Nice tight and short

This is a community golf course. You wind through the development. It's a short course but a little tight. Lots of water and out of bounds. If you don't control your drives you can run up your score rather quickly. Nice course had a good time.

Fivesomes should be banned

Took us 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes!! There was a fivesome of inexperienced women in front of us. Took us 3 hours just to play the front nine. Keep the fivesomes off the course.

Short, narrow but fun

This was my first time playing this course. I really enjoyed the round, and the water-driving range with floating golf balls. The course itself is fairly short, about 5,600 yards from the blue tees. The front 9 plays through wooded areas and the fairways are narrow. You definitely want to shoot for accuracy over distance. The back 9 had some very scenic holes including a peninsula par 3.

Pace of play wasn’t bad, we waited on a few holes but most of the time we weren’t waiting at all.

Staff was very friendly and the even gave me a course guide book with Pro tips on how to play each hole.

The course is nice but a bit beat up in particular the fairways and rough. Staff was very welcoming and tried to keep up the pace of play. That being said, I would say you need to be prepared for a longer round when you play. Holes being shorter encourage folks to try shots they should not. It's a very playable course from any tee box .

Course is a challenge due to conditions.

The course is a challenge due to conditions. The turf and grass are hardpan and the ball will deflect on bounces and the rolls are extensive and often leave a shot that is difficult to play with your next shot. Contouring also has the ball rolling to the sides of the fairways and due to the speed of the roll, into the rough. I play here though because the price is reasonable, the staff are super friendly and I like the challenges to keep the ball in play (intended or otherwise).

Pleasant surprise

Canadian in Florida for the winter. Played Schalamar yesterday for the first time. Will not be the last. We were very happy for the price. If you hit it long you better hit it straight. Very narrow course. It is not long at all 6200 yds from the tips. However plenty of trouble to be found. I have one issue with my friends from the USA that play golf Do you even know what a ball repairer is? Why are there so many un repaired ball marks on your greens. C'mon man !!! Really enjoyed it. Would recommend.

Quality course, quality people!

Not only was the course fun and challenging, I can’t say enough good about the staff and locals honesty! I played at Schalamar 4 days earlier and mistakenly left my range finder on the course. I came back to play, asked about it, and it had been turned in as a lost item. The staff is informative and pleasant to chat with and they too speak highly of the honesty of those who are regulars! (They had a local tournament just behind my tee time). Definitely will continue to be one of my regular favorites to play when I am in the area visiting!! Thanks to all!
