Short golf course, but difficult! Very narrow fairways, makes it challenging. It was fun.

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.

It’s tight.

Greens are all pretty decent and that is what matters most. The rest of the course is fair at best.

How slow can golf be??????

Really disappointed that the club ran its own competition on the day we played. First nine took almost three hours!!!!!! Back 9 a little better because most visitors gave up. On the 13th hole we realized the problem, ahead there were groups of 5, each with their own cart, on the hole we saw them they were all over the place. We will never play here again and certainly won't recommend it.
