LOOK AT THE COURSE BEFORE YOU PAY

Very rough and dried out conditons. Bare spots on tee boxes, fairways and greens. Conditions warrant emergency assistance or they will lose the course.

There was almost no grass on the fairways and greens were patchy and hardly mowed so very furry. We were very disappointed because it is a good layout.

Tough but enjoyable course.

Not the cheapest but reasonable value for money. It’s one of those courses that you’d play better the second time around! Accuracy off the tee was vital on some of the holes.

Fuzzy greens needing mowing and rolling

Not bad for a very dry March. Lots of the fairways were quite thin and bare in some spots. They are trying because I see aeration holes in quite a few places. Front nine basically flat and wide for landing zones. Back nine needs good shot making. You can get in trouble swinging all out. Greens mostly OK with a few bare spots. Needed cut the day I played. Slooow! I'll go back when I want a flat course.

Terrible conditions

The course is absolutely atrocious. Tee box terrible on every hole, fairways have very little grass, greens were sanded and 3 putts minimum today., the walking bridge on 15 was in very bad shape, I almost fell off into the water with gators below, I can not say anything positive about this course, save your money and play somewhere else.

Course is not in good shape. Greens were top dressed and in bad shape. Fairways were like hitting off of concrete. Luckily I only paid $30. Full price green fees is not worth it. It's got a long way to go to be a $45+ course.
