Great course
Nice to play, good practice area. Only thing lacking was beer cart.
We are so happy you enjoyed your round, frank5799237! We look forward to seeing you again soon at The Champion Turf Club at St. James.
Fun course
Besides that it was really windy, the course was fun because there was roll on the fairways, greens held well and rolled fast and true. Pace was very slow at first but picked up through the back nine. The starter was awesome, with helpful hints and very friendly. Definitely will play there again.

Not a $70 course
Greens were very good but fairways were sandy with not a lot of real grass

Great value.
Nice layout, course as not pristine but challenging and fun to play. Staff is great and helpful, especially Joe and his brother. Consider how overpriced most courses are today this one is a good choice.

Paint dryers faster
First of all they take my money send our foursome to the starter. Starter does have a listed. Says they are giving up golf now and it’s all messed up. Finally get on the course and it’s backed up. Waited from the first tee on. -8 holes in 5 1/2 hours. Never again.

First course played on our Florida vacation
The sign in, cart people, and starter were all pleasant and helpful. We used the nice practice areas. We found our way around the course with no problems. Play could have been quicker even with the wind. The fairways were hard and fast. They could use some work while the greens were excellent. Bottom line we have put this course on our Florida list of places to play. I also enjoyed an excellent ham and cheese sandwich afterwards.

Course is great especially the greens
The course is easy to get tee times. Greens are especially good since being redone in last 6-8 months. Staff members are friendly. Practice range has sand chipping driving and putting areas. Great value and they offer clinics twice a week staffed with knowledgeable instructors. Great place to learn, play or just practice…
