Reno of a couple years ago holds up

Course in good shape. Recent aeration left greens a little slow and bumpy but that will, no doubt. correct quickly. Have enjoyed playing this course since the renovation.

Phenomenal

Came down to visit my parents and play at the villages, couldn’t get in there to play, which turned out to be a blessing in surprise. Came here instead and was pleasantly surprised. From the ease of getting a good tee time to the very nice starter personnel to the friendly residents offering their assistance it was top notch from start to finish. Don’t pair my wife and I up with randoms. You can for the most part drive anywhere on the course unless indicated. Nice elevation changes and good greens. Will 100% come back next visit.

Nice course

Nice course, friendly staff. The hurricane was a blessing in disguise; it forced the course to clear out a lot of debris. I’ve never seen the course so tidy. Losing some trees helped as well.

Nice course, great staff

Not a member, I play there occasionally and the staff knows me by name. Impressive. Course is getting really good, the hurricane forced some much needed trimming.
