pleasantly surprised

I thought the course was in good shape, greens are nice sized and putted true. Fairways had grass and weren't cut short like most Florida courses. Staff were friendly. A 27 hole course so can be a bit confusing but the layout was nice. Not a lot of water and the bunker were ok. Would play again.

Nice greens , they roll so true.

Great staff we had wrong day on GN and they took care of us anyway. So nice that I told the GM of the course and he was going to thank them. You must know your carrier distances the greens are elevated and you won’t roll them on.

Gem of a course.

When you drive up to this course it has a private club look. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Played in a 3some and pace was great. Just under 4 hours and the course was busy. Like most Florida courses this time of year, the greens were nice and the fairways were a little thin.

There are 3 nines and I played the Azelea/ Camelia combo. Not a walk in the park, some nice challenges mixed with some wider holes. An unexpected gem in the area.

Not my favorite

Although the staff was nice, the course is not on my list to play again. Greens were hard and would not hold even high shots. Fairways were average at best.

Fairways improving

The greens are in great shape as always. The fairways are filling in with the recent rain and are in fair to good shape. Always a fun course.

Got a good deal on the price on an early tee time. It was crowded but we got started on time and pace of play was good. Love the course layout.

Good value.

The city keeps the course in good condition. With three sets of nine holes, it is easy to obtain a tee time and maintain a reasonable pace of play.

Nice Experience

This was my first time playing this course and it was well worth the trip. I was able to get a pretty good deal through golf now and went with a friend who is familiar with the course. First, the club house and facilities are very nice. The people were very welcoming and friendly. Next, the driving range. It is ok. It is very short. I was not able to hit much more than a 7 iron. No driver warm up for sure. Not a huge deal to me though as I am more concerned with just getting the muscles warmed, not particularly to practice a particular club. Finally the course. There are 3 nine hold courses so they tell you which courses to play if you are doing 18 holes. The course is in good shape and challenging. The fairways are cut a little short for my liking but overall not too bad. The greens are in good shape and are maybe a little slower than I am used to but they roll good. The biggest negative is the course markings. Trying to figure out where to go was a challenge. The signs to guide you around the course from one tee box to the next were horrible. Once you figure out where you are going however it is a pleasurable course to play. Our only problem was the foursome in front of us for about the first 7 or 8 holes. Very slow, waiting for each member of the group to hit then drive to the next ball and wait and so on. Finally the ranger came along and talked to them and that helped a little and then they let us play through on the 9th so we were able to get ahead of them and it was clear sailing from then on. After the first 18 we stopped and had lunch and then inquired about playing 9 more on the third course we had not tried yet. We were able to add that on and play 9 more for a bonus to the day. All in all it was a great day. I would highly recommend giving this course a try if you are in the Lakeland area and have never tried it.

picturesque course

This is a municipal facility with a confusing layout.There are 3 nines that crossover each other so you really have to pay attention to the signs pointing you to your next hole(although those can be deceiving).The conditions are alright but what you might expect at a municipal,bad traps poor drainage but greens are good tees are ok.The reason I give this a poor review is the staff Pro shop attendant no greeting just what do you want..The starter was rude barking at me because I didn't know my cart#,shouting to where to go.Played with another single on front then paired with another twosome on back.Then when we turn we're stuck behind his buddies playing the wrong tees and playing slower than turtles.This course would probably be better played in the summer as it seems it gets plenty of play but with shorter par 4's in the peak season there will be lots of waiting especially if the starters friends are clogging up the course.There are better courses in the area with better prices.

The course was in good shape, except that some greens were a bit rough and not consistent for speed. I enjoy the course generally.

Walter, thanks for the positive feedback and we appreciate you playing CHGC. We have been overseeing the golf course the past 3 weeks (9-holes per week) with Winter Rye Grass to protect the Bermuda grass over the Winter months. It takes about 2 weeks for the rye to grow in and get it mowed to heights we want for green speed. Come back and see us after the New Year. Thanks Brock Witmyer (GM)
