3 Nine Hole Courses, Great Value

I enjoy the layout of this course. Courses A and C are my favorite. 3 courses mean every time you visit it is a different experience. Friendly staff and bar/restaurant is above average for most courses in the area. Hole C3 is my favorite.

Better Signage and Starter at beginning of round required!

We had a beautiful day matching up with another couple from Ohio! There was some confusion with no Starter being posted at the beginning of hole #1. The course direction from hole to hole could be better marked with more signage as one can tend to get lost from hole to hole. We had a fantastic day playing with this couple and ended up staying for liquid refreshment and dinner, watching from the balcony overlooking the 9th hole on the A course. I would recommend this course to all. One of the best city courses we have played in Florida!

What a pleasant surprise!

Take the time to drive around this charming area of Lakeland; some beautiful homes! The course itself was immaculate - maybe needed some more sand in a few bunkers. Otherwise, very good and very close to spring training!

A very nicely laid out old municipal course. Would benefit with a ranger: 2'45" for 9 holes is too long; fivesomes and sloooooow foursomes spoiled an otherwise enjoyable round.

Michael, we are sorry for the pace of play issue that you had a CHGC. It has been pretty busy and we were down a ranger this past week as he volunteered at the PGA Valspar Golf Tournament at Innisbrook. Please contact me at 863-834-2379 and come on out to play CHGC again before you go back to Michigan. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Thanks so much for the feedback and kind words. The Bermuda grass in the fairways goes dormant in the winter months as we do not over seed the fairways with Rye grass. The cooler temperatures and the lack of rain during this time of year keeps the Bermuda off color. We look forward to seeing you back at CHGC in the future. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Sunday morn round

Once we made it past the Starter it went better. Starter seemed to be over whelmed or confused trying to start 3 different 9's. With 3 nines a,b and c, who to start where, then where to turn? Arrived 30 min early tee'd off 15 min late. The course was in good shape for Feb. Greens fast an hard. Overall we enjoyed our round.

Mark, thanks for the feedback. I spoke with staff about the Sunday issues. We have a new starter who is doing a real good job, but got hit pretty hard Sunday. Instead of keeping the rotations from course to course he moved some groups to other nines causing some back-ups. This has been addressed moving forward. We have a great team here and sorry for any inconvenience to you and your group. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Poor Golf Management

Played the Heights for the first time in two years. Day was horrible from the start. The course tried to jam early morning tees times out ahead of a scramble to the point were fivesomes were playing on the course. The starter was cantankerous and didn't have the time of day for us, other than to say "get on the box, you're next off" . The ranger was out in the morning but never saw him in the afternoon. The threesome in front of took 5-10 minutes per shot, waiting from 220+ yds to hit their second shot to the green and then dribbled it 10 yards. Round took 4 hrs 30 mins to play. I confronted the starter after our round and he had nothing to say but, "we tell everyone to expect 2 hrs per nine" Been golfing for 30+ years, WORST course management I have ever witnessed. You can guarantee I will spread a negatice word about The Heights to my fellow golfers on MacDill Air Force Base.

Thanks for the feedback. Green speeds are a little slower during the Winter months as we over seed them. The rye grass protects the Bermuda grass from the cold weather and the volume of play we get from December thru April. There is a couple of areas that sod was replaced. Stop by and say hello on your next visit. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Cleveland Heights Lakeland Fl.

Nice layout but somewhat confusing with the number of hole crossovers for the 3 nines. Course in good shape, greens were excellent and pace of play impressive. We were 3 hours and 15 minutes. Will definitely return.

A nice find

Booked Cleveland Heights last minute while awaiting car repair in Lakeland. Pleasantly surprised by a nice course (VERY women friendly for a change of pace from the longer tracks I've been playing in Central Florida). Friendly staff, course in good condition, and paired with an especially nice couple made for a VERY nice day (except that the car dealership didn't look at our car after a 3-day wait).
