Slow play

The pace was terrible and no ranger had a foursome in front of me held everybody up and no ranger to be found. This was a reason that I didn’t want to work there I can only imagine being stuck out there for hours if I had played 18.

Good Value, Improved Conditions

Greens have improved dramatically since I played here last. There have been a few other improvements, but the tees and fairways have been about the same as they have been in the past, Not great, but playable. A short course, with mostly par 3's, a few par 4's and one par 5.

An good place at a good price for you to hone your shots. New ownership has made a difference.

Good for the money!

The greens were in decent shape, but the tee boxes and fairways were not so much. However, unlike some areas around(particularly The Villages), for the money, it was about the same conditions, for MUCH LESS! Thanks!
