A must play
Beautiful course, runs through a quiet tranquil setting! Love this course!
pace of playing
I believe they overbooked the course, took us 4 1/2 hours to play not use to that. Course was in good shape.
Walkabout
Course needs to be taken better care of. I was told the previous winter had wreaked a lot of damage which was still being repaired. Could notice problems with both fairways, greens and tee boxes. They also need to add ball washers on the course and more directional signs between holes. This can be an outstanding course if taken care of. New clubhouse is a real upgrade from the trailer I recall from past years. Am really hoping the course gets the treatment it deserves to make this a first class facility.
Holf's Best Kept Secret
Had never played Walkabout and was quite surprised to discover a gorgeous clubhouse, a fantastic staff and an immaculate and well designed course. My best friend and I plan on returning for another round and lunch within the next couple of weeks. Highly recommend this gem to golfers of all playing levels.
Nice experience
The course was in good shape and very fun I would go back and play it again..Some holes were a challenge for sure..
Walkabout
Course was in good shape. Greens were excellent. Some damaged fairways but most turf under repair was along the borders not in play.
Amazing scenery!!
The course was pretty much empty for a weekday. Blistering hot outside and all water stations were filled which was nice with such a small turn out. Course overall in average shape. Tee boxes and 90% of greens are in excellent condition, 75% of fairways are chewed up and in need of work.. Overall would return on a golf now hot deal but wouldn't pay full price...
Beautiful course.
This was my second time playing this course. The conditions are great, there was one maybe two fairways in need of help. All the greens were in awesome shape, no weeds in sight the rough was a little punishing so you really want to stay out of it. Course is not too far from the coast so the sea breeze was there.
The practice green and the driving range are nice. Practice green rolls pretty much as the greens do. Staff were very nice and helpful.
Nice to Play
I really enjoyed the lay out of this track. It's a fairly easy course to get around with no real challenging obstacles, but was still a great course to play. The greens ran very true and were decent paced. The layout was interesting and made you plan your shots instead of just stepping up and swinging away. I will play this one more than once to be sure.
Great Time
I have been playing Walkabout for several years and I love it! The course is in great shape right now and they take very good care of it. It's a very challenging course which I enjoy and the new club house is beautiful. Can't say enough about this course. For the money, it is the best in the area!
Hidden gem. Great greens now. Good value.
Greens were in excellent condition. Fairways generally good shape. Rough not well maintained, but shouldn't be there anyway. Love the layout through Florida river lowlands. Lots of wildlife. No homes or buildings after second tee. Good value for the money. Very accommodating staff. Lots of water. Hole number four gets my vote as the most difficult par four in Central Florida. The longer the drive, the narrower the fairway.
Hidden gem.. Great layout and greens. Great value.
A hidden gem located in a residential development that went bust several years ago. Beautiful new clubhouse is an effort to revive the development. Greens were excellent.. Fairways were in very good condition. Rough was not well maintained, but I shouldn't be there. No homes or buildings after the second hole. Natural Florida river flats terrain with lots of water. Lots of wildlife. Very accommodating staff. Can't really address the food because we didn't eat. Would definitely recommend this course, especially to tourist who want to see natural Florida river terrain. Are a few challenging holes. I would rank number four as the most challenging par four in Central Florida.
worst shape ever been in
I have played the course of and on for about 10 years. It has a very challiging layout but the condition of the coursr has really gone downhill, The new club house is great.
Not my favorite
I don't usually mind links courses but I didn't care for this one.The score cards had no pictures of the holes so from the tee you didn't know if it was a dogleg or what.You also had some carry's that you didn't know how far to hit.The greens were pretty soft.It looked like they had been plugged recently and filled with sand so they were bumpy.We drove over an hour to get there so it would have been nice to know.The staff was super friendly and the clubhouse looked great.We had plans to eat elsewhere so we didn't get to eat there.I probably won't go back.
Golf
Nice layout tuff in the wind. Need some work on the fairways, greens where running nice over all very good value
You can't walk at walkabout.
Booked through golf now so I got a good deal. 1st time playing there since take over by new management company. Started after large tournament. Minimal waiting time. Tee boxes and greens in good shape. Fairways not so fair. Weeds and bare patches but new company just took over so give them a chance. Bunkers missing rakes. Beverage girl timely. If you are a senior or high handicapper move up and play from the white tees. Group ahead could not reach many par 3's and par 4's in regulation. No rangers.
One of the best around
Nice setting, fairways in very good condition. some holes designed like a link golf. Very challenging course. You have to be a sraith driver to score good.
Money
I have played here several times over the years. The layout is one of the best around.That is the good news.The condition of the course has deteriorated every year I have played. I can only hope now that they have a new club house the true focus can now turn to the condition of the course. Because the food can be the best in the world ,I go to play golf .They should complement each other.
Great day
Amazing course. Great condition. Hard course LOTS of water. You must be accurate.
First time back
First time playing in over a year and the course was in excellent condition. The beverage cart made it's rounds quickly! The clubhouse and facilities are top notch. I will definitely be coming back soon and often.
Thank you for the great feedback! The team at Walkabout is working diligently to create a great gold experience.
