The ninth hole runs only 339 yards, but the dangerous approach must cross a pond. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 03/13/2026
-
Seen from behind the green, a view of the 13th. This par-3 measures 125 yards and plays to an island green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 03/13/2026
-
Seventeen is a fine driving hole. Off the tee is trouble both right and left, and the fairway narrows after the prime landing zone. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 03/13/2026
-
If one hole is most likely to wreck your card, it is the par-4 18th (index #1), whose large water hazard threatens both the drive and second shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 03/13/2026

From fairway eighteen, a view of the green complex at dusk. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 03/13/2026

Judging by its pancake-like shell, this appears to be a Florida softshell turtle, who was traveling cautiously from pond to pond across the eleventh tee. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 03/13/2026
-
A superlative short par-3, the fourth features a raised and well-contoured green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 02/20/2026
-
At the par-4 tenth, it takes a straight drive to find this narrow fairway. It’s not unusual, though, to find the water. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 02/20/2026
-
Fifteen just may be the finest par-3 at Schalamar. Measuring as long as 224 yards, it demands an excellent shot for a GIR. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 02/20/2026
-
2nd Hole: Par-5, 519 yards: The driving zone allows for a slashing drive off the tee, but on the second shot (viewed here) the fairway narrows like an hourglass. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 02/18/2025
-
6th Hole: Par-3, 180: A lengthy bunker nabs misplayed shots to the right and front of green six, as seen from the woodland. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 02/18/2025
-
9th Hole: Par-4: Although 339 yards, this index 6 hole challenges you on every shot. A hook off the tee spells deep,watery trouble. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 02/18/2025
-
Running as long as 400 yards, the 10th threatens not only with a daunting array of hazards—water, sand, trees, OOB–but also a tight fairway. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 02/18/2025
-
This large pond encircles what is virtually an island green at the par-3, 125 yard thirteenth. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 02/18/2025
-
The # 6-index hole, fourteen features a brilliant design, a trio of well-placed bunkers, and a long, lateral water hazard. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 02/18/2025

Leave time for the round
It’s summer, no snow birds, but due to the very affordable rate to play, and the layout is fun, staff is friendly, there are just hackers everywhere. Took us 5+ hours around noon to play.

Short and narrow
This is not a long course. It is very narrow with lots of trees on front 9. Opens up a bit more on back 9 but not much. With no one in front of me I played 18 in just over 2 hours.

Excellent Value. Great Condition.
This course is a hidden gem. It is well maintained and provides a lot of opportunities to challenge your course management. The course is on the shorter side but the design and layout are a lot of fun. Excellent value for money and the staff were all friendly and helpful.

Bad Shape
I played this course back in January of this year. It was looking better now five months later it’s in bad shape most of the greens. Have too many bad spots on them. You don’t get a true role very bumpy fairways and tee boxes are not much better. The way it looks right now I wouldn’t pay no more than $10 to play it. It’s a shame because I like this course when it’s in good condition not sure what happened but they got a lot of work to do for it to get better.

Good practice course
If you are looking for a good place to teach a person how to play this would be it. While there is water on every hole and the fairways are tight and the greens can be bumpy all of this makes for a great place to learn. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help. The rates are fantastic too.

Course is in bad shape.
Over priced and terrible from tee to green. Worst greens around the area. I won't be back until I hear things have improved.
