Very disappointed

Looks are deceiving. Driving by the course it looks beautiful however all the tee boxes, fairways and greens are nothing but weeds and sand. Nice layout, too bad the course is in such poor shape.

Good Course Overall

The tee boxes leave something to be desired and some of the greens are in bad shape but overall a good course for the money.

Worst fairways I have ever played

Some fairways were nearly devoid of grass with large patches of sand or hard pack dirt. Greens were in better shape. Most golf carts had ripped cushions.

I Like it !

First time playing this course. Played with my brother who was visiting. The course is a nice layout. Greens were a bit chewed up. Pace of play was a bit slow but as a recent Floridian I understand this is the way of life down here. I understand the new management is making improvements and can't wait to see how they progress. Will definitely play again.

Had a great 9 holes!

An afternoon playing golf is always fun and Spruce Creek Preserve is very enjoyable!! The staff is courteous and helpful!

We live in a different 55+ golf course but really like playing at Spruce Creek Preserve! 1. beautiful grounds with lots of rolling hills, large oaks and even wildlife to enjoy!
2. Less crowded. 3. Great value!

And their pub, Oliver’s has cold beer, good food and friendly staff!!

We love the course layout

If the fairways were fixed (Have grass) and a couple of greens. I would bring my group of 24, from the Villages, at least once a month. We play a lot of courses, and we did play here in June and August. In June my guys loved the course, but when they came back in August, they were disappointed with the conditions of the Fairways and Greens. Yes, the price was only $27.00, but most courses we play have rates from $30.00 to $45.00. A few even at $61.00. We don't mind paying a higher price, but the course has to be in decent condition. I will continue to play here with my wife and a friend and his wife, because I love the layout of the course. I just hope they can find the money to fix it up.

Rough

Overall poor shape, no overseeded grass, no water jugs out anywhere. For 20 bucks not bad practice. Would not pay full price to play there, thanks to tee off for the deals.
