Gator Trace Golf & Country Club

Fairly new to the area and I decided to give this course a go. And it didn’t disappoint from the moment I arrived . a cart was driven to my vehicle to grab my clubs, spoke to two gentlemen inside the pro shop, very informative, friendly personable. Played as a single in less than three hours. Course is in very good shape. The greens are a little slow for my liking, but I definitely will be back.

Fourth time playing here very nice definitely gonna come back tear off at 1:30 had the entire course to myself

Not that bad they have groups that go out every day at 1 o’clock when you get stuck behind them, they take forever to play otherwise real nice place

First time playing here excellent round course in good shape now that’s on Golfnow. I’ll play here often.

Had a great day at Gator Trace. Good course, nice greens, great staff.

Tee times way to close together. Could finish 9 hole because of waiting on the tee.

Plays like an executive course; driver/wedge. Too many twists and turns to fit it within the housing footprint. It would be OK if the greens were any good, they were so long and shaggy it wasn't worth putting them. Recommend the Staff not water the tee boxes (with reclaimed smelly water) when people are playing.

Having lived in the area for half a dozen years, I hadn't made it to Gator Trace until last week, when on a whim after getting my car serviced, I drove up, paid a very reasonable high-season green fee of $30, and headed out. The Del Boca Vista-like condo complex surrounding the course didn't exactly bode well for my expectations, which were already pretty low.

Nevertheless, I had a very enjoyable time and appreciated the course, warts and all. The routing (uneven) and corridors (often 10 yards too tight; the land was better-suited to a 5,000-yarder than a somewhat shoehorned 6,000-yarder) are compromised by the real estate and the course wasn't in great shape, but a surprisingly fun set of greens saved it for me. A highlight was the green of the long, straightaway par-4 7th, perched across a canal with an abrupt fall-off into short grass on the left and a series of wavy mounds dominating the right half of the green. A neat feature, and a reminder that even somewhat pedestrian golf courses have plenty of enjoyable qualities if you look with a generous eye.

At this time of year, rates become more reasonable, but the prices here are not at all indicative of the quality of this golf course. It is short, with a par 70, but with water on every hole and lots of challenges. This is an older style course but is well maintained and just a lot of fun to play. We have played in this area for several years during April but never gave this course a thought. I would recommend it to both the advanced and beginning players. Just stay out of the water and watch for the alligators.

Tricky but super fun track! Was totally amazed by the the course staff and Bill in the club house for being so friendly. Would definitely go back here and recommend this to anyone. Awesome day for a couple of Minnesotans looking for some scenic holes and great place to play!

Nicely landscaped and well maintained course with very friendly staff. The weather was a bit drizzly so there weren't a lot of players and we finished 18 holes in 2-1/2 hours.

1st time playing here; course was packed but the pace of play was pretty good. Nice staff and the course was in very good condition. The price through GolfNow was excellent so I was very happy with the experience.

very friendly course to play particularly for beginners and intermediate players. The live alligator at the 17th hole was an unexpectedly nice finishing touch to a good round of golf

Course was wet from all the rain, we played lift clean and place. Fairways had good grass cover, rough is not overly penal.
Greens were a little slower than normal but rolled nicely. If you spray the ball expect to lose some balls. Fun challenging round!

Very good condition. Some tight fairways. Greens good. Lots of water.

Nice course layout, well kept, will return.
Thanks Gator Trace.

Course was in pretty good shape. It isn't the longest course but could use a variety of clubs. Quite a bit of watrr but doesn't really get in the way too often. The 6-8' gator was interesting to see and watch.

we are a couple and we went there hoping be paired with another twosome. The man at the pro shop told us there is n other twosome. But we followed 2 twosomes and 2 twosomes were following us. Everybody was following some foresomes. It takes 5 hours of waiting, and waiting....
At the end, they told us that some members don't like to play with other people ?????
So if you go there, make sure you are a foresome, or you are going to wait a lot.
