Not worth the money (anymore)

I came here a few years back, and it was probably one of the nicest courses I’ve ever played. Worthy every penny of the $100+ price tag for a round. That is what brought me back this time. And although I spent north of $125 to play 18 holes, I’ve played nicer courses for < $70. The amenities are great, and the staff is fantastic. However, the field of play just wasn’t up to par for the price tag. If I am spending $125 to play a course, I expect to tell the difference between the fairway and the rough, or the fringe from the rough. The greens were excellent, but that is about it. I wasn’t impressed this go round. I would come back for the hole difficulty, staff, and food but prices need to be lowered to match course conditions.

Pretty good day

Played on a Monday in early afternoon. Given the wind, the last group out on the course. We played in about 3:44 hours. Course was in pretty good early season shape. Range well stocked with balls. Putting green in good shape. Always a good alternative to Kelly Plantation, Regatta Bay, SanDestin.

Ok for novice golfers

Super friendly on course concessions. The course was overrun with crabgrass in many fairways. Greens were in good shape and fast. Nice layout and good for novice players like us. Seemed a little overpriced for condition of the course.

Plenty of range balls available before starting the round.

Nice but slow

Great course. I loved the course but pace of play sucked. They didn’t have a ranger and it showed. Super slow. The pace of play kind of messes up their awesome course. If they fix pace of play then it would be an incredible course. Workers could be more friendly.

Got stuck behind a very old couple. But my opinion is the course is a 3 1/2 not 4 1/2. Miles

Not as expected

The staff is great and the greens rolled smoothly. I was disappointed with the condition of the fairways and ho-hum layout. It was seemed overpriced and was not the Florida golf I expected.

Average course

Fast greens. They had drained the ponds to work on the pipes underneath so it didn't look very nice. Staff was nice. Slope and rating were not on the cards, had to ask them in the clubhouse. For the money, just as nice or nicer courses in the area. Average layout.
