Worst course in Central Florida

This course has got to be one of the worst maintained courses I’ve ever seen. Tee boxes are ok but a lot are mostly dirt/sand. Weeds everywhere and divots galore. The worst part about the whole course (besides the maintenance crew who barely does their job) are the greens. The greens have got to be the worst I’ve played on. Hole 15 literally has a mini bunker on it. Sand all on the greens and extremely patchy. You will never get a good roll on these greens. Maintenance crew has got to do better. They were literally weed eating the water when me and my buddy drove by them. Carts are weak as well. The only good thing I can say about this course is the customer service from the front desk was great. Maintenance crew needs to be fired though cause they clearly can’t keep a course looking well. If I could vote 0 I would. Never go here. There are plenty of other courses that are way better for nearly the same price. I wish I would’ve taken pictures cause it was awful.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Not much to offer

The Proshop attendant was grumpy and really seemed bothered to serve us. Everything,: Tee boxes, fairways etc was burned out, weedy and unkept. The greens were the worst. Honestly unplayable with weeds and dirt scars on every hole.

Used to be nice course

This course used to be fun and was well maintained, unfortunately that is no longer the case. The fairways are weeds or dirt, the greens are in horrible condition. I would no longer recommend this course. We used to tell friends is was a great place to go. So disappointed that they let this course fall into this condition. Forgot to mention, the tee boxes have gone to weeds and/or dirt. Sad, sad, sad!

Fun short course.

Pretty fun course for a 62 par. The greens were dead a lot on the back 9. Making putting even more frustrating. Golf carts felt slow. But had a good time.

Less than expected

Another golf community that wants money with as little aintenance of the course as possible. Tee boxes full of weeds. Fairways the same. Some greens were actually full of dead grass. The course is very short also. This course is on the verge of being unplayable.

This course started off beautiful, then the back 9 all the greens were absolutely horrible you couldn’t putt on them to save your life! The layout was okay kind of on top of each other though. Full price forget about it I won’t play it but discounted rates I’ll consider it. Forget about getting any food. Restaurant stay closed, and they don’t even try to open it.

$20 tee time, got exactly what I expected.

I would NEVER bash a course that is clearly barely staying afloat but the customer service that I received from the “gentleman” in the pro shop was disgusting. I booked a quick round for my father and I on a slow Sunday morning. Upon arriving at the course I was greeted and I explained to the pro shop that I would have my little sister playing with us as well (9 years old), and was told that it was only a $8 addition, great. I also had the gentleman add on a bucket of range balls after I asked if there was time for us to hit a few balls before our round, in which he explained that the course was slow and we could take all the time we need. Not 3 minutes into hitting balls on the range with my father and my sister a p’d off 65 year old pro shop cashier comes storming out to explain to me with far too much aggression that I have done wrong by paying for the “ride along” fee of $8 when I should have paid the “junior green fee” of $9. Mind you not a single one of the greens has been maintained or seemingly watered for weeks if not months, water features where there shouldn’t be water features and honestly an overall subpar course. After explaining to Mr. High Cholesterol that $1 was no issue for me and that I didn’t appreciate his tone I was then told that for next time that I should “do the right thing” over a $1 misunderstanding on his part. Not worth the $20.

Needs Lots of TLC

Thank goodness my wife payed for this round. The greens were awful. It will be a long time before I come back.

The redemption of the day was playing with 3 other Veterans. I cannot in good conscience recommend this course.

Greens in Poor Condition

This is a nicely laid out course but the greens are in very poor condition. Tough to enjoy a round when putting on dirt patches.
