Nice course for the price!

This is a nice course. The greens are still a little rough but the course overall, is much better than it was a year ago.

Summer golf

Anyone playing a public golf course in Florida during the summer has to accept that the course is not going to be the pristine courses you see on TV. Spruce Creek is in very good shape for a moderately priced round in July in Fl. Yes, a few greens had bare spots and the fairways were hard and a little weedy in places but that did not diminish the round. Had a great time. Excellent course for under $35.00. My only criticism is that the sand traps need to be tilled, they are too hard so it’s hard to get under the ball. If you’re not a scratch golfer you should give Spruce Creek a shot.

Course is adequate for the money

I was able to grab an $18 rate so headed on over. The course is in rough shape in some areas. Plan on winter rules all over. I felt it was good enough for what I paid. Friendly staff and nice bar. I’ll go back for that price.

Pace of play is a big deal with me. And as far as I can tell no one was up on golf etiquette. Took over 5 hours to play 18 .

Downhill fast

No maintenance of course notable over last year

Greens filled with weeds and crabgrass

Putting and chipping areas not usable

It feels like Lakeside two years ago

It was once a decent course

Greens taken over by weeds

While I've always like the layout of the course, the greens have never been is worse shape. The weeds are taking over many of the greens which makes putting difficult. Come play for a challenge and good value relative to cost, but don't expect much of the greens.

Sand

Had to play front twice. There was as much sand on the greens as in the bunkers. Literally very little grass to putt on. Narrow course, could be fun, just picked a bad day.

Cow pasture

The course layout is great, but it’s like playing on a cow pasture. Greens were in the worst shape possible. They put so much sand on them. It was like putting on the beach. Tee boxes are full of weeds and tall grass.. even around the Green. The grass was Saint Augustine grass with weeds and head grass growing in the bunkers.
