Great Conditions

This course is in great shape all around from the tee boxes to the greens. With the hot deal, this has to be the best value for the quality of the course in this area. Without the hot deal, it’s still worth the price tag. Well worth the drive to play.

Good bang for your buck

Got a good deal on GolfNow and gotta say it was a great course. Good practice facilities with good bar and great spot to play if you’re a local or on vacation. My dad, brother in law and I are from Arkansas and all had the same opinion. Greens are undulated but not too fast so makes a fun challenge, mostly driver friendly from the tee. Overall great experience.

Definition of a hidden gem.

Don’t let the drive from the beach keep you from playing here. It’s an awesome course. Not your typical Florida vibe. Lots of elevation changes. Greens and fairways are above average for the area Club house is adequate and best hot dog at the turn we’ve had in a long time. Great experience. Course is challenging but fun.

AMAZING!!!

This was literally one of the best most well maintained course I’ve ever played. Tee boxes, fairways, and Greens! Amazing! Club house was lacking and no cart girl, but if you’re there for good golf, you’re going to get it!

Range Balls

I went to check in and was informed that range balls did not come with the greens fee! CHEESEY! The greens fees were enough and other top notch courses in the area do not charge for range balls! If you all need more money increase your membership dues and do not sock it to the guests! Ridiculous! Put a bad taste on the experience!
