Big Improvement

I haven't played this course in a few months. I love the course but have been disappointed the past a few times by how bad the condition of the course was. What a difference an owner that cares and knows what they're doing can make! The greens were amazingly better! Lots of subtle improvements throughout with many more to come I'm told. They are sitting on a goldmine so close to the Villages. Nice job!

Pleasantly impressed.

The course is in much better condition than when we played it two years ago, especially the greens. The pro shop had an adequate representation of golf-related items for sale, and the restrooms were clean, which my wife especially appreciated. We will definitely return.

Lots of water

It was very challenging. I would recommend this course to a friend and I also plan on playing it in the near future. We had a rain out so we could not play the last four holes.

Course is in beautiful condition

I saw the bad reviews but also saw that it was under new ownership and you can clearly tell the new owners have put a lot of time and effort into making this a great course. The greens were in excellent shape and the course overall was very nice. Staff was super friendly and I got in 18 holes in 2 hours 15 minutes playing alone.

The new owners are working very hard to get this golf course in shape it has improved considerably.

I play this course at least once a week. Over the last two seasons it has improved greatly. Thank goodness the new owners are working hard to improve this course.

Wait for improvements!

Course is under new ownership and some improvements have been made. Greens and fairways are not in good shape. I would not recommend this course to a friend! Hopefully the new owners will make improvements soon. This was always one of our favorite courses to play.

Not Again

Just found out this was an executive course for the review. Greens were in horrible shape with sand and weeds on the front 9. Back 9 greens looked good, but were so wet that the ball had a rooster tail and came back covered in grass seed. Rest of the course was dry. Picked this place for proximity to lunch spot

Hmmm

Price was right given short course. Greens are full of crab grass and making a putt is nearly impossible. Staff super friendly. Carts great. Pace was slow on back 9 bc 2 groups went off back as we made the turn.
