Courses in very poor condition

I have played this course a few times in the past and it was an okay condition... I played the other day and it was absolutely terrible... There is virtually no grass in the fairways and the greens have dirt and sand and holes in them... 99% of the time you have to hit off of dirt... I would not recommend this course for anyone... The staff is very friendly but the course itself is in very very bad condition

Course condition

Fairways grass is, for the most part, non-existent. Greens a good with only 1 hole being total crap. Pace of play was slower than usual, 4.5 hrs to play all 18. Lady in Proshop is very friendly. Restaurant/Bar staff were amazing!!!

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.

Good condition

The course was well maintained. Due to the time of year and recent cold snap, the course was in good condition. The only resl issue was with I believe was the 12th green where the turf was sparce in some large areas. That was the only issue here and I myself believe that it was due to the location of the course green being amoung a lot of trees and doesn't get adequate sun during the day this time of year. Hats off to the grounds crew on the good upkeep of the course.

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.
