Beautiful Facility

Course was in great shape tee to green, very plush, however, greens on first nine (oaks I think) were terribly slow. Greens on back nine (marsh) were much nicer, but both ran true & were consistent on each of respective nine holes. Had fair amount of rain 2 days before, so maybe that was the case, as typically in the past, greens here are nice & quick. Both green side bunkers I found were a little thin on sand & "heavy" after top 1/2" or so ( see above rain comment). Teed off early, so a little disappointed wasn't able to take advantage of nice practice facility, but played in exactly 4 hours for a foursome. All in all, by far one of the nicest courses in the area. Play it!!

Nice layout, challenging course

Love the layout. Course was a bit wet and several holes were cartpath only. Cart paths were not latkes for distance this slowing down play in order to walk out to ball to ascertain a yardage.

Marsh Creek

Always enjoy playing Heron Creek. Played Marsh-Creek which are best sides IMO. Overall playability was good considering heavy rain overnight. Cart path only is brutal though. Layout is challenging and yardage is deceptive especially in windy conditions.

One of our three-some made a hole-in-one on Marsh #6 so he thinks its an easy game.8 iron from 151.

Beautiful golf course, everything is very well maintained. Played the Oaks/Marsh. Both nines were beautiful and in great condition. I found the Oaks to be more challenging and struggled a little as I am not the most experienced golfer. Still had an amazing day and am definitely looking forward to playing another round.

Nicest I’ve played in three months

I’m a snowbird, been in Florida 3 months. By far the best course I’ve played. I play 3-4 times a week…Davenport area for 6 weeks, Sarasota since March 21.

Course is not for the weekend warrior…lots of trouble, hard / fast greens, lots of break…most are elevated and guarded by bunkers and or H2O. Great scenery, challenging layout. I loved it….playing partner found lots of sand!!!

Pace of Play

On a day that was already overbooked they let 2 singles out in front of us who were members. Pace of play was already slow due to very large lady groups who had played in the morning according to a ranger. We paid our money to play so do not know why they would stick 2 singles out in front of us on 1 and 10. We were actually a threesome and they could have joined us rather than further slow down play
