Great Value

Layout is awesome, plenty of challenging holes and a few not so challenging.

One green had some issues, but it is getting better.

Great layout. Course coming back. Staff exceptional

I play spruce creek about once a week. It is definitely not the best course in the area but by far the most value. The green fee is under 25 most days and you can play as long as you want. Literally played through the Hurricane the other week and not one word was said. The staff here is amazing and I will continue to go here because they care.

Late afternoon play

Coarse is in better shape than the last time I play in July. Most of the greens are in good shape and the fairways and rough are mowed appropriately. Good value for the price.

WAY TOO SLOW!!

The shame is that some groups of more than 4 are allowed to play as a group. I am sure they are regulars and believe they are not slowing anyone down. However, almost 5 hours to finish a round is ridiculous! The course is still struggling with some of its greens starting to get bare...

Much improved

This course continually improves. I’m can say the majority of the greens are smooth similar to Candler Hills or Sky View. The fairways are better than the past. The staff has made improvements to the property. Keep up the good work!

Good Bones

Many possibilities to resurrect this course. It will take hard work and $ to get this track “on course” You can tell it was better years ago. Greens are the best feature. Can’t guarantee you will see the deer walk up to you on the 2nd hole.

Very good course for the money

Pace of play was excellent at 3 hrs. Narrow fairways, need to be accurate. Greens were generally good, a few had bad spots. Tees need to be scalped. Fairways in decent shape considering the summer heat. Overall a great value. Will play this one again.

Okay?!

We love to play courses that are having a hard time. And this did not disappoint!! The course is mostly crab grass but the oaks trees are gorgeous. It’s sad because you can see what it was and could be. Overall the people were nice the pace was great but the course needs lots of maintenance that would cost millions to repair. Not sure what will happen to it.

Greens were smooth, made 7 birdies

Like the price at $20.Greens are pretty good compared to others in the area. Tight driving corridors, lots of overhanging limbs with Spanish moss.Nice routing, good par 3's and par 5". Fairways and rough need some work. But I keep coming because of the greet price

Poor course condition

Fairways full of weeds and unkept. Rough not mowed at all in weeks. Greens were in poor condition except a handful. Cow pastures with greens.

Good deal at $20

Greens are in nice shape compared to other courses in area. Very challenging off the tee, you need to drive it straight here with lots of overhanging trees. Par 5's are good test. Par 3 eleventh is my favorite hole, smallish green set over a pond. Fairways and rough need some help, but for only $ 20 , good enough. I have' played here three times in the last 30 days
