The little gem

As always Crane Lakes treats you like a millionaire member. I had to call and ask if I could come latter because I had an issue at home. Brian didn’t bat an eye and slotted me an hour and a half later. He said no problem come earlier or later. During the round the rain came down in torrents. When I walked into the pro shop Ruth asked me if I got in 18. When I said I didn’t she gave my wife and I a rain check.

You can’t play a better course in Volusia county.

Short challenge

We arrived for a 1230 tee time There was a regular Sunday morning group that was going out. So they moved us up to 1130. And on the back. That was nice. Our first imprecision was that the course was nice and wide. The course is tucked in between a modular home community. Very nice looking and well kept. That said, there were some holes that were kinda tight from the white and black tres. Bring plenty of ball's. You will loose a few from those tee's.

This was a fun challenging track. Not very long but don't be fooled, very challenging. The pace of play was good on this day. Women will love this course. My wife beat me by 10 strokes. Like I said, being plenty of ball's.

I will definitely be back. I recommend those places.

new favourite

the course although shorter than most offers a challenging layout with water in play on a large percentage of the holes. Fairways and greens were in excellent shape . The rough swallowed balls , so it was important to keep tee shots n the short stuff.

my only complaint was the absence of ball washers on the course or carts

Excellent Condition

I have played this course several times this year and it has consistently been in excellent condition. The fairways are well grassed, the bunkers large and well groomed, and the greens are smooth and fast.

Don't let the course length (it's relatively short) fool you. There are only two par 5 holes and eight par 3 holes. There is a nice variety of hole layouts with a different look for each hole. The challenges are definitely there - from water carries to tough rough to deep bunkers to undulating greens. It definitely helps to have played the course a few times to become familiar with where you want to hit the tee shot where to land the ball on the greens. Though the rough is not deep it serves as true penalty rough and it can be a challenge to get a consistent recovery shot, so it truly encourages you to keep hitting the fairway.

Don’t Judge A Course By It’s Numbers

If you look at the par 66 and short yardages of this course and write it off as not worthy of your time and money, you’ll be missing a unique gem. Large, undulating greens rolling a smooth 10-11. Beautifully manicured fairways despite heavy rains in the past few weeks. This course may not be very demanding off the tee, but the premium placed on short-mid irons provides plenty of challenge and enjoyment. Easily worth twice the amount we paid to play. Will be back.

Challenging Course

This course is very challenging as most of the holes have water. Today the greens had been sanded but were still fairly fast and in good condition. Staff was very friendly and the course is one of the most well manicured in the area.

Short and Accurate

A shot makers course with several forced carries over water. Very challenging, length is not at a premium but is needed on several holes. Very unique layout with 8 par threes, 8 par fours and and only 2 par five holes and a par of 66. Don’t let the par fool you it is quite a challenge to play. Not much of a clubhouse but I would play it again.

Outstanding Shape

I could not believe how great of shape the course is in. From tee boxes to fairways to greens, all were in outstanding condition. No need to roll your ball on the fairways, they were perfect. The greens were the best I have seen in all of Central Florida this summer. It was so nice, we didn't even care it was only a par 66, so much so we came back the following Saturday. I'm not kidding, it was that nice, check it out!!
