Overpriced and Poor Conditions

I have not played this course in a while and when I wanted to play, this was the only course available to me and my friends. And now I know why. First of all, for a non-member, non-military (active duty or retired), the cost was $70. That should have been red flag #1. Then when we got out there, the tee boxes appeared to be in decent shape. Drive the ball and there literally is no fairway. It’s all hard pan, sand and dirt with a few grass patches here and there. There is more grass in the rough than the fairways. Get on the greens and they are in ok shape. Now we are just coming into the season but the course looks like there was never an attempt to keep it up during the winter. It’s a shame really when this course used to be one of the nicer courses and values around. And there are no on course amenities (beverage cart or similar). I hope they get things straightened out but I highly doubt I will be playing there again.

Honesty

I had a rangefinder that I accidentally left on my cart. It was my Christmas gift from my dad, he passed away 3 days after. It meant a lot to me. I called several times after I left and the pro shop stated nothing was turned in. It was late in the afternoon and no way they rented the cart. I worked as a bag attendant, club repair, to a professional. and the way this club handled this situation is ridiculous. Whoever took it I hope you enjoy because karma is real.

Course conditions

The tee boxes are in good condition. The fairways are typically Florida sand course fairways, some are sparse of grass and some have good grass. Most of the greens are in very good shape. The bermuda grass is starting to grow and green up. The carts are very good. Some of the cart paths are in need of some TLC as well as the sidewalks that you are supposed to use to get to the course and back to the clubhouse. They changed up the Bay 9. Losing the first hole to housing. The old par five 5th hole is now a par four and a par three.

Course review

Fairways have no grass, and the greens need some work. (Very bumpy.)The pro shop was rude and I just didn’t feel comfortable.

Fairways non existent

Tees and greens were overseeded and had grain and colour to them. Fairways were non existent. No colour, all brown and very little brown grass. Hit off alot of hard pan as a fairway.

Worst course in the Florida Panna

This course should cost that most $20 to play the fairways are nonexistent. They’re all dirt and sand. The greens are in good shape. The layout is good but save your money. Go play anywhere but here.

Bad course

We played here 2 years ago but did remember the course conditions being this bad. You cannot fine any grass on the fairways. We actually used a tee after hitting off of sand/dirt for 9 holes. The layout and views are ok but I can say I have never played on a course that had no grass on the fairways. Don’t waste your money.

This will never be a $65 course. I will say that the tee boxes are the best I’ve seen them the last 4 years. The greens were better but bumpy. Fairways weren’t good.

Needs a lot of TLC

The staff is very friendly but the course needs a lot of attention and investment to make it a quality course. The layout is great.
