Very nice layout

Very nice verity of holes, but a bit thin on the fairways..greens have a few to many low cut weeds,and from the staff ,the owners are going to shutdown the course for a complete rebuild. I only hope they don't increase the price after their done..it's the only course north of Leesburg, that's got some elevation changes, sort of like sanctuary ridge in Clermont. Staff is very nice & helpful..and the proshop is firstclass..

Decent Course near the villages

I wish it was a bit cheaper. Course layout is tight hole to hole not much buffer between the holes. Plenty of elevation made for a different course experience compared to the golf courses nearby. The greens are SUPER small, and over all they were in decent shape.

Aerification

There should be some way either golf now or the course you are wanting to play, could let the players know the greens were just aerified, the blame for this is on Golf Now and Water Oaks or any other course for not letting players know before the round is booked and paid for,,, the greens were terrible, and from the looks were not very good before the aerification, golf course is basically a weed farm, the management company that is, if still there, contract should be terminated!!!
