Good value on the weekend

Had a great time. We got there early but got right out. The starter was very friendly and helpful. We stayed for drinks and early supper. Limited menu but food was good and the portions large. Plan on going back soon.

Good Find!!

Tried this course for the first time and must say its a great little track! It's a short layout but very tight layout. Only plays 6,000 from the back and 5,500 from the middle but don't let the yardage fool you! Can play tough if your not straight! Great for the money and nice area! Worth a try and would play again now that I'm familiar with the course a bit!

Plays tougher than 6100 yards

This course is set in a 55+ community, and certainly caters to the residences there, with some residents "past their prime" of playing 7000+ yard courses. They do have many tee boxes, but the longest is 6100 yards. While I normally tend to play 6600 - 7000 yard courses, I found the black tees (6100 yards) quite challenging. From this distance, the landing area for 230-270 yard drives is quite narrow. So, choose your driver to risk the reward, or club down on a couple of the tee shots.

The approach shots are challenging on a few holes, and greens are excellent condition, and on many holes, green reading is a must.

A very pretty course. Greens in excellent shape. Folks are very friendly. Certainly recommend if in the area, and not in need of a long course.

GREAT GREENS AND TIGHT.

THE NEW GREENS WERE GREAT. VERY TRUE AND SMOOTH. THE COURSE IS TIGHT,SO BRING YOUR LONG DRIVING FRIENDS WHO ARE NOT ACCURATE AND BEAT THEM EASILY. KEEP THE BALL IN THE FAIRWAY AND YOU WILL BE GREAT WITH A LOW SCORE,

First Class

Played the course twice this month. This is a first class course and a first class operation. The fairways and greens were well maintained and not tricky. For an average golfer like myself there were not a lot of hazardous areas. Never went into the war we except for the island green and that was only the first time. The community was very well kept up and the people were very courteous and friendly.

Nice, short, shot maker course always in great condition.

Coarse was as expected great shape, but pace of play was horrible, we were a twosome behind a foursome that was oblivious to the fact they were slow. Two holes open in front of them after 5 holes. Never let us play through, ranger was no help.

Schalamar

Friendly and involved staff. Course in good shape. Some holes too narrow to the point of unfairness. Policy of letting golfers start their rounds on the back nine and making front nine golfers wait for multiple foursomes not good, back nine took over 2.5 hrs. Bathroom facilities on course the best i have seen, ballwashers on most holes

A real gem!

Found a gem yesterday. A beautiful course within a nicely maintained retirement community staffed with very nice people. To top it off, we were paired with a couple of snowbird Schalamar Creek residents who made a wonderful day of golf even better. I play daily while in Florida, and this course ranked among my favorites.

Excellent Course for the money!

I took a buddy from work and we played 18. The staff were super friendly. The driving range is unique in the sense that you are driving into a pond with floating range balls. The course was exceptionally groomed and the layout was challenging but fun. I look forward to going back and playing again sometime.

We teed off from the 10th tee, the greens were not mowed since they over seeded days earlier. Lots of water on the greens so when you putted you actually got a water trail. They knew the conditions but did not let us know prior to paying and arriving at the course. The front nine was better in that they mowed prior to us playing that side. They left the grass high due to the recent seeding.

Short Course

Course makes up for lack of length by being very tight on several Fairways if we play here again I will make sure to play from the black tees.

Back nine holes are closer to a normal coarse for distance. We would play here again if it was closer to where we are staying or if we were going to be in the area but not nice enough for a long drive.

$25.00 all in is the maximum I would pay to play here.

Course has a great layout

They had a shotgun tournament in the morning , we had a 1:26 tee time,they 2 more little tournament that afternoon with people going off 1 and 10,we were put behind 6 foursomes of ladies,took 3 hours to play nine holes,tried to skip in front of the slowest foursome of all time,they went crazy and came after us when we were down the fairway , way to packed went home after 11 holes,also members don't like to see outsiders play their course went to range and all members just stared at us,not real inviting,need to let golf now know when they do all their tournaments,no fun paying for 18 holes and just playing 11 holes and members being rude,won't be back
