2 different 9s

Front 9 is pretty straight forward until hole 8 where the hole is not visible from the tee box but it's a short hole.. the back 9 is a little more challenging.. played in about 3 hours as a twosome and let 2 singles thru who said they were members.. the sandtraps were in dire need of sand but the course was great overall

Love this Dye course

Great greens to roll the ball. Fast but playable. Terrific clubhouse with a fantastic restaurant. I go there many times with my wife and friends because it's the best presentation and food in this area. Course is fair but can be demanding. Long hitters will love it but you'll pay a price if your not in the short cut. Try it!!

Our favorite course !

Love this course. Greens were really good even though they were just aerated. Annoying that we couldn't find balls off the fairway because the grass was too long but then - if we had stayed in the fairway!! Great people, weren't pushed on the course.. Love it!

Really a nice surprise

Greens rolled very good and are of ample size. Some of the greens are huge, fairways were lush and the ball sits up. The layout has plenty of challenges. Played the Blue tees-over$6,000 yards. Nice course plenty of nature. We were very pleased with the conditions considering all the rain we are getting. You could tell that they were unable to mow in some areas that did not come into play. Clubhouse is beautiful.

Play this Course. I hope you enjoy it as we do.

A challenge, great hole designs, courteous Staff. We enjoy playing here, a good pace of play today. Now, if you could find a way to pipe AC to Course that would be AWESOME :-)

One issue I did not care for was "Golfers" fishing ponds around the Course during play. It did not interfere with pace of play today. I do know this could become an issue on a busy day. I do not think this is good Golf edict..This practice of (allowing) Fishing during play should not be encouraged. The reason we are out on Course is to play GOLF. As soon as we pulled up to Bag Drop there was a fishing pole along with Set of clubs on the stand. I think this gives golfers the idea that fishing is permitted. I don't see people playing golf on the waters I fish in..........Hah.

Thank you for providing a good golf Course for our play. It was enjoyable and we will play again.I'm hooked...pardon the pun.

Weeds in the fairways

Greens had recently been aerated but rolled ok. Fairways had weeds growing in them and were not in great shape.

Great couse for the price

A co-worker recommended this course to me. Booked it through GolfNow for Sunday at 9:15am and it cost $27. I was surprised how nice this course was for the price. I would of expected to pay more. Only negative thing was the teeboxes. They really need work. The grass was uncut in some areas and there were big patches of weeds. hard to find a place to tee up. Other then that, i had a really pleasant time playing here. I will play it again soon.

Course needs some love...

Great layout, great staff, great food. Driving range is terrible as well as many of the tee boxes. Can't believe that the course has fallen so far. Spent all that money on a beautiful club house with great food....and the course is worse then ever....

Nice condition in spite of very dry season

All the lower FL courses appear to show the effects of no seasonal rainfall. Here, however, the fairways still have green grass, and the ground is hard and dry. The greens are also green and carpet like, and I suspect they are cut longer than I prefer tp reduce burning. In any case, they ran true but quite slow. The layout is well designed, and was only in 2 traps, which were a little thin, but playable. This could be a 5 star course with normal rainfalls. And lastly, pace of play, 3.5 hours, and only that long because as a lone single with no one ahead or behind, I caught two foursomes by the 9th hole. Could have passed them but declined offers, it was too nice of a day.

Challenging course. Always fun.

This course has fairly easy holes broken up by extremely difficult ones. The harder holes are fair, but tough.

The course is in pretty good shape. The greens were nice, but rolled slower. Every cheap(er) course is somewhat brown right now, but it played great.

Worth the haul out there from Orlando.

slow

Nice course but very dry like most other area courses unless you pay more

No Ranger and slow groups really keep you waiting - so nearly 5 hour round

Greens are fairly good

Worth the drive!

I like trying new courses out rather than playing the same courses all the time. For me this was a 45 minute drive from Lake Mary. It was well worth my drive. Pulled up to a beautiful clubhouse and greeted by several friendly employees. The course was in great shape and the greens were the nicest around. The layout was tough but very fun. Glad I found emergency balls in my bag as I burned through a dozen pretty fast. For the winter time the pace of play was really good.

Value for money

Greens are the best part of the course. They roll true, no bare or dead spots. Tee boxes are in bad shape, fairways have thin and bare spots. Perhaps they will improve later in the spring. Staff is excellent and restaurant has great food.

Hidden gem

The course was in good condition and I enjoyed playing it. The course has some unique holes that can challenge the average golfer (such as myself). We also got a great lunch added in for an additional $5.

The pro shop was nothing special, but the restaurant was nice.
