Below average course

Played this course with 2 other friends. We were charged more through tee off app than the course normally charges. Which is unpleasant because a “hot deal” is supposed to be an actual deal and not a rip off. Regardless, for the price the course overall was below average. Poor conditions and golf carts that are falling apart. Would not recommend this course again.

Hidden gem.

I don’t live far from this course but I’d never heard of it. Found it on golf now and wasn’t expecting much. However, we were all pleasantly surprised and we’re looking forward to our next round there.

Pleasantly surprised

Greens were quicker than expected. The layout was nice and smooth with barely any carries to worry about. The greens and fairways were in solid shape and didn't have to roll my ball once. I am putting this on my short list of courses to play in Hernando/Citrus/Pasco to play every year I come down. Restaurant closes early though, make sure you get your food and drinks early.

Would pay $15 to play here but not $45+

$45 was what my friends and I paid to play here, and it was definitely not worth the money. There are many other courses in the area that are less money and Much better. The fairways are poor and it is difficult to differentiate between the fairways and the rough. We found ourselves hitting fairways but having to move our balls to get a decent patch of grass to hit off of. The greens are bumpy and very patchy, consistent with a low end 9-hole course. I have never written a bad review in my life but I can’t help but feel robbed after paying top dollar to play at a sub par course. The only upside of the course is that they offered free range balls. This was our first time playing here and we will not be coming back.

Good, not great

Greens LOOKED iffy, but putted well and pretty fast

Course had a good layout

This time of year most courses in central Florida have a tough time keeping decent grass on the fairways. This was no exception.

Nice area/housing around the course

Well maintained older course

Nicely maintained older course. This is the first time playing the course, I was very surprised, it is a hidden gem. Pace of play could have been better ,but I was a single that didnt get paired up with anyone. That is the chance you take as a single player. That's why I gave it 2 star for pace.
