very nice course, nice environment, many trees

We had a beautiful afternoon, starting at 12.50.
as it was sunday and not so busy we could start earlier, with no Problems. Starter and Ranger were so kindly, so we could start as a twosome. First nine were moderate, second nine much more challenging
of longer distances. All together a really nice afternoon. Thanks so much all the staff.

A very peaceful round of golf.

It was like we had the golf course to ourselves, at 11am on a Friday. This course is surrounded by a lovely neighborhood of Florida homes, but none of them encroach on the golf course. Lots of interesting birds, including several sand hill cranes. The greens were slower than I'm used to, but I'm a spoiled bent greens brat. After the round, the cold drinks at the bar were served by a great, friendly bartender. We met some new members and the general manager even came out to greet us. We'll do this one again!

Beautiful course

We read several negative reviews of this course before playing and I am sorry but I think the reviewers must have had a bad personal day that had little relationship to the quality of this course!
This is a beautiful and challenging course. Staff was the most courteous right from the fellow who went out of his way to move some trash containers so my wife could park her car in a very crowded lot. Pro shop fellow was very pleasant and cheerful...l'd hire him in a NY minute but I don't think he be willing to move back north. Starter full of course knowledge and willing to give tips for any and all holes or overview in general. Delightful start on the day.
Not a crowded day so we were never rushed and for the first time on a course that is really a pleasure.
Course 1, Jack 0!
It whipped me good and proper but I admit to playing from the blacks just because there was no pressure from behind and we had a great day....oh yes, it was overcast all day and that is a treat down here!
Play this course, you will consider it a day well spent.

Over seeded

cart path or ruff only they had over seeded and fairways had not been mowed nor had the greens. Kind hard when one hits a draw and the other hits a fade. Didn't let you drive across the fairway either. I'm sure they'll the course back in shape

Cart path only

We were not advised that this was cart path only...playing with someone in group who was 82 was a little hard on him. They should have spent the overseeding money on their horribly slow, weedy greens.

Thank you for leaving your review of the course, and we apologize that you were unaware of the cart path only conditions. We have also started maintenance on many of our greens as our hope is to provide the best conditions for our golfers through the winter season. We encourage you to reach out to our management at adrian@materngolf.com to discuss your round further.

Dissapointed

I enjoy this course but we could only use the buggy paths due to over seeding and it takes away some of the enjoyment. Nothing worse than getting to your ball on the other side of the fairway only to discover you have the wrong club! Due to all the walking involved and the fact I am carrying a back injury could only play 9.

Greens are horrible

Overall the course is in decent shape but with the greens being so poor it makes for a not so fun round of golf. I would not go back even for $17.

nice layout

WE were treated very well right from being picked up at our vehicle to the time we left. Although the greens were less than perfect( summer in Florida) they putted true and were acceptable. The layout is interesting as well as very attractive. Plenty of water in play without many forced carries. An enjoyable day of golf and looking forward to playing Boca Royale again!

mediocre

Fairways spongy, rough to include edges of fairways uncut. Greens were horribly slow and full of dead spots and weeds. No driving range. 35.00 was way to high for conditions.

It was my first time at this course and it won't be my last. Fairways and greens were in great shape. The greens are smaller than most, but that's what makes this course a little more of a challenge for all you par players out there. Enjoy

Similar to Wentworth GC, Celebration GC, & Windermere CC.

8:00 tee time w/ wife for $22.22/ea thru Tee Off. Set in subdivision. Plush & pristine course. Some damp areas on course from recent heavy rains but not cart paths only. Elevated greens rolling true & fast. Battery powered carts w/ windshield & raincover in back. Will definitely play again when in area.

I enjoy the layout of this course. Challenging, but not too difficult. Greens a bit inconsistent and fairways a bit damaged, but overall good condition for the off season. Some employees (not all) should find a new line off work where they would not have to work with the public.

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback about our course. Please keep in mind that on Monday 6/29/15 we did a wall to wall aeration of the greens and verticutting of the fairways. This USGA Best Practice was posted and discounted green fees were charged. I do hope you will return after the turf has sprung back from these necessary procedures to experience our course in all of its true glory.
