Worth the play for the right price

This course is no Pinehurst by any means but for a cheap and quick round this is most definitely not a bad course to play. I can’t recall too many memorable holes but I know there were some good ones. Overall it’s a pretty generic course but I had a great time playing it.

Overall Good

Played at 8AM and we had a fantastic time. Greens were in good condition and so were fairways, some tee boxes were sandy. Good mix of challenging holes, like the almost 600 yarder. Just play it.

First time on Bobcat

We played on a day where there was a tornament, so we had to play bobcat and panther. Bobcat needs some work probably is a course that isn't used unless there is tournaments. Overall Panther Gator is awesome. We will play

Rude staff

Old guy (senile?) in pro shop tried to tell me I was late for my tee time ( I wasn't). Overall incredibly poor attitude. Must have to be a geriatric in order to receive courteous and respectful service. Previously liked the course and recommended it to friends, but will have to tell them to avoid playing there. Will never play there again.

Need to CLEAR THE CLUMPS OF GRASS...PLAY THIS COURSE

Upon turning onto the access road, one is struck with the sounds of gun fire coming from the shooting club across the road...reception was neutral as I was early, and was able to get out to the starter early...hit a small bucket into range that was being MINED...per the Pro Shop...would call it, being dug up...the course was interesting in that, due to the recent rain levels, the grass must have exploded in growth...since there were GRASS CLIPPINGS LEFT EVERY WHERE...sadly, add in the FL sun, and what happens is they turn to garden compost quickly and the attendant smell was noticable...course could do with some updating of signage for directions to each hole...ICE WATER for drinking/towel wetting was available...all in all, a good value, but needs to get a large blower to move that grass off the fairways...and the homes are modular and carts will be passing directly outside some back yards...still, all in all, a good day...just the grass left to basically rot...easily fixed with a large blower...PLAY THIS COURSE WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE

Good place for cattle and sheep

No grass on fairways, Greens are slow and bumpy. Hard to hit good ground stokes when you are hitting off hardpan 90 percent of the time.

Comments from staff killed for me

First off, the course was fine. Green were in fair to good condition and rolled well. The fairways were wide and challenging enough to keep you on your game. What bothered me and the reason I won't return or recommend it was due to what the guy on staff said to my question about discounts for veterans and military. I asked the lady that was helping me about it and she said no they don't have any. I was cool with that. For some reason he felt it necessary to add "No, but we do have a rewards program that benefits everybody". We'll, hmmm, that didn't sit well with me mainly because of his tone. I know golf courses are privately owned and they can do whatever they want. But, you don't have to respond to a question with any sort of attitude when asked.

John from MI

The tee boxes were mostly sand (not good) The greens on the Gator were very spotty but no bare spots normal speed. The tee boxes on the Panther were better but not much The greens on the Panther were much better than the Gator. Flat course the ball would roll for ever. There were not markers on the tee boxes indicating water in play around the green . I might come back because the price was right to see if it looks better in the summer
