Good for the money

Payed the hot deal price and enjoyed the course. The course was in good shape., fairways were rolling and greens played true.

There was a lot of blind t shots that made the course difficult for someone who has never played this course.

One of the nicest layouts in Central Florida

After about two weeks of straight rain the course dried out nicely Green's averaged about 7 on the step meter. I always enjoyed this layout you have to work the ball left-to-right and right-to-left and you hit all the clubs in your bag that's all you can ask for

Great Staff

Course could use some work. Too many "blind"

tee shots.

I will say this; I have not been to a public golf course where the staff is as friendly as this. From the Pro shop, to the starter, to the wait staff. Everyone is extremely gracious and sincerely asks how you are doing.

Thank you for taking the time to offer us some feedback. We do have some blind tee shots out here and while some dislike that, others see it as a fun challenge. We have developed a really great course app that has gps and overhead views of each hole so it can help you navigate those shots.

Thank you for the kind words about the staff. We have such a great team here and its very rewarding to hear our guests are having a good time!

Hope to see you again soon!

wet yet fun

A few of the fairways had some bare spots but no big issue. Just move the ball a few yards onto the nice fairways. Greens roll moderate speed even though course was wet. Greens had been recently aerated. Tees in real good shape and majority of fairways in real good shape. This course has an excellent layout. Fun and challenging course. Good food in the restaurant and good service.

@johnleishear Thank you for your great review! We are working every single day to make sure our guests come and have a great experience from check-in all the way through their post-round lunch! In reference to the bare spots you talked about, we did have some early summer weed activity that we went ahead and jumped on to spray out. As such, those areas are thin but the turf is growing back in there quickly. These recent rains will only help with that. Within a few weeks those should be completely healed over with nice healthy turf just like the rest of the fairways! Thanks again for taking the time to leave us a response and we look forward to seeing you again next time!

Good morning! Thank you so much for leaving us a nice review. The rains we have had recently have set us slightly behind in the traps but the team is working hard to catch back up on those now that we've dried out a little. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Nice course natural setting

Greens in great condition with some visible aeration holes. Almost all the tees were in good condition, a few were patchy. Very few houses along course. Lots of water hazards on back nine including an island green on 16. Fairways were in excellent shape. I played midday on a Friday and I had no one in front or in back of me. Cart included cooler with ice, cold water available at several holes. Beautiful natural setting surrounded by lush woods and wetlands.

Aeration

Great staff. Driving range needs a lil work. Balls are so old, it’s not even worth warming up. Fairways have brown patches on them Tee boxes need to be better manicured so that your not hitting off dirt patches. Greens look like they were recently aerated so the ball doesn’t roll so good (ball always goes right. Aim left ). Other then that, kinda went down hill since the last time I was there 2 years ago. Probably won’t play here again. Other places in the area to play.

Thank you for coming to see us and for leaving us some feedback. The crew is working very hard to improve course conditions. We do overseed the range and par 3 teeboxes in the winter to help with the high traffic. These leads to them being a bit thin in the summer but we fertilize weekly to try and push them to grow back in. We're making significant progress and seeing good growth now that we are into the good growing season. We put new range balls out each year at the start of the busy season in November so the current balls are nearing the end of their life cycle. We'll have new ones out very soon! We do hope you'll give the course a few weeks to grow and heal and would expect that your next visit would be a much better one with the conditions you'd like to see. Thanks again for the review and hope to see you soon!

Use the app

Course layout excellent

The range has not been mowed in a long time not sure how they are getting the balls back

All there have commented on the tee boxes. Yes some are patchy. But appears they are trying to get them back in shape. I mean we use tees so this is not a game changer.

Only complaint, appears I started playing in time for the sprinklers to be on. Literally chased them most of the long holes

Course was in decent shape for this time of year, some of the fairways were a little worn, but greens are fine and it is a challenging golf course.

I recommend it.

The neighborhood around the course is booming so the first and tenth hole was noisy but the other 16 were very enjoyable as always.. With the lack of rain in the past few weeks there were some brown spots but nothing major.. the staff is awesome..
