Excellent course friendly staff

The course is in excellent shape. Front nine great for long ball hitters and back nine provides tight and challenging layout.

Getting Better

Love this course but it has taken some hits regarding course condition. But, they have done a lot to improve it and if they continue, it would be a top five in central Florida.

Pace and condition of the course sucked!

Greens were bumpy and very slow. Fairways were also very bumpy. We were behind a threesome that took forever on every green and had a full hole open in front of them the whole time. When we asked to play through they said no. No ranger on the course at all. This place used to have nice greens, but the have let them go to pot. Very thin grass on them and kind of sandy.

gfront 9 ok, back nine a beautiful beast

most of the front nine was just so-so, but starting at #9 for the rest of the golf course the holes were very difficult but awesome. I would definitely play this course again. #13 & 15 are REALLY difficult. Especially 13. wow. There was nobody out there and my friend and I played it twice and triple bogeyed it both times. And I'm a 12 handicap.

Just OK

The coarse is a fun track to play. But everything is a little wet and soggy due to all.of.the rain

The staff is friendly and the club house is nice. For the price , it's worth the time to drive over

Very soggy after rain

My first time playing this course, I probably won't play again. I played following aeration and a week of rainy weather, so conditions were poor. Cart paths are all dirt which made for a very bumpy ride with lots of ruts. Many areas don't drain well so standing water was a problem. Greens were OK, but aeration made for bumpy putts. Sand traps are filled with some kind of dirt, not sand, which compacts even more after rain. I enjoyed the variety and character of the layout.

Mr. Jones,

Thank you for taking the time to offer us some feedback. As you stated, the course has been VERY wet. We have had over 12 inches of rain in the last two weeks. Unfortunately, this does lead to less than perfect conditions. As soon as the rain stops all of the paths get graded, the bunkers raked and cleaned up, and the mowers get back out and smooth everything up. Once the weather breaks, please give us another shot and I think you will find the conditions much improved.

Course Is Not Finished

This course seems like it is either not finished or it is deteriorating. Course lay out is challenging. But no map of the holes on the scorecard or on the yardage signs. So sometimes you have to guess where the fairway is. The driving range is just an under construction lot. Some of the bunkers are eroding. And there is standing water in some of the fairways and some of the bunkers. Looks like they are trying to build a community around an 85% complete golf course.

Need work

The people, restaurant and layout for this course are top notch. Unfortunately, the playing condition need work. Maybe it's the summer heat, but there are large areas of dead or no grass on the course. Even the greens are spotty and running slow, due to the longer cut of the grass. It is a wonderful layout, bu tI cannot give it my highest recommendation because of the spotty conditions, Maybe they'll have it worked out by the spring.

worth the drive

45 minutes for me, nice, quiet, woodsy, lots o' water. Looks like some punching of fairways and chem application on some fairways this time 'round. Still very playable, I'll be back.

A little rough

Staff was friendly and offered us tips regarding the course. First couple of fairways had been pua chef and rough. The greens were in decent shape.

I believe the staff are working to improve the course.
