Nice, short track

Greens were quick, fairways sparse and rough pretty weedy.. After we played through a really slow 4some we played in just over three hours. Short, even from the tips, narrow with a lot of water. Next time will be better as the hazards are not easy to see.

Upset playing at Schalamar...

We haven't played there since 2018 bc I couldn't fine a tee time with Hot Deals. Then, they weren't posting any tee time on GolfNow. When I saw this, I was able to use the buy one/get one code bc it was after 12. It was busy, slow pace. What we felt was unfair was that there were a group of 2 or three getting ready to play and then someone would ride up and say...."oh, there George, I'll go play with them", so that made waiting even longer. Nice course, staff friendly and the residents were also friendly but, for a 45 minute drive.....we'll pass. Very nice course.

P.S.....I birdied the first hole and then my husband birdied, too!!

Course has a lot of hole that will have you thinking to choose best shot. Plenty of water but always a route for all golfers. Driving range is into a sizable pond - great fun !!

It's Hard To Find The Good

I could go into detail about how disappointing my overall experience was, but suffice to say if I were on my death bed and the doctor offered me 4 more hours of life in exchange for a round at this course, I'd tell him to "pull the plug."

(Besides, at the pace my round played I'd only get 12 holes into it anyway.)

Hello, John8679704. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We with the recent rain we are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens from the water on the course.

We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Schalamar Creek Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Great day for a round

The morning we had a rain storm my tee time was at 3pm and the course was a little wet but it was expected the greens drained excellent and rolled perfectly and the fairways were a little soft you could play lift clean and place,golf carts clean and ready to go,I think there is 4 hydration stations per side and nice 2 holes in the woods called the Gators jaw. I haven’t played in a long time and it’s coming back to me. This course is why I love golf so much this course has every type of situation you want. Great Course !!!!

Strategic but short

There were some short holes (320 yards or less. Club selection is necessary due to tight landing areas.A few green were slower but most were consistent. Played with nice group of regulars.

Not a 4 - star course

This is no where near a 4 star course. Yes it was reasonable cost however don’t expect the same condition as other in the 4 star region. Probably just below average condition.
