Front 9

Only played 9 today because I had the little one with me. Staff was awesome and the course is slowly getting better. Some of the fairways need some help but the greens were good, just very slow. Better than it was in the summer. Hopefully it keeps improving. Lots of nature being knocked down around the course is a bummer. Ruining what was a really pretty course.

Has potential

The staff was pleasant and responsive. The clubhouse and restaurant along with the pro shop, seem out of place with the poor conditions and lack of maintenance of the course. The rough and surrounding vegetation is over grown, leading to any shot,even slightly astray, to be very difficult to find let alone play. There are large amounts od garbage along the course just of the cart path. If not for the Hot deal this would have been a huge waste of money.

Used to be one of my favorites

I haven’t played here in over a year and thought if it improves after that amount of time, I’d start playing it again. I was disappointed to say the least. I found the fairways still have not been leveled out and are still very bumpy…fairway potholes would be an accurate description. The greens on the front putted very slow. The first cuts on the whole course are much taller than a ball so your chances of finding it are 3 in 10. The 12th hole, par 3 over water isn’t even visible after the years growth as was the 17th hole, par 4. The fairway was completely blocked from view. If you’ve never played it, you would not have a clue as to where you should drive the ball. I will not be going back, unfortunately, because of these conditions. What I can say positively about the course is that it has a great layout on the back 9 with no homes…pure and natural Florida which appears to be reclaiming the land.

Fun but not the best maintenance

Love the course but the maintenance is lacking. Should not lose multiple balls that were hit just off the fairway but the grass is so long. That is compounded by the amount of blind shots around the course. This isnt the U.S. Open, shouldnt be so hard to find your shot. A few tee boxes were also really rough with barely anywhere to setup comfortably. That said, it's still a good value and the staff is great.

One step forward, two steps back

The greens are nice but the tee boxes, the fairways are so rough, apparently they can’t keep help. Bobby Jones golf is managing the course, but the overall health of this track has changed for the worse.

IRP Review

Used to be a member at this course and do like to play it on occasion. I did find that they have done a lot of work bring the course back up to par. Considering that is has gotten a lot of rain, it was in pretty good shape.

Course is in rough shape

Found this place on golf now. The pictures looked awesome, reviews were good. Went and played and it was a major disappointment. The course was in the worst shape that I could imagine. The greens were like Velcro, huge patches of dry grass on the greens, the fairways were mine fields and the weeds completely out covered the grass. The tee boxes were mostly dirt, and overall this course just sucked. We stopped after 9 holes and just went home. Do not recommend this to anyone
