Impressed

First time at this course and glad I went. The pro shop guy at check in and starter (needed due to busy conditions) were both friendly. The scorecard shows lines to take on each hole with multiple distance markers on course. Not the longest course or shortest course but reasonable. Only 7 minute window between groups so pace was at a standstill at times. Will return.

Neil B

Staff very helpful and friendly, carts in good condition and clean. Course a little short only 6000 off the tips but very narrow fairways and a fair amount of water make it very testing, greens a little bare and worn in places but overall a very enjoyable day out. The restaurant and bar were very busy and the food looked excellent .
We will go back!!

Good but often wet...

The course is good, not great. Last played 12/27/14 with some fairways muddy and the greens pathetic. The land is naturally low, with mud found even without recent rainstorms. The greens were more like semi greens with more patches of dormant or dead grass than green grass. Nice course but beware. Conditions can be unfriendly.

fun but tricky

This is a fun course a little tight in the fairways but if your straight of the tee shouldnt be a problem the price was great it got a little slow on the back but if you no the area and time of year that happens everywhere

UK Visitors on vacation

This is the first time we have played the course and was pleasantly surprised at how well the course is maintained. Plenty of water holes! But that's the challenge of it. We both played the same ball all the way round which was a miracle! Would certainly recommend to anyone. The staff were extremely helpful which made our day.

Great golf after good rain

Played morning after big rains day and night before. Everything was working . Some greens needed some help but they take care of course and had cart path only rule due to excess moisture but no puddlest. since I had one of those in the zone rounds, it didn't bother me a bit

Could be better but overall not horrible

We played after some heavy rains the day before but overall not too bad. Greens are ok but definitely needs some weed control. Lost a couple balls in the fairway due to plugging but to be expected considering how wet. No driver needed for longer than average hitters but trying to hit some of the par 4's from the gold tees is fun. Good iron placement course.

Big Things Do Come In Small Packages

This course is short but extremely demanding. It is the epitome of a shot maker's course with tight fairways, smaller greens, traps and water, and interesting elevations.

The best part of this course is the staff. Each and every person who works at this little gem obviously loves their job and they show it. With their attention to detail, their willingness to assist, and the genuine smiles that always display.

But beware of something. Just because it is only about 6400 from the tips does not mean it doesn't have some really tough holes. #11, 12, and 15 will challenge you. But the finishing hole is long and tight. Par on this hole will lead to a fist pump every time!

ms.

first t under total repair. temporary green so lost that hole. very wet conditions not mowed in a few days short tight course which doesnt really matter I thought this was going to be a better course than it was not bad but in rough condition. Also all greens were being aerated and it did not state that when purchasing so putting was tough as well. I might play again with some women friends but my player does not want to go back tooo tight for him. Oh and it has these middle clumps of grass not sure what thats about (circles of rough grass) but hard to get out of and they are near the green.

nice hidden gem of a course

i am a member of a private club in Tampa and occasionally play this course. As always, the staff and fellow golfers are extremely friendly, which makes this place a joy to play. There is no better value for the money, especially in the summer. You can get lunch and a round for $20 bucks. I was impressed the last 2 times I played, as the starter and ranger remembered my name!...I like the tight layout of this course which enables you to use all the clubs in your bag. The only thing is I wish the carts had a club cover. But that is just a minor issue.
