Golfer Reviews
Greens are the worst in the state
I play here on a weekly basis and was hoping we were getting better. The fairways and tea boxes are a little better, but everything else is absolutely horrible. The greens are the worst in the state of Florida and are barely playable. I will not play here again until the fix the greens. Two couples that were coming in when we did same exactly the same thing. Pay the extra few $$ and play Deltona or DeBary, or add 10 strokes to your game and play here.
Great drive, terrible time.
Lots of weeds on the course (not the medicinal kind). Would be a fun course if it was well kept. Bring your beer, because you wanna forget how you played it after seeing the course conditions. They’re trying the best they can, and some fairways have good grass but overall it’s disappointing. Good luck.
Happy hour
Course, ratings on GolfNow a 3.2.
They said the greens have some grass that are varied in texture. They were OK. Not a problem. You can tell the course has winter seeded fairways, tees and and greens.
Staff very friendly. Could not be better or nicer.
Amenities dated.
Good for a scramble only. This is fun when everyone is drinking together. Bring your beers and your bucks.
First time at this course
Weather: heavy mist and 70 degrees, very light wind. Lots of doglegs and bunkers in strategic positions. Tee boxes needed mowing and leveling. Fairways were OK but a bit lumpy from carts being allowed on the course when it was too wet. Cart paths were non-existent to kidney-jarring. Greens were green, but with multiple varieties of grass growing on them causing the ball to hop to the hole. Needed mowing and rolling. Overall, a reasonable $36 course, but definitely no more than that.
Bang for buck for sure
The course layout was beautiful , filled with dog legs throughout the course . Some tee boxes were pretty rough but this is a very affordable course that gave me a really good experience. I would go back for sure . Greens roll nice and can be tricky reads . Staff was awesome . My son and I have zero regrets coming here for Christmas
Enjoyable course, mediocre conditions
I had a fun playing here this past weekend. Like many courses in the area, the conditions are worse for wear and many holes are in need of attention. Most tee boxes and greens are in pretty poor condition, but still playable. The fairways are solid on the majority of holes with no major issues. The layout is very interesting and not boring, just need the conditions to improve to match. I look forward to seeing how this course shapes up in the coming months.
Terrible course, not worth, will not be back
I understand a hurricane hit two weeks and the course only had the front 9 open but this rating is because the course was in terrible condition and should be considered unplayable. On top of having the sprinklers running 24/7 on not only the green but the tee box. Couldn’t even play where we needed to. And having them randomly going off and getting completely wet 2-3 times while we tried to play at least 9 holes. Left after that and paid for 18. Wasn’t even worth it to stay
Very poor
While I understand this course has changed ownership a number of times in the last 20+ years, it seems like this course is stuck in a rut. I didn’t expect it to be in great shape but didn’t expect it to be so poor. Hole 2, a par 5, used to drive over a swampy pond and now, because it’s overgrown and under kept, they’ve moved the tees to what would be the first landing area. Most tee boxes are weed ridden with deep ruts to stand in. It’s like they’re not even trying. I want it to be good again, I really do. Crazy prices for the dismal shape of the course. Shouldn’t be more than $15 for 18 in this shape. Bummed because it’s 5 minutes from my house and because I remember when it was lush and beautiful 30 years ago.
