Good Golf bad food
I enjoyed the golf course very much.
I got a $18 burger and fries from the restaurant and the whole meal was terrible. I didn’t complain because I was in a discussion with people and didn’t want it to be interrupted. The burger was just not worth it. The fries were hot on the outside but uncooked on the inside. I got the bacon burger and there was hardly any but one piece of bacon cut in half. I would rather have eaten a burger at any fast food place over this.

Picturesque and challenging
Nice little re-design tucked away inside a manufactured home community. Plenty of hills not typical of a Florida course. Tree-lined and narrow on many holes, making accurate shout placement important. Tees, greens and traps in great shape; fairways good to just somewhat fair. Plenty of small depressions on several of the fairways, so watch your cart speed to avoid getting bounced around. Worth a trip if you haven't played here before.
