Always most enjoyable

Everything was fine except the greens need work. Lots of weed clumps and quite bumpy. Putt’s did not roll true. Otherwise a good golf experience. Keep up the good work.

Fun Day

This is a really nice layout with some challenging holes. Course is not long but fairways are pretty tight. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately greens are in pretty bad shape meaning putting is almost impossible. Great finishing hole where making par means you have earned a refreshment in the bar!!

Great Time

Traveling between Orlando and Tampa for work, stopped here to play. Enjoyed the layout and laid back environment at the course. There is quite a difference in the 9s. Tree lined front 9 and house lined back 9. I’m a low single digit handicap, only hit a few drivers here. Partly because it’s a short track and mostly because I was too scared to hit houses on the back. Anything slightly off the fairway can hit windows. But it worked out well as I got to hit a bunch of different clubs off the tee which I enjoyed. Nice island green on the back. A lot of water throughout so you have to be pretty accurate. I’d definitely play again if ever traveling though. $20 for 18 holes and basically had the course to myself on a hot afternoon.

Good Day

Basically had the course to myself with a 11am tee time. Course is in good shape except for the greens right now. They are transitioning from the over-seed to the Bermuda for the summer, so they are a little bumpy and not the smoothest roll in some spots. When the greens come back, this will be a great place to play in the summer. I will be back.

Great course!

Tee’d off around 3pm on a Friday and had the course to myself! That doesn’t happen much in FL! Great course that’s open to the public! Narrow fairways and plays short from the whites but challenging for an intermediate player. I will be back!

Fun and well kept

Course had different look each hole; it was fun to play. Really appreciated the course book they provided (no charge) which detailed each hole with a recommendation from the pro how to play each hole.

worthy for sure

This is not the most challenging course but due to the layout and narrow fairways it will force you to hit it straight. Very friendly staff and water available throughout, which helps during the hot fla days. Some of the greens need repair but very playable and staying on the fairway is a must. i will defiantly go back

Different but good

Front nine is great...pretty open and gives you the choice to hit long irons off the tee or be risky with a driver. Back nine has a lot short par 4's that require 150-200 yards off the tee then 150-200 yards into the green (lots of tight doglegs with no way to cut the corner). Tee boxes are in average shape but the fairways and greens were well kept. Would be a fun scramble/best ball course with the boys.
