Fantastic Staff at Course

The course has a great very challenging layout and day of play high winds added some difficulty to play. An accident on I95 resulted in delay getting to course and the staff was very accommodating to the situation. The folks working at the course are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Had a nice meal at their restaurant following the round and the food and service was as good as it gets.

Nice people

Really enjoyed our round and everything from the pro shop to the cart girl were exceptional and made us feel welcome. The course must be fairly new but is coming along nicely. The front 9 was definitely a little easier than the back 9, front is pretty straight away and not too many hazards but the back makes up for it and gives a nice blend of water and sand to challenge your game. Well worth the money and time spent.

Thanks 🙏

The course overall has a good layout and has some elevation changes (at least here in Florida). But the conditions of the course was pretty poor. The greens had a lot of bumps and were very patchy, the fairways and tee boxes OK, but needed some TLC. I play this course a lot and the conditions are better in the summer.

This course has potential

Firstly, I want to say I love this course layout, the wildlife I always see is amazing as well.

Positives:

-Tee boxes were in great condition

-Bunkers we’re in perfect condition

-Pace of Play (Granted you may wait a little due to the current season)

-Layout (Loved the challenges of the non visible holes/ big bunkers)

-Fun Par 3’s

-WATER

Negatives:

-Rough was harsh and spotty (to be expected but at some points unacceptable)

-Greens were FAR too Sandy (Didn’t even want to putt)

-Fringe of green was filled with weeds on certain holes

-Fairways were decent (Some were Hard, Flat and unforgiving)

-Small Greens

Notes: While I understand this is no professional course, I feel it has A LOT of potential. I loved the views of the course, the challenging layout of the course and the staff. I golf here every 2 years to see if the course has changed and it has been around the same quality both times.

Great time on course that appears to be a revival in progress. Greens are the greatest issue when compared with other courses in the area.

Keep Working 💪 On It!

Ugly condition

I have played this course over 20 years and this is the first time I have seen this course in terrible condition. The fairways had no grass andost of the greens were in very bad condition. I will not play this course again. Until it is back on shape. To top it off the cost to play Wednesday was way overpriced for the condition of the course. DO NOT PLAY UNTIL IT IS IN PROPER CONDITION.

Slow play

Played with my wife Thursday and got behind a very slow looking for lost balls older foursome on the 3th hole, we were constantly waiting to tee off behind when there were nobody in front of them. They would not let us play through finally we decided to skip the 8th hole that they were on and go to the 9th hole. There were no Rangers on the course to speed play along! Payed good money to play this course and only played 17holes. Not impressed. Talked with another couple and the end of our game and they said they played around them as well! Rich

Pretty bad condition

The course was not in good condition. Fairways bare, greens unevenly cut and bumpy, tee boxes weedy. The clubhouse is beautiful but the course doesn’t match at all. To me, pretty much a waste of time.

Not as nice as the pictures

Back nine is pleasant. Front nine not as nice. Condition of fairways not too good. Very hard ground, bare spots. Most greens and tee boxes were ok but few were nice. There is a lot of sand in greens.

The pictures on their website look very plush and for the price this was not up to the image presented.
