
GETTING BETTER
USE TO BE A MEMEBER AT THIS COURSE MANY YEARS AGO IT HAS CHANGED OWNERS 3 TIMES SINCE THEN THE RYE IS DOWN SO GO PLAY THIS WELL LAID OUT COURSE .BUT GO WHILE THE RYE IS STILL MAKES IT LOOK NICE I GIVE THE GREENS 4 STARS
This course is a great layout!
The course was not ion very good shape but it is a great layout and has some nice holes. The staff was very friendly and the pace of play was good. Hopefully the will over seed for the winter and the course conditions will improve.
GREAT IMPROVEMENT
GREAT IMPROVEMENT GREENS ARE BEST IN AREA.WILL BE FANTASTIC WITH OVERSEEDING
Course is Improving
This course has gone from a beater to one with alittle more work could be very good. It has improved alot since i last played it about four months ago. For the price and if you are just starting out give it a try.
Nice course for the money!
Fairways need some work, greens are great. Course is in a lot better condition than the last time I played. I can see their efforts. I will definitely be back.
On the comeback
The improvements on the course over the last 18 months are noticeable and welcome. The greens are excellent and fast; we played winter rules in the fairways and allowed drops that took us onto grass. For the money, the round was well worth it. The layout is interesting and when the fairways are finished, this course will be a true destination.
Cant tell where the fairway starts and the rough ends.
The course was in rough condition to say the least, but the staff was very friendly. That being said I would not play here again just because I don't like playing out of the sand when in actuality I was in the fairway.
This course has a very friendly staff
Some of the greens could use some work. The rough is very rough. But all together a nice course with a friendly staff. Plenty of water coolers along the course.
