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.

Some of the greens were in poor shape in spots, but pace play was good. Very hot and humid by the time we finished up. I will play there again.

course is well lid out

Played 18 holes on June 19 2014 the course was in good condition the greens were good with only an occasional bare spot great for this time of year played the white tees as I am a senior golfer and had a junior golfer in my threesome. the staff was great and the resturant had good food. our play time was good as there were not many people in front of us. the only down side is the course has 5 holes that are through the development and a little tight. the other 13 holes run through a beautiful forest area with small lakes in abundance. great course for the money

Great challenge!!

Short does not mean easy! This course plays 6100 from the tip but has a great layout. Position your tee shot correctly if you want a direct approach shot into the green. The greens were air-raided and on their way back when I played and if they would have been intact, I would have rated this 4 stars!! A must play, if you are in the area.

This course provides a great challenge.

I would not let the yardage determine rather this course is going to be easy. If it is short, know that something is going to make it a challenge. I love the quietness and the peacefulness of this course. Too much rain is not good for this course.

Played the Blue Tees. Not very long. More of a "target golf" kind of course. Plenty of water and traps. Great day!

Great staff and course

This course has some challenges with the front 9 going through woods and the back 9 going through the houses. Lots of water. It has some short par 4's but placement of drives is key. The staff was great, the starter was especially helpful and nice. I definitely will return and recommend this course to others.

Hurry up and wait

Got to the course hour before tee time to hit some on the range. Starter came over and told us we were next up, tee time was for 11:03am it was only 10:38. Now normally not a problem but for some reason we had a foursome just teeing off and a three some on the green. Slow play for the round still can't figure out what the rush was all about. I enjoy playing there however this has left me shaking my head.

Lots of water!

The course conditions were good except that it had rained very hard the day before and there was a lot of casual water on the course, we had to keep the carts on the cart path which added to it taking over 5 hours to play.
