Walkabout is Okay...

Currently this course is in high play due to snowbirds, which creates massively slow play...very painful. The course is begining to look a little overplayed which means the fairways are getting lots of divots and pot marks. The greens are still in pretty good condition - as long as you don't play behind some lazy feet draggers. I enjoy playing this course as its pretty local for me - but if the quality of play and course maintainance drops anymore - then I'll wait for the canadians to return north for the summer and come back.

Plenty of elevation changes for the east coast of Florida.

Booked Golfnow and joined another 2sum. Great weather and always like meeting new golfers. Cart girl was friendly and on it. Course was in very good shape. Greens started out slow and a little wet. By hole 6-7 the greens dried were more my speed.

OK not great

The course has improved from years past but there's better for the money, the greens were slow and bumpy but are better than 2 years ago when last played. I wouldn't go south of my way to play it.

Good value for the money

Love the layout, with many different types of

holes. Used all the clubs in my bag. Pace of play was about 4.5 hours, a little slow for Tuesday afternoon. Tees, fairways, bunkers, all in good shape. Greens have a nice cover, but a little on the slow side for me. Several tee boxes to choose from, so designed for all types of hadicap golfers to enjoy

Would definitely go back.

I know the object is to make money, from a business stand point, but when you get TO MANY golfers on the course at the same time its just NOT ENJOYABLE. This was one of the worse rounds I had this year we waited on every hole the ENTIRE ROUND. I suggest putting more time between tee time.

This course has some challenging holes especially on windy days

Course was in good overall condition and some holes are very challenging on windy days. Playing length from white tees is too short unless you are very short, but moving back to blue tees adds over 500 yards.

Beautiful but difficult

It's my fault, I suppose, for challenging myself. I didn't have much fun ... accuracy is at a premium.

Nice course, great shape, consistent greens; liked it

First time playing and I was impressed with the course design, the condition was very good, the greens were consistent and rolled true. Not many flat putts and the layout of the holes were challenging, especially from playing the gold tees. Will certainly be back and if I have visitors in town, I will take them here for a golfing treat.

Need a course marshall

Enjoyable course in good condition. Second time to play in last two weeks. Need management on the course, We were a twosome and Starter told us to go on ahead of our tee time as it was a slow day and the course was wide open. By hole #4 we back up into a single, two twosomes, and a foursome. Every hole after that we sat at every tee box a minimum of five to ten minutes. We lodged a complaint with the girl driving the snack cart and she said she would let the pro shop know. She also told us that there were two tournaments that morning and play was slow. We teed off at 11:20 and we did not finish our round until 4:00 p.m.

Dusty's take

I found the layout some what confusing the first day I played, since there is no layout shown either on the course or on the cards. There are several holes where you do not see the green or any trouble. There is sand on the front and water, lots of water on the back with a few forced carry's. I found it enjoyable enough to play again two days later.

A Very Nice Course to Play

The tees, fairways and greens were in very good shape. The staff, from pro shop to starter were friendly and responsive to questions. Yes I would return and bring a friend or two.

When the conditions are dry, this is a very fun and challenging course to play.
