WOW Factor
WOW. Great Golf Course and staff. This course is the best course in SW Florida. Fairways are like putting greens and putting greens are like silk. Challenging but very fun to play. Pace of play was 4 hours. Will definitely return to this magnificent course.

Forest Glen
Wasn’t able to play this course all last year as they allowed no public play due to pandemic. Yesterday’s round was a real treat. Very inviting welcome from security at gate and in pro shop, Scott vastly exceeded my welcome expectations. Very professional, very courteous.
Course was in excellent shape!
I see why it was #1 on Golfnow recently.
