That's what the sign in the pro shop says. Cart paths only due to all the recent rains. Course in great condition just wet!

Wonderful time

Was not too busy because of rain coming in. Ended up behind a foursome while playing solo but the range master moved me along the course to make sure I wasn't spending too much time waiting around.

The play itself was great. Even though some holes play through houses, I never felt as if I was at risk of hitting one.

Can't wait to be back.

The natives are restless

Good course but rather short even from the tips. Finished the round with a foursome in 3:35 minutes. Had a threesome crowding behind us playing shots into the greens while we were walking off the greens. We apperntly had a complaint about pace of play on the 8th tee box at the 1:25 minute mark. The ranger talked to us about the resident golfers complaints, but I feel it was more out of obligation and show than for any real problem, as he stated that our pace was adequate. Overall, the course plays short and can be managed well with irons, greens are better than many in the area, the fairways are well maintained, and the restaurant was fairly priced with the quality of food above average. That said, the round felt rushed and less enjoyable than it otherwise should have been.

Tight and requires different shot making.

Overall good experience. Course is a bit dry but that is due to lack of rain in Fla. greens have good speed and are well maintained.

Will come back and bring my friends.

Nice course

Only issue was tee time was early, but we were told to go off the 10th tee. When we came around to the front we had to wait for two foursomes, one of which were very slow.

The course is overbooked and pace of play is very slow. We were backed up 3 groups on some tees. Marshals do nothing to push things along.

Great course for the money

I’ve played here before and consistently enjoyed each round. Grass is still coming out of dormancy, so the lies were tight. Course play was slow due to early morning tournament, but reasonable.
