Keep the ball in play
Course has a few temporary greens and existing greens slow but fairways ok. Very short on some par 5's but fun!
Greens Need Work
Greens need work but it's not a country club so dont have high expectations.
nice day had by all
Everything was good except the greens really need work. Many had big pieces of sod on them.
Poor conditions
I would of rather putt on the beach over the greens. They were awful between the sand and the new grass set that wasn't even level with the rest of the green. Will never play that course again.
Nice layout of a golf course
Great place to play golf. Carts are in great shape.
Real Nice Course
The lay out of the course is very nice. When i played they were in the middle of redoing some of the greens.
i would like to play later in the season when the greens are completed.
Fair course and ok got the money
First 5-6 greens were horrible but vastly improved as round went on. Short course but some challenges from tips. Play was extremely slow ...twosome ahead of us with one being new player and dropping 2-3 balls . Group behind us called clubhouse but no sign of marshal. The hole layout makes play slow.
Chi Chi's
overall condition was ok, greens were a little sparse on some holes, overall was worth playing though
winter
This course is always in great shape and is a good value for winter golf.
Great for the money
I enjoyed the round of gold, but the course was not in great condition.
Enjoy layout, women's tees fair.
We like this course. The staff is friendly and only once was okay slow, luckily the group causing the problem only played nine. The course has several challenging holes where shot making is a must but for the most part it is somewhat forgiving to the average player. Just enough water and sand to keep you honest.
Aweful pace of play
Tee time delayed 15 minutes because of frost in the a.m. Started 25 minutes late, waiting for a golf cart. Facility had to wait for golfers to finish to use the golf cart for golfers to start. Foursomes stacked from the start, pace of play 20/25 minutes per hole. Par 3 had four foursomes waiting. Horrible pace of play, never got better, only got worse. After nine holes, some foursomes quit and pace of play was about 15 minutes per hole. Lots of water hazards and sand traps. Just do not need all the water and sand. Shorter course with narrow fairways. Five and half hour round ruined the beautiful weather and cute/moderately challenging course. Chalk another new course on my belt to never attempt to play again.
shotmakers golf course
course is very short,but puts a premium on putting your tee shots in the right place. Plenty of water holes to keep your interest up. Fairways were OK, but the rough was a little spotty. The starter was very nice, we were a little early on the first tee, but he managed to get us out before our tee time. Its afun course to play as long as you keep your ball on the course.
Fun Course
Played with my sister and we had a great time. She was visiting from up north. I would recommend to any golfer that likes to enjoy a round of golf. We played 18 holes.
Good value for the price
This course is a good value for the price in the St.Petersburg/Clearwater area.
Value for the money
Course was in good shape. It is a short course with the gold tees only about 4100 yards and the blacks about 5400, but enjoyable to play. As a mediocre golfer and wife playing with a boot, we both played better than our handicap. Greens were a little sparse in places but putting surfaces were relatively true. Water was there but not overly obtrusive. Good value for the money.
Great over all, problems at start
As an average golfer with a high handicap I found this course worth playing. It was very challenging at mine and my wife's level.
The staff was very friendly helping us out on our first time. However, we did have a problem at the start. Our tee time was set for 1:04. We requested to go early if possible. we were given the choice to pair up with two others or go with just the two of us just before them. Because my wife is very new at golf she didn't want to hold up better players plus she was uncomfortable with others watching. Again, we were given a choice to go with just the two of us. The starter did not give us a choice and told us that the pro shop rep stated we had to pair up. I attempted to explain to him we wanted to go alone or go back to our original 1:04 tee time. He wouldn't budge. While this is not a deal breaker for future rounds we will not do that again.
The following statements are not complaints. It is just and FYI for golfers to be prepared and plan accordingly.
The driving range is across the street. If you need to warm up come early. The driving range is not located on the pro shop side. On the pro shop side is an area for putting practice and some chipping.
There is no beverage cart that comes around. Bring your own or bring a small cooler to put beverages in that you buy at the pro shop.
No beer served because there is a school on the premises.
There is a pro shop at the driving range which is really nice and the range looks great with allot of various targets. They also have plenty of opportunities to get lessons
Again, overall all a great day of golf.
Chi Chi Rodriguez course
The course was clean and well marked. There areas that were muddy and poorly drained even though there has been very little rain recently.
