Nice course

A few holes you need to play smart. But I LIKE it. The white tee's need to back up a little because I can almost drive the green in one.

Schalamar Short but tough

I needed some love to play Schalamar Creek near Lakeland. The tight fairways and great design gave us all a fit. Course is in fine shape, with quick greens, grassy fairways and plenty of trees. We will be back to play this track. Very reasonable prices in the restaurant with friendly service. Starter checked on us and was extremely considerate to the group.

Fun and challenging course

This course is a joy to play. The fairways are tight and water comes into play on many holes. It is a course you need to think your way through. The tee boxes and fairways are very good and well maintained. The greens roll true and at an average speed. There were a couple greens where the edges need some help, but it looked like they were working on improving them.
Overall I enjoyed this course and will play it again.

Retirement Course

Course is located in a retirement community so no one is in a hurry. Fairways are narrow and the entire course is tight. Greens are average and the staff was friendly. Good place to play for the money but have 41/2 to 5 hrs to get through the course.

Short course but very difficult to manuver down narrow fairways.

This course will challenge all your golf shots. Narrow Fairways with trouble on both sides. Great greens for true putts. You will enjoy all the wild life . Hit them straight and keep it in the short grass.

Good course for the money

Winter greens weren't fully established, course otherwise in good shape. First group out and the hot deal price was awesome. Course is tight and is challenging from the Gold tees, requires a great deal of accuracy. Played even more difficult due to the 35 MPH winds we played in as a storm front was approaching. Course is always fun to play and the staff is extremely friendly.

They are making improvements in different areas, such as bunkers and trimming trees, etc.

We enjoy playing this course because of being able to get on greens in regulation. It is a placement course instead of booming a driver on every hole, you have options.......

Very unique course

This course was probably the hardest short course I have ever played. From the back tees many of the par 4's are under 350 yards but here you are constantly forced to use different clubs off tees from 6I to the occasional Driver. Very tight course. Condition was excellent for the price. Greens roll pretty well a touch on the slow side. Friendly staff. Always a good experience at this course. Very tough to beat this course for under $25
