Fun course to play

For a beginner this course had it all without too much difficulty. Only issue was a lot of fire ants around the course. Had to take relief to keep from standing in ant bed on edge of fairway and around bunkers by greens; otherwise, we enjoyed the course and look forward to playing again.

Great for high handicapped or beginner.

The grass was mown, but full if weeds. Not much difference between the fairways and the tees and greens. The greens were really rough. A golf ball shouldn't bounce like a rubber ball on the greens. The back nine has no concrete cart paths, just dirt trails. Won't waste my time, or money, on this hackers course ever again.

poor servise

I arrived 1 hr prior to my tee time. I checked in, hit balls on range, and putted before by tee time. Finish about 30 min before my tee time. There was no teeing off so I as to gor early but the lady told me I had a two some and a four-sum ahead so I had to wight. I waited 20min before the four-sum got there and then tee off. I waited 10 more mins before by time with no one tee off. Poor tee management

Pleasantly Surprised

From NL Canada. Been playing this course 3-4 times per year over the last 8 yrs. It's always been ok but and not great. But a couple of years ago the greens started to look green but long and was ok for money spent. Just ok

This latest round was my first of 2024. They have started to slightly cut down the greens Still slow but sooo much more enjoyable. The tee boxes and fairways are great value for money spent

It's always difficult to read into what folks give as reviews. Is it the local guy upset, the unrealistic traveler or the course staff over promoting

I can tell you I would consider this latest round my best value for money spent at a Fl course in the area the past 5 years

For the first time I actually started looking at the course and it's a fun play. Water yes, but strategic and not massive drives or irons to avoid. Nicely placed bunkers. Small and cared for. You feel like you wanna take em after you play from them. Dog legs

To the course. Keep up your efforts. A couple of greens need work but you can sense they have a plan

April 14th

Grass conditions surrounding the greens was poor. A lot of dirt and sand spots. I believe grass is being cut too short in this area therefore its starting to dry up and die. Sand traps also need more attention. Some edges of the traps are being taken over by weeds and runners of grass.

Good layout - slow greens

The course is in very good shape and it is a good layout. Not sure why the greens were painfully slow.

You can tell this place once the place to play. All in all the course was in good shape and I enjoyed my round. The down side the course is that there is no drink cart and the pro shop was less than desirable, not much to offer.

Great prices and a good course, just a little out of the way

The address says Lake Wales, but the course is well outside the town proper. Coming down from Kissimmee on a regular basis isn't an option, but for a course in good condition (which this is) and at these prices at this time of year, it is definitely worth the trip a couple or more times per year. It's really nice to see an approach shot release from it's landing place (especially when playing to front pins). The course is green, but not overwatered. The greens are a little shaggy, but with their contours that's probably needed. The course is well bunkered, a few of them not clearly visible from the tee will make playing to course a second time an opportunity to put what you learned to good use.

Several of the holes offer choices between playing to specific positions (which are reasonable) versus risk reward shots to cut corners. This increases the strategy element of the course.

This is a rare find in Florida, a course that is worth more than what you paid!
