Wet and muddy

There’s been a lot of rain lately but Schalamar seems to not drain as well as neighbouring courses. All the green surrounds were muddy and a great deal of casual water everywhere. It’s a good layout requiring precision off the tee. If you can keep it in play you can score. It’s always a fun track but would play other courses if the conditions as wet as they have been. I play it about once a year and don’t recall it being this wet. Most tee shots and missed approach shots plugged.

Decent.. but very wet.

To start, I’d reconsider golfing here if heavy rain is forecasted a day or two before playing. It was soggy wet in many places.

Greens could definitely use some work aside from being wet.

I enjoyed the layout and conditions of the back nine better.

Course layout is pretty nice all around though, just needs some attention in the greens specifically.

If it wasnt soaked throughout the course it would’ve been a more enjoyable time but we had fun anyways.

For $40, it’s not a bad course if it was dry throughout. The biggest thing I would improve is the greens if I could.

Overall probably a 3.5 star course for what I experienced yesterday. I would return on a dry week.

Only during DRY conditions

To start with. The course probably should have been closed for the Day because of WET Conditions. It had rained (hard) for 1.5 hours prior to our 10:38 tee time. The course had "Cart Path Only" signage everywhere. Standing water on MOST fairways. Hit the ball, watch for the splash, go retrieve ball from standing water or plugged lie. Lots of laughs after a swing and a mug shower. We endured, and finished our 18 hole round.

The course was not nearly as narrow as we had expected. The layout was fairly good. Play was slow (some because of conditions, but some because of locals ignoring course edict ie 6 some).

We decided to try the course again, but only after a couple of weeks of NO rain :>)

Best bang for your buck I’ve found so far

I’ve only been playing golf for about four months now, but I played a few courses local to me in Central Florida and this one so far is the best bank for your book. The employees to work here are super accommodative. I got stuck between a female group somehow and they ended up letting me play a few more holes after finish finishing up 18 so it’s pretty nice.
