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

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

Fairways were a little rough, can't pick the ball need to take divot off hard packed ground. Grass just needs to be a little longer.

Not terrible
I guess at this time of the year if you want to play for 50 bucks you have to expect that you are going to get a few issues. If you take preserred lies everywhere including the greens then you can get a round in here. It wont be nemorable in a good or bad way. . I guess i woukd prefer to risk somewhere else than come back again..
Played with a couple of young guys who were so polite. Only beginners but they had fun reminded me its aboit enjoyment.

Newcomer to Florida loved Schalamar Creek
First time playing here, but I was treated to a course guide, and paired with a twosome. Beautiful venue and challenging but very fun. Greens were perfect, too. I'm coming back.

Overall course rating
The Course was in good condition, it was the greens that really need help, if they get the greens 9n par this course will be outstanding. The Greens are really terrible.

Deceptively challenging
I played this course for the first time over a year ago. Recently played it for a 2nd time and the hiring of the new greens keeper was very evident. Course is in great shape and and its deceptively challenging. Tight fairways and an abundance of water makes you play smart. Has a lot of risk-reward holes which really makes you play within yourself.
