Twice not as nice.
Disappointed that such a interesting layout suffered due to course conditions.
Thank you for your great review and we hope to see you at the club in the near future!
Great layout
Course was picturesque and yet still challenging. Like many of the area courses they all need a fair amount of water to get them in good condition. Can’t wait to play it again.
Thank you for your great review! That water you were asking for still has not come but we're doing everything we can to continue to improve the course! We laid a bunch of new sod on our tees and the soil has all the nutrients it will need once the rains finally start. We hope to see you again soon!
Thank you for your review. Please reach out to us at the golf course directly as we'd like to hear more details about your experience so we can earn those last two stars on your next visit! Hope to see you again soon!
Greens were very slow and bumpy. Pins were not straight into the cups. All we’re leaning one side or another. No foam inside the cups, too tough to get the ball out of the hole.
Hi there. We do appreciate you leaving us some feedback and will pass this along to our maintenance crew. Have a wonderful day!
Needs some tlc
Course is great layout, but needs some manicuring and some grsss in the fairway.
Thank you for your review! The cold winter was very hard on the course and did result in the thin turf in the fairways. However, now that spring has arrived and warmer temperatures and hopefully some rain are coming, the course is progressing nicely!
Thank you for your great review! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Windy
Nice go freindly staff played in the wind and still enjoyed it
Thank you for your review! We certainly have no shortage of wind at our course but that always keeps it interesting! Hope to see you again soon!
Enjoyable Dye course
I enjoyed my day on this Perry Dye course. Conditions of tees and fairways could be better, but for what you are charged to play one cannot be surprised.
Layout is difficult off the tee and typically more forgiving around the greens. Greens are not over done and are in great condition.
I enjoyed the 18th hole shaped like the continent of Australia. Course has changed names and this green has ties to the codesigner of the course.
Thank you so much for your review! The course is coming along nicely this spring and we just need the rainy season to start up as we have been incredibly dry. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.
Thank you for your review! We hope to see you at the club again soon!
Get a yardage book
The club house is very nice and the pro shop seemed fully stocked. The pro shop staff, cart staff, and starter were very friendly and informative. We paid an extra $6 on top of our greens fees for a small bucket of range balls and the lunch special. The driving range turf was nice but we wondered how they are able to pick up balls from a range that is in great need of being mowed. The range balls could use a good washing as well. No visible yardages were stated on the range but there were colored posts for your range finder. The first two holes are pretty straight forward. However, first timers should get a yardage book or at least have the course layout in front of them as THIS IS A POSITION golf course. If you miss a fairway or green you best miss it on the correct side or you will add an extra degree of difficulty. Once we learned that, we found the course to be a fun challenge. There are several blind tee shots and several risk/reward holes. The greens were smooth and rolled true but were also very firm with several wedge shots landing on the slightest of downslopes easily rolling off the green. It is kind of a Pete Dye course without the railroad ties. We were there on a weekday and the staff told us there was not a beverage cart on the course. I hope they have one on the weekends. But it was nice they let us know to take drinks with us. After the round we had the lunch special which surprised us with lots of options. We had the pulled pork sandwich and quesadilla. Both were large portions and very good. The restaurant staff is very attentive and pleasant. This is a course that makes you want to play it again because after the first round you know what you could have done better!
Hi Jeff! Thank you for leaving us a review and taking some time to provide us some feedback. For your next visit, please download and try our free app. You can scan the QR code in the golf shop, golf cart, or just search for it in your store. It has a built in GPS with images of each hole that you can touch to get yardages to any point. That will make your next round a lot easier as you are correct in stating this is a position course! Hope to see you again soon!
Thin fairways
The staff is fantastic, from the person that checks you in to the staff in the restaurant.. the greens rolled beautifully but the fairways were thin. As a local, we're spoiled to play this course in the summer and early fall in under 3 hours.. less when we are 2some.. today was brutal.. played the first 7 holes in a little over an hour and 3 and 1/2 hours the last 11.. It was brutal.. to top it off a 2some on 16 had their cart die on them and they walked 17 and 18. Didn't let anyone play thru.. We'll be back after Easter for sure.
Thank you for your review. We did have a very busy winter season this year and it did put a bit more wear on the golf course than normal. We also have had an extremely dry spring. The crew is working hard to improve the course and we expect when the rains finally come the course will come around. Hope to see you again soon.
Needs Tender Loving Care
Divots all over the fairways. The players do not use the seed sand provided with the carts to fill up the divot holes. Patchy greens and fairways.
Great layout. Waterholes everywhere, making it fun. Hope for rain to make it green and lush.
Thank you for your review! We had a very busy winter and also a lot of frosty mornings. That caused the turf to completely shut down during the winter, which is not common this far south. That did take a toll on the turf from play and from cart wear. However, now that growing season is here, the crew is working hard to get the course back into great shape! We do hope to see you again soon!
Nice course
Good place to get in a round. Wonder about impact of new housing construction on front nine.
Thank you for your review! Most of the construction around the front 9 is well away from the golf holes. The new homes on #1 are one of the closest spots and they did not change the layout of the hole at all. We do appreciate your great review and hope to see you again soon!

Hi Stephen. Thank you for your feedback. We are in the midst of a really tough drought that started back in March and hasn't let up yet. The golf course was built on an old orange grove which means its on very sandy soil. Water doesn't stick around for long so when its EXTREMELY dry like it has been, we rely purely on irrigation to keep the course going. However, when the dry conditions go on for several months, we run into a shortage and can only put out as much as the county can give us. We have done a lot of work to the course to try to get through this dry season including putting down a bunch of sod on some of the tees and putting out a bunch of additional fertilizer that is aimed to help capture and hold as much moisture in the soil as possible. Rainy season is nearly here and this drought will soon break and the course should come around fairly quickly. We hope that once that happens you will give us another chance and see all of the improvements. Thanks again!
