You get what you pay for

When you pay 21.00 to play, you are getting, at best, a 21.00 golf course. It is horrible! The tee boxes are rarely mowed, covered in weeds and clover, many are covered with fire ants. The bunkers are trash, weeds all over the place, hardly ever maintained the times I have played. The fairways are decent for the most part but do have some weed infestation, the rough is like playing in a Bahia and clover pasture, and need mowing and maintenance, the greens less than desirable. They roll about a 3 or 4 on a stimp if they were actually stimped. They change hole locations it seems about 1 time every week or two. The holes are so dry it pulls the cup liners out when you remove the flagstick. This course has so much potential to be a 40.00 golf course if the would maintain it up to the minimum of industry standards. They should just sod the most of the bunkers on the course if they are not go to maintain them. I do not know where they got he photos for the course on this web site, but over the last two months I have played several rounds there, and I have never seen the course in that condition. The practice putting green is garbage, the so called par three course-the tees and greens are garbage, not maintained at all. It is a real shame the condition they have let this course get in. It has so much potential to be a good track if they put forth the effort and get people who know what they are doing in golf operations. I live inside the community and I had rather drive 15 miles to lake wales cc or for the same money drive 25 minutes to River Greens Golf Club. Sad when residents do not support your course because you do not put forth the effort to maintain it. At least mow the dang tees and greens. No reason the greens can't roll a 9 or 10.

Old Florida Atmosphere

The course is in pretty decent condition. The back 9 seemed to need more attention than the front 9.

It could be improved but then management would no doubt have to raise the rates. I think they have found a good balance.

Not worth the drive

Very poor pace of play, had group of locals with their own carts jumping from hole to hole because of the slow play, they continually cut in front of others. The tee's are rough and long weedy areas around tees and greens. With a little course management it could be a lot better. This course is a long drive to get to and for the conditions not worth it even if I only paid $20 on a hot deal.

Has come a long way

We had not played this course for about 6 years. At that time we felt that this was not a course I would play. Now in the last 2 weeks we have played it twice. Congratulations to the owners. Well done. You have developed this course to a course we will continue to play in the winter. The fairways are green and greet to hit of of. The greens are also plush. Slow only because it is not rolled. Challenging even though. Recommend for anyone to play

Much improved from last visit

Played Christmas of 2017. Swore I would never go back. Outward clubhouse appearance was much nicer. Still nothing inside Pro shop.Staff was nice and friendly. Course has improved immensely Greens bushy, but were filled in for a grade of B-

Fairways not bad considering this is winter and much improved over 15 months ago. Grade of a C. Tee boxes were the major complaint, as there were none.. What had the tee box markers were nothing more than weeds and bare dirt. Give that a F. Have seen much improvement and hope that continues as the layout could make for an enjoyable round of golf.

Give it a fair chance

Hey, come on guys. This course doesn't compare with the likes of the Disney courses or some of the other high dollar course. But it provides an affordable place to play, especially during the peak season in central Florida. The tee boxes leave a lot to be desired. The fairways need to be mowed. The greens are not perfect, but they are better that a lot of the courses in this area. Stop and think how much less you're paying than what you would be paying at other courses in this area. I personally think that it should be rated higher.

Country Course

Course is nice, open, well kept. Was a 45 minute drive for us, further than we thought it was. This is not a high quality course, but adequate for regular play

Underrated

For the price of a tee time here, compared to other courses in the central Florida area during the peak season, it is well worth playing. It's a long drive from just about anywhere (it's about 30 miles from US Hwy 27 in Lake Wales.) Didn't have time to check out the 19th hole but our group will be playing there again in a few days and I plan to check it out.

The greens are in pretty good shape but were very, very slow on 2/5/29.

If you're comparing this with some of the high dollar courses in the central Florida area, then I agree. However, this course provides an opportunity to play a reasonably well maintained course at an affordable price. I just don't think you're giving them a fair shake.

If Cows Could Golf ......

The only time I write a review is when I'm pleasantly surprised or extremely disappointed with a course. As I'm sure you can guess from my Title the later applies. The only thing missing on this course was the cows to keep the rough trimmed back. The fairways were cut and for the most part provided enough grass in between the weeds to place your ball on. There were some large holes located around the greens and on the sides of some of the fairways where they threw some sand in to serve as bunkers but the edge of the bunkers were not defined so I wasn't quite sure where they started and ended. Pitch marks (Holes) in the greens among the weeds provided a terrific obstacle course when putting on the furry ( 5 Stimp ) greens. Adding to the difficulty of the greens, the superintendent decided to water the greens at 2PM just to provide a water hazard - I'm sure. All in all I would highly recommend that you should stay clear of this course. It wasn't worth the $22.00 we paid - As a matter of fact it wasn't worth the gas It took to drive there.

unprofessional

Went to the lady in the pro shop to address a problem with them placing people ahead of us on holes teeing off. We had to wait after every shot, due to her placing them off on the back nine. All she did was roll her eyes around like a lil girl and say she's sorry. Really? We couldn't finish our round due to all the players she let tee off in front of us! All she cares is about the money that these groups are paying and could care less about the few. We play a lot of courses and never seen such poor course management like this one! Found out upon leaving this person is the manager. We wont be back !

Not bad

Got the deal through golf now and was a solid deal. The course is very peaceful and is an open layout. Course conditions were average but for a peaceful round of golf I would go again. Some of the tee boxes need lots of care along with some of the surrounding areas near or around the greens. Good course for cheap price.
