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

I Recommend This Course
The course looks pretty good, I'll be going back.
The course looks pretty good, I'll be going back. The greens are in really good shape, fairways are well maintained. They were adding sand around the green on the first hole, looks good.

Sets the mark
This is one of my (if not the) favorite courses in the area; and there are plenty to choose from. But this one stands out because it is a fair challenge, it is always in great shape, and the pace is pretty steady most of the time. But by far the single most important factor that brings me back time-after-time is the staff. They are the friendliest, most professional that I have dealt with. And they do it consistently.
For the money, for the challenge, and for being treated with respect - this is the place to come!

This course is fun to play occassionally.
With this course located in the middle of a swamp, there is an opportunity to see an abundance of wildlife. It's a short course, but can be challenging due to some narrow fairways. I love the island green on the 13th hole. Most of the staff is friendly except for one grumpy ranger. Didn't see him the last time I played here. Carts are in good condition and are kept clean. Nice restaurant & bar with friendly staff.
